Seems that a new guerrilla campaign by Olympus in Australia is talking shit about the “rubbish” photos from your camera phone.
“If you’re camera also sends text messages, that will explain why your photos are rubbish.”
Plaques in select Aussie cities bearing the above slogan have been pasted to the street and other urban environs, with the url GetARealCamera.com linking to Olympus. Personally, the message bugs me, but it’s pretty damn clever — made me look twice and type in the url. …
[thx @MarkMImage for the tip & sending in that image!]
hmmm I seem to have the opposite problem. photos are fine but my sepleling in textted messiges is rubbish
I’d rather take a photo with my iPhone than with a crappy Olympus camera that breaks after a year of having it…
Dude, its Olympus talking…I hate to say it but I find it difficult taking them serious. If this comment came from Canon or Nikon then I’d be worried but its Olympus talking. I just laugh and keep taking photos with my phone. Someone once told me that I have much better photos from my iPhone photo library than those taken with my dslr. The camera doesnt matter. Its only the person holding it that does…
Olympus? Do we know an Olympus?
lol
lol
Don’t kid yourselfs, its probably not even their opinion on POV, its somewhere in marketing, thought it would be catchy and get people to type in the URL, end of story.
It worked didn’t it 😛
