| With so many of us having fun in side challenges with cameras on our phones (I wonder if you could even use one in a regular challenge, but how would I get the exif data?) maybe that needs to be a category (ie: animals, candid, overlays, etc). I tried to list my Samsung Moment as a "camera" and of course it wouldn't let me. Maybe under cameras, there could just be a broad listing with "phone camera" and you could type in the one you used. :) |

| I asked SC to add mine to the equipment database and they were able to do it with no problem. HTC Dream (a.k.a. T-Mobile G1) I totally OWN that equipment page! |

Bumping this since we are building up a good collection of phone camera images in our side challenge.
Any chance of a gallery category? |

For my iPhone, the EXIF data is included with the image file right from the phone (including geotagging, unless I turn location sensing off). It is present if I use the phone like an external hard drive and copy the images right out of the phone's picture folder. But the EXIF data can be stripped away if I use some iPhone apps to edit in camera, and maybe if I email directly from the phone. This may differ from phone to phone, so experiment. Getting it to work may require reading the manual (if it even had a manual,) checking technical web sites, or calling technical support (if they don't charge).
Site crew has been prompt to add equipment, and there is now a "camera phone" gallery for us to post the full range of what can be done, so I would cast my vote for not lumping all the phone cameras together in the detail fields. Count of megapixels across various cameras already varies from 1 to 5 or so. Some manufacturers are even working on adding phone capabilities to their upcoming cameras. So the current "category" of camera phones-- presumed to be low resolution and without ability to adjust parameters -- may rapidly become an unfair container for all the variants.
Besides, you can get transient fame in the equipment section if your phone camera is new enough to only have a few submissions (example). |
