Some of you are familiar with my Zire71, or at least with the "Palm with a built-in camera" phenomenon. You might think, "say, I wonder how well those do at capturing an event compared to *real* digital cameras?".

To soothe your gnawing curiosity, here is a big set of grainy, blurry, washed-out pictures taken with my Zire71 over the heads of other patrons in a crowded pizza joint. To make sure the experience is fully savored, the index page has no thumbnails and was produced by me in five minutes using the built-in Windows "Edit".

Still curious? Didn't think so. You're welcome.

It's a dance event that mitrian performed in awhile back. I promised her I'd post them. I must still apologize for doing so. She's the one with the red scarves.

Hey, beats the pants off of nothing. I still lust after a Treo or something similar.

Yay, motion.

Nice demonstration of the CCD's "low light" performance:

Hi!

Yes, you're right, the quality of those pictures is appalling. But it's still better than nothing.

Wow. She might be cute if she had a face in those pics. Heh.

I have an extra digital camera. Maybe I should just give it to you.

I've got one also. I like it a lot. Yeah, the pics aren't going to win any awards, but they weren't meant to either. Just a "fun-cam" for those impromptu moments.

All of these aquarium pics were taken with Zire71
And so were all the pics I have on my textamerica page.

She is indeed. As another appreciator of papertygre, you'd probably think she was very cute indeed. There's at least a superficial similarity of appearance there.

I've actually got a decent one, it's just a pain to haul anywhere. I really like it, it's just not as portable as I'd like.

Yay for cuteness.

You probably wouldn't like my "extra" digital camera, then. It's kind of bulky. It is, in fact, about the size of one of those tear-off Far Side calendars that sits on a desk.
