[Timmy!]

Here is what I ordered today. Once I get it I will post pics... normally I would no post a pic of something like this but I feel an obligation to show Nobody how good Apple products work

There's iphone or there's ireality. (ireality typically has a 28-200mm lens and is made by Cannon or Nikon)

Here's are weekend photo examples of ireality.

Compare for yourself. Iphoney vs Ireality

A phone is a phone, everything else is just an exaggeration and manipulative marketing strategy to make you think you have Ireality.

Do your boat guest a favor and keep the iphoney in the glove compartment until it rings, then pull it out and say, "hello, Ireality, is that you?"

Riveting tale 'ol Chap! Please tell it again with more loathing!























and maybe a video instead of stills so we can compare apples to apples? Ha, no pun intended but it was damn funny!

Perhaps you mean detestation?

If only I could see the faces of those cute little peeps on the raft, then I would have oneness with nothingness.

Hey, remember that time you lost $20 to me for a political election bet? I figured you'd actually love Apple products... Oh well.

I do agree with Nobody, I was disappointed in the picture quality of the video and that I could not see their faces. My 4 year old got up on skis (trainer skis) today for the first time and she was so proud of herself, I wish I would have seen her expressions on video. It is too bad because the mount was $33 and so easy to use... so the next question would be what camera would provide the video quality that would capture the facial expressions?

My brother has a brand new iPhone 4GS and his video is crystal clear! My 4G is about 2 years old and my video sucks! All has to do with how clean your lense is in my opinion.
I agree your video isn't the best, but I don't blame "Apple" for that. I blame your care of the camera lense, same as myself.

I will say though, I bought this in hopes of a great "boat camera"

It's a GE DV1-LG waterproof HD video camera



And here is a video example using that camera I found on YT:

Here's a vid from yesterday of Jake knee surfing on a boogie board. He had lots of fun and was smiling bigtime most of the ride but its tough to see the face. We used the new Gopro HD2 and its alot easier to use than prior model but we just got the cam and sorting it out. Sue used a 5 foot extender pole but was not out all the way so Jake could have been closer. Also the camera angle shoots alot of sky which might be improved by aiming lower. We had a real bad lens fogging problem early in the day and used anti-fog juice (dive mask stuff) and that worked great. As the boat turns around we get sun behind him which leaves his face in shadow then flips around and thats a tricky thing when driving because as the driver I'm not thinking about lighting angle cuz i'm busy driving and coaching. the bad thing about gopros are no zoom lens and no viewfinder so u can't see what's shot real time plus super wide angle but that can be adjusted and will try that. gopros don't work well on things more than 20-25 feet way because of their design so that tube ride would be a flyspeck. The HD2 supports the wifi backpac to allow remote control and remote streaming but they have BADLY delayed shipping (those scums). There is a LCD backpac for viewing but holding off. Also gonna mount the gopro on suction cup on back of boat and want to try a 12-15 foot pole above and off the side of the rider this summer. This week plan to try the Canon T2 for vid but thats whole nother deal to play with although Sue has lots more time on the Canon from baseball. hope this helps.

Mine is the 4s... it has been in a protective sleeve for the few months I have had it and this was shot from the front camera... it could be a care issue... I will try to shoot from the back camera today... maybe that will make a difference?? do you have your own actual footage of the camera you bought for the boat?
