Is being 'gripped' a status symbol?

[Derrel]

I tell people I was once gripped by Salma Hayek--and they are impressed! It inflates my status quite a bit just to recall it.

I grip to compensate for a tiny weenie...

I grip to compensate for having large hands.

Does an autowinder on a film camera count?

Only if it has controls on it...... like a shutter release. Otherwise, it's the a clicky-whirly thing that makes a sound low-end camaras like to use to 'sound' professional.

I meant todays' low-end cams. Adding the click-whirr of an autowinder/motor drive to P&S's is purely a marketing gimmick. Heck, even smart phones do it.

what about being groped?

If you have a grip, you get one grope.

I don't use a grip. If I want to shoot portrait, I just lie down.

Mentioning your camera's grip is much like posting a signature with a list of what you own.
It's a bit ridiculous.

Actually, it's funny sometimes seeing awful photos from users here with TOP of the line equipment.
Just goes to show you, it means nothing if you can't use it to its potential.

Has anyone ever come across an app to hack the camera capabilities of the Android OS cameras? I think it would be a lot of fun to dial in some settings from an interface and get some extended shutter times to do some creative photos.

I guess some signature lists would be ridiculous to someone like that!

What's your point? It's a camera....

Oh, I get it... You're embarrassed because you have a long list of things you bought in your signature...
Sorry.

OK, guys

lighten up a bit.
Everybody has their idiosyncracies, let's not make enemies out of them.

No.. I am embarrassed that you consider a cell phone to be a camera!
