“1895: A woman holds an early Kodak camera which was sold with the film already loaded. The entire camera was returned to the factory for film processing”
Via The Guardian.

This is still a popular pose for photos of top-viewfinder cameras. I like that she’s carrying a second camera, too.

quote 03:52:00
“ I’ll be the first to admit that the camera in the iPhone 3G was passable at best. That still did not keep me from making the most of it before something better came along. That something, the camera in the iPhone 4, I dare say can match or best many of the compact digital cameras on the market. ”

Patrick Rhone at Minimal Mac, in part of a complaint about the iPhone SLR lens mount.

I’m also puzzled by it (since for $200 or so you can buy an old DSLR, or a good chunk of a new one, and it’ll have a better sensor, and be no less portable), but that commentary also pretty much explains why I don’t apply filters to my iPhone photographs, and probably never will- the camera is good enough.

Google Art Project: Behind the Scenes at the Tate’s blog (via Robin Ray):
The version of Street View technology used in the galleries involved an extremely high tech and rather silly-looking trolley. It was to be pushed around the rooms at a particular speed and on a peculiar route, and seemed to me to be a marvellous combination of garden-shed and cutting-edge.

Before and after shots from Lisa Bettany’s write-up of how the “highly saturated” picture of the rainbow over the Bay Bridge that’s “taking a few leniences with reality” was processed.
Or: “a masterclass into how to gussy up your photo for Explore”.

An advert for the Olympus Trip 35 (Wikipedia, Camerapedia, Ken Rockwell). I recently bought one of these at the flea market in Mauerpark (probably paying slightly over the odds) and having run a film through it, it’s working pretty well. Uploads to Flickr soon.

“Like most Nikons, the iPhone 4 tends toward slight over-exposure and over-saturation. Picky pros might find it objectionable, as sometimes highlights or large areas of bright colors lose all detail, but this type of rendering is what an average consumer would say really ‘pops.’” 
Jacqui Cheng and Chris Foresman, in iPhone 4: the Ars Technica review.
