U can do that with other phones if u need,but with customisation u may get better pics than without customisation.
That's why people like me try to customise and end up with crappy pictures. The default settings are pretty much useless anyway, so customisation is not optional—it's a prerequisite for taking good photos on these phones.
You guys just don't get the Apple philosophy. Customisation is exactly what the company tries to avoid in its products, because while 20% of the users might get better results with all sorts of tweaks and stuff, 80% of them just ruin the thing. Apple strives to make it as easy as possible for the 80%. And you might not appreciate it, but the fact is that Apple's products do a better job at what they do because of this philosophy.
The iPhone doesn't do some things: video recording, 3G and whatnot. But the things it does, it does better than most (if not all) others. It let's you surf the Internet like no other phone does, it lets you actually use email on the phone like it's supposed to be used, it plays your music and videos well enough that you'll actually use it often, it works just swell as a phone and it takes good pictures. Maybe not the best of the bunch, but it doesn't do a poor job. And it lets you do it at the click of a button.
That's all I want from my gadgets. They should just work. Call me a fanboy if you will, but I'm fully acclimatised to Apple's philosophy and have no problem with my phone not being able to do with a 6600 can do. I knew what it doesn't do when I bought it. I'm more concerned with the fact that what my phone does do, it does better than any other phone out there. That's all I need.
Having a xenon flash doesnt dramatically decrease battery life unless u r taking loots of photos without lights.My k 810 i is thin (thinner than k 800 & k 790) & has a pretty good battery life too.
Yeah, that's because it does not have a lot of the things the iPhone has, the most primary of which is the screen. Like I said, I think that things like the screen are far more important on a mobile phone than a flash. You've got to prioritise and compromise everywhere. No product has everything you want. You just have to choose the product that has the right priorities and does the right compromises according to your needs. If a camera is an important feature of a mobile phone, maybe the iPhone isn't for you. I needed a phone that I can watch videos, surf the Internet and check my email on and the iPhone, according to me, best suits my needs. Your mileage may vary.
dude, goobi himself on his blog has more often than not said that the iphone cam is useless
