Cell phone cameras

[richila]

I have a camera, but I tend to use my phone because I almost always have it. I was about to upgrade to this:

when I discovered this:

I ordered a wide angle/macro lens for better pictures of my tiny dolls and a gorillapod made for cell phones.

Richila, definitely let me know how it works out. I'm tempted to get one for my girlfriend.

Ok, that is just too cool!

These would be great for my sister. :)

I haven't figured out how to use the lenses properly yet. (added to the fact that the latest update changed the settings on my camera phone) But, I am loving the Gorillapod. A sample picture:

cute picture! I can't wait to hear more about the lenses though, I was thinking they would be a fun thing to get for my ipad.

I used to have something like that for my old phone years ago. It was a set of five I think, a macro lens and some kaleidoscope effects. Just cheap plastic and held on by a little sticker (they came with a few extra for when they inevitably lost their stickiness). The macro lense was the only useful one and, as I recall, the reason I bought them (since the camera zoom was so useless back then).

Oh thats great! I'm a "snap a pic with your phone" girl too. Just because I do not have the money to buy a new camera and my phone (samsung galaxy s2) has a very decent one. But just not with all the little thingies I would like it to have. Thinking about the poloriser and telephoto lens.. Not only for my dolls but also for my daughter (and the occasional son that has a day where he doesn't run away from mommie with camera.... teens... *sigh* )
