iPhone + Rolling Shutter Distortion

Hình ảnh
iPhone distort , originally uploaded by mathowie . In case anyone was wondering, it does appear that the iPhone suffers from the same flaws (or advantages depending on your perspective) as the rest of the camera-phones that exhibit rolling shutter distortions via their shutterless CMOS technology. This example is actually really neat in that the camera was not moving at all. Instead the rapid rotation of the propeller was captured in different orientations as the "scan" of the sensor proceeded over time. Thanks mathowie for the great example of the effect. Disclaimer: By posting this here I am not recommending ANYONE throw their iPhone . Considering the cost of the device, that is just absurd! Plus they look really slick and hard to catch. ;-)

Camera tossing specific product review. camera reviews listing Konika Minolta Dimage XG by mappamundi Links specs on dpreview.com examples on pbase.com review on steves-digicams.com A compact mini-slab of a camera with a very solid look & feel to it. Fits easily into a pocket & the palm of a hand & seems just the right weight for tossing & catching. There's a reaassuring weightiness to it every time it lands safely back in my hands. The lens & zoom mechanism are built into the body with a automatic sliding recessed lens cover so other than control buttons & program select knob there are no protuberances, a big plus when applying spin. The hinged cover to the battery/card compartment requires a good solid press with the thumb before it flips open & when clicked shut it stays that way with no play or looseness. Of course I can't vouch for how crash-proof it might be but it has resisted minor bumps & I imagine that the small 4cm LCD & recessed ...

Camera tossing specific product review. camera reviews listing Sony Cybershot DSC-P51 by mollieollieollie Links specs on dpreview.com examples on pbase.com (DSC-P52 Model) Pros: *Fixed lens (no moving parts) so no bumping problems *Difficult to switch off accidentally *Off-center lens *Cheap *Up to 2 second exposure on night mode *Manual focus settings allow you to trick the camera into a long exposure by holding it to your hand *Easy to catch Cons: *Hitting "OK" is difficult, especially for deleting *Shutter sticks (open or closed sometimes) *I've heard it is common for the LCD to break (go black), although mine hasn't *Shuts down sometimes before saving the picture, usually only when the battery is starting to run down *Weird colors sometimes regardless of white balance, although I haven't experienced anything weird with night tosses *Somewhat largeish (although its build is a large part of what makes it so easy to catch) camera reviews listing

Camera tossing specific product review. camera reviews listing Olympus Stylus 410 Digital by TaGurit(SS/NB) ><> Links specs on dpreview examples on pbase.com I use the Olympus Stylus 410 . Review on dpreview.com Not the most up-to-date Olympus Stylus model - that one is the 800 I believe... but anyways here's my review. :) General Impression A great little digital point-n-shoot, with lots of features, a compact size, durability, 4mp with 3x optical (4x dig.) zoom and 10 different shooting modes (along with other options for different conditions.) For Camera-Tossing it works because : 1) Very compact . Small size and lightweight, so it can fit in anyone's hand and is easy to toss as high as you want. Plus, you can get a great spin going on it, too. Really easy to catch due to it's size, shape, and weight. Plus, it fits in your pocket or purse, so it's extremely portable - you can take it and toss it anywhere! ;) 2) Durable construction . I've dropped it a c...
