I can take pictures with my real camera just as fast as with my phone. The only time it takes longer is when special circumstances (low light, close range, shooting directly towards the sun, etc.) demand I mess with the settings.

I prefer printing the pictures and using a real camera... But who has those these days? (Also, when you lose your data, that's where you need to start worrying).

Dang it 111222333444!  You stole my number!   

 

Anyway, I like taking pictures, and it doesn't matter to me what I use to do so.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 has a 41 megapixel camera.. My phone and camera are now one, pictures are always awesome.

My Lumia has 8 MP I think (I own a 920). I really love the picture quality, especially when I take pictures at night. I use it quite often, contrary to my previous phone. This is a pic I recently took in Brussels, the uncompressed version is here.

Pretty!  I like it.

 

I would show a picture of mine, but they're all too big to be put on this site.

I don't do as much photography as I probably should.

I guess what I mean to say is that we have our phones on hand all the time, in our pockets, on top of the fridge, etc, and getting the camera out or having to haul yet ANOTHER thing with us is a pain.  It really makes me have a deeper appreciation for what my parents went through.

2229. You guys are so funny, Everyone knows Blackberry is where its at.

[Duke87 1,070]

Blackberry is so 2005. Also, more megapixels doesn't mean a better camera. You can have a photo that's high resolution but fuzzy/grainy.

[timmie 988]

2231

 

The 1020 uses its 41 MP (in practice: 38 MP) for oversampling. The result is a 5 MP photo (although I think you can access the 38 MP RAW-files too).

My little Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360's camera is only 2MP. But FAAAR better than taking photos or videotaping with a toaster or potato... [/sarcasm]

I don't care to take pictures with my phone because they come out so crappy but I never carry my camera. I don't even know where the charger for it is.

I am having a great and open discussion on Minecraft Forum. One that could not be held on Simtropolis because the topic would be forced to be one sided or locked.

Speaking of forums, you know what I love about Simtropolis more than other forums?

The fact that it takes a year and a half for a thread to die. I've seen that number as low as 3 weeks. 3 weeks and no one can post after that. Welcome to Simtropolis, where it takes a year and a half.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

2236: The friendly nature of most on here. It runs smoothly and I genuinely enjoy visiting.

Yeah, some of us take some time between CJ updates.

 

(I'm totally working on one, honest!)

AARGH! Just saw two large rats running around my home. I managed to kick out one rat, but one is still at large, hiding in the nooks and crannies of my home. I HATE THEM.

 

EDIT: GRAMMAR CHECK! Ah well, I'm OC.

Get rat traps. Bait them. Snap! Critters are swiftly executed.

[timmie 988]

2240

Yeah, but then you have a dead rat in your house. Also not nice

[Mr Saturn64 742]

2241

One time my dad stepped on a mouse barefoot in our kitchen.

Yuck.

[Duke87 1,070]

Better a dead rat than a live one. Dead ones can be disposed of and won't come back.

 

My parents get a few mice in their house every so often. They have traps, it's no big deal. I've even cornered and killed a couple of them personally.

 

Never seen any rats in their house but I see them in the subway here in the city all the time. I don't know how well known this fact is across the world, but yes, the subway tunnels in New York City have tons of rats living in them. Due to the prevalence of litter it's a problem that's persisted for decades and no matter how much the MTA tries to fight back, there are just too many rats and too many nooks and crannies to ever get rid of them all. Meanwhile, New Yorkers see rats skittering about the tracks and don't blink. It doesn't typically bother most of us.

So that's not just an urban legend? We don't have any visible rats in our underground system, but that being said it's not nearly as extensive.

I've seen little country mice running around outside, but the only rats I've seen since I've been here were in the Ginza Line tunnels at Ueno Station.

[timmie 988]

2245

 

I've never seen rats, I think. But of course there are tons of rats in Brussels too, like in any city. I see mice regularly, sometimes in the garden or at the countryside, or when a cat is playing with one on the streets.

[Duke87 1,070]

So that's not just an urban legend?

 

Alligators in the sewers: urban legend

Rats in the subways: 100% true

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Urban legend?  Next you're going to be telling me the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are actually fictional characters and they AREN'T eating pizza and kicking shell under NYC...

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

2248: Ahem, Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles?! And yes, that was actually a thing. Censorship ><

What the heck?  Is that in Australia?  That's ridiculous!  What, is ninjas not PC? 

[Duke87 1,070]

Dunno about Australia, but it seems that the altered name was used throughout Europe. It's a classic case of cultural differences: Americans compared to people in some other nations are generally not bothered by violence, Europeans are comparatively squeamish about it. The word "ninja" was deemed inappropriate for the title of a children's show in the Europe, and in many countries they also had to edit out the use of the turtle's ninja weapons.

 

This sort of crap happens coming into the US as well as going out of it. Megaman NT Warrior saw tons of changes in the English dub over the original Rockman.EXE anime. They changed the name of Fireman (one of the villains) to Torchman because they decided that they didn't want children to associate the name "Fireman" with a bad guy. But the name wasn't changed in any of the video games, just in that TV show!
