The only thing I'll bet on is that the world stays (relatively) safe from... anything remotely resembles the end.

On another topic, the new camera I got was so good...

Okay nice, what is the brand ?

It's the Sony Alpha NEX-5R, also my first real camera in both senses (a real camera compared to a smartphone and a real camera compared to most compact point-and-shoots), while still staying relatively compact. The large-as-heck APS-C sensor works wonders when it comes to image quality and depth-of-field.

(Yes, I only had camera phones before this.)

That's a really nice camera! I don't know what kind of camera, but I know it's pretty good quality and it's a nice shade of blue, which is all I really care about. =w= I have a smartphone too, but the camera on it is terrible. All my photos come out blurry, and I mean /all/ of them. ^^;

My iPad's camera is really poor, you'd think apple would chuck in a camera that would take advantage of the resolution possible on the iPad.

I didn't even know iPad's had cameras. I know a Blackberry Playbook does, and my Kindle doesn't, but I didn't know an iPad had one. Huh, you learn something new everyday.

Lol, yeah the iPad 2 has a crap one, iPad 3 is much better. But I'm sadly saddled with the iPad 2's crap one xD

Aw, that's too bad. xDD How much better is the iPad 3, then? I've never actually /seen/ an iPad before, but they look pretty cool.

My smartphone's camera, although technically OK, has a very serious problem with noise and dynamic range. Too much noise, even at ISO 100. The NEX-5R is like a godsend compared to the 900.

My smartphone camer is also crap, a my vacation photo's I took with it where all blur. But I don't really use a camera otherwise so
a real camera isn't really for me.

I don't have a cell phone atm, but I did have a Sony Ericsson Elm that had an older 5mp sensor, but was pretty damn good for what it was. Great low light pics and the TV wasn't a glaring mess. Totally planning to get an Xperia Z though, that thing camera should be great, finally gets a new exmor sensor from Sony.

I am also thinking about getting that phone, my current one has issues. But I it is kinda expensive if you ask me.

Sometimes it makes me wonder what if I could flash Android on my camera.

You could but you need to have an Android version that works on your camera, there are some phones
with Android on it though.

I'm doing absolutely wonderfully! I'm in a wonderful mood and all my friends seem okay, which just makes it better. Oh, sounds like you've had fun! :B

I doubt I'd want to run Android on a camera, though - they tend to have very nasty boot times. I'd rather have limited app functionality but 3 seconds to boot.

Yeah but the manufactures don't have to invent the wheal again for making sync over wifi or stuff like that.
