It had zero control (no aperture/shutter speed | settings and only crappy slow fixed focus) and took ages to | take a picture, meaning it was unusable for moving subject | photography. It was still better than other cameras of the time | which only achieved vga resolution. | egello wrote: | It looks like you can upload larger images and it does not crop | nor resize them. | mike_hock wrote: | > 640x480 | | Just like God told him it has to be. | Retr0id wrote: | The real instagram feels like it compresses images down to below | 640x480, so this is definitely an improvement. | jbverschoor wrote: | How is this anything like an instagram clone at any point in | time? | justsomehnguy wrote: | Complete with a top-down loading. | daniel_iversen wrote: | Funny little idea.
