That guy is a tool. I couldn't care what sort of degree he's doing. He's still a tool.

Took a look at his sample shots, fairly soft, lacking in detail and a fair bit of noise to boot. Suppose it's pretty impressive for a phone, but it's no slr.

I just wonder if he'd swap his D70 for another K750i, cos I'd be happy to oblige :wink: :lol:

Hopefully he's a forum member and reading this!

Geez, you guys are hard on him. He does mention he got the phone for free :lol: Gary, Leigh and I all bought these phone cameras before the price rise! How can you go past these phones, f2.8 through their whole focal range. Stubbsy, you have let the cat out of the bag, I was going to sell my lenses slowly and replace them all with this phone.

As a side note, as it is implied he is a pro photog, wont his clients be happy to read he is now using a camera phone :shock:

what a great phone!

Have you seen the samples? I really like the one of Terry Lane. It is the same Terry Lane as on ABC radio. I wondered about that when I saw the byline. He looks very dour.
