Guess the camera!

[moribundman]

Since the interest in camera brands and models is so great, I would expect many of you to be able to tell me what equipment I used to take this snapshot of my Venus flytrap. Please note the nasty compression artifacts and color fringing typical of consumer grade point&shoot cameras.

Those are cool plants.

$13 Miley Cyrus all-in-one at Wal-Mart? I have that one too.

I actually have a video of it. I touched the trigger hairs with a toothpick and the plant clamped down. Maybe I'll upload it.

No EXIF data? Those blinds are actually an interesting optical illusion... or they are at least messing with my head if I stare at them. Does the plant like McNuggets?

I started stripping the EXIF data from all images a couple years ago when people kept asking the one question I didn't care to hear. My flytrap has never caught a bug.

It's square, you must be using a Hasselblad! or maybe a Zenit? Ricoh R8?

Looks like GIMP or Irfanview instead of Photoshop. The camera is more difficult. Is it one of these?

I'll be in Pismo Beach for a few days, so may not see your answer for a while

Uh, I often crop.

I always use Photoshop. I haven't touched Gimp in a couple years. The image was saved "for Web" (which strips EXIF data), which results in compression suitable for Web use.

We can't have that! I used this Chinese $10 dongle to take the Venus flytrap picture: But what camera did I use to shoot the dongle? Here, for your amusement: Camera: Fuji Finepix S9000 Sensor: 1/1.6" Type CCD, 9.2 million pixels

I thought for sure you were shooting a digital back Mamiya! Do you usually shoot with the Fuji? You know if you used a Nik...j/k

 

[Julian]

Wait, so are you trying to make a point or something? ( )

 

[eljefino]

Guess the camera.

Nokia brick camera phone

 

[Papa Bear]

What camera did you use to take a pic of the camera ?? ....

 

[Pop_Rivit]

Given adequate functionality, there is no correlation between the tool and the result. What hammer do you use for pounding a nail into a wall? What's the point in asking what equipment was used? You are looking at tiny 96 dpi images!

 

[Papa Bear]

Yes, but outstanding functionality begs the question.....
