Is this why John has two dicks on cell phone cams when you know he has zero?

Cheap sensor + "slow" lens, basically. Cell phones don't capture an image like a traditional film or SLR camera that exposes the whole frame with a circular opening, they wipe across the lens like a scanner does. Low-end digitals do the same thing, but are considerably faster; a small amount of distortion will be much more visible on a small lens than big lens (which is why XX megapixels is useless on a cellphone, because it's still a massive image taken from a ****ty lens.

If you want to see the same effect, grab a flatbed scanner, start scanning and pull the object being scanned. In the case of the image above, that's one-handing a tall phone while going over a bump in a car with stiff coilovers, so you can see it goes up, then back down. Motion over the time of the exposure since it wiped from right to left instead of an instant "exposure."


That answer your question?

Not yet, apparently they don't like someone with 3 months job history at my current pay, a decent credit score but no enough credit history. Lame, I'm trying one more thing tomorrow, if not i'll just have to use some of the money down from my sti and snag it in a week or so
