How often do you use the camera in your cell phone?

[f16sunshine]

I have been using my cell phone camera for a variety of projects. With the right application and imagery, I think they can work out very well. A couple can be seen here.

Both of those are great. I love the second!

Using my iPhone I tried some video on a recent trip to Big Bend/ Terlingua area, put it to some music...good trip! Check it out... http://youtu.be/hp13wKl49oo?hd=1

I also did one of the cemetery at Terlingua, short and to the point ... http://youtu.be/5fB7wCofaNw

Short answer is... not normally. But on a recent work trip to Puerto Rico, I decided not to bring my camera gear - then regretted it when I had an opportunity to wander the old city of San Juan. Used my iPhone 4 to take some great images, good enough to create a Blurb book.

Thanks Andy!

I use my iPad camera more often because it's a better camera and makes emailing the result very simple.

I use the mobile phone camera often, and more so recently since my M is seriously out of calibration.

I use mine a lot. I used it this afternoon to work with an art director scout an upcoming ad shoot. I have done two magazine articles with it and did a show of 9x9 prints, have a 30" x 30" from it on my wall at home.

My iPhone 5 is my favorite digital camera.

Phone is for calling or not?

I use my phone camera only if i need to send some pictures to someone or ask is that right or something. For photography I don't use it.

I use my iPhone 4 for note taking, and the occasional snap. One use is for my pets. I added the Camera + app that does such a good job for focus and editing.

I have taken maybe two or three on purpose...any others were strictly and totally done by accident...
And don't you just love it when some joker with a cell phone steps in front of you to get his shot...

Well, I've got to update this post of mine...
I have a newer phone with a better camera now than when I posted my first reply...
I have actually taken almost 1200 pictures with mine to date...I've used it to post here and on FB...I've taken pictures for ideas, reminders and for instructions...I find it now an interesting and useful tool...I also forget I have it at times which is fine...that just means it's not my "go to" camera...

I use mine all the time. It has a lens that is roughly 35mm focal length and I can shoot square format. It's a similar view to my Ricoh TLR. It's a great way to try something creative. I also use the light meter app sometimes which does a credible job and is handy once in awhile. Its the camera that is always with me.

My answer has changed since I originally voted.. I would choose 'all the time' now. My current phone's IQ is much better than my old one..

Well every now and then when I remember why I bought the phone.

 

[mfogiel]

Never. I even wanted to buy a cell phone without a camera, but they don't make them like that anymore...

I have to say that I have started to use mine much more since discovering the VSCO Cam app. I've since gone from hating using my phone to actually quite enjoying it!

The first, last and only time I used the camera in my cell phone was to take a series of photos of the inside of my pants pocket. I had always wondered what my wallet saw in there, and now I know.

My phone hasn't got a camera.
