    It would have been 10000 times better just to use a DSLR then a iPhone of all camera's!!!!  I mean WOW!!! The iPhone must have a really good camera for a Advertiser doing a Ad campaign to just to use a iPhone from all the other many choices out there.  It really is pretty funny.

    Have you seen the "Shot on an iPhone" campaign? No need for an expensive DSLR when you have an iPhone 6.

    Plus they are getting free publicity for the phone on various sites including here.

     

    It actually smart on their part because they just want you to know that their phone exists.


     

    But they are implying that their own cameras are not good enough.

    Apple should post these on their "Shot on iPhone" advertising campaign! Hahaha! Priceless!

    This reminds me the fail a guy was trying to sell a chrome teapot on eBay and took the teapot photos in the nude. If only the HTC photographer had done that he could have had the first DOUBLE-fail.

    I was in New York recently and some one asked me to take photos for them using their Galaxy s5, being used to my ip6 I thought the camera would be similar! Well I couldn't belive how much lag there is between pressing the shutter icon and the photo actually took. I mean it was glacial, I'm mean is this really true is the s5 really that bad? For me it just validated how great the camera on the iPhone is! No wonder the s5 had terrible sales.

    After doing a bit of research it appears that it's not just its only problem

    It's not the camera that's bad but the software that runs it.

    Why did they use a smartphone in the first place instead of a professional camera and the appropriate setup? Are they that cheap?

    The iPhone 6 clearly has the best camera on a smart phone so can't argue with HTC's marketing team.
    True there, they seem to be to simple on there cameras.

    I just love these ooops. But keep in mind this is most likely an ad company who is doing this for HTC, not an HTC employee.

    However, you would expect that if HTC is contracting someone to do work for them they would require them to use their products.

    Grant it you would never see any apple product that Apple is promoting would use a competing product to market it to the public. Apple would not allow it.
    Or better yet, require not to use phone cameras.
    HTC's camera images are terrible because they use terrible processing software, so an iPhone (or Nokia) was the only real alternative.
    Or real camera...

    Right, uploading to Twitter from a gigantic dinosaur is just easy peasy. :rolleyes:
    It's a professional company isn't it?

    So true, I can tell you that.

    Guess they where in a rush.

    Oh geez if you're working for a multi thousand dollar company and up, There's no excuse to NOT be photographing and editing on good equipment.

    NO IT'S NOT HARD AT ALL and it's far from a dinosaur. By that logic, iPhone's camera is prehistoric.
