Capabilities of a camera-phone

[JonathanD]

Sorting through some old pics on my SD today and I noticed a blurred one where my phone had focussed on a blob when I was attempting to take a picture of a fox on the perimeter of a field....

When I zoomed in to find out what it was, I found that the camera had somehow picked up a mosquito flying by. Amazing...

bet you couldn't do that again Brilliant!

Can't see me doing that again. The odds against it happening must be horrendous.

Why is it flying upside down?

Try taking pics in the Oz bush - you end up with pictures of flys caught at 2000th of a second!

Is that why the background's blurry? The phone A/F'd on the mozzie.

Small air show, there are the heavys on next bumbles and maybugs,

Certainly is.

Woah! You better get yourself a lottery ticket I reckon.

what resolution on your cameraphone? Mines 5mp and produces pretty good shots too. SHould see the fireworks videos too. They were perfect. Just wish I had a good way to take stills off the video.

That one was 3.2. It's an old phone but I kep it and use it as a compact camera. All the pics I take are with that. I think my iphone is 7mp, but it isn't as good as the old Sony Ericsson.
