    The minutes were duly typed using MS Word and filed where Sally always files them - in the little icon that looks like a antique garbage can.

    Seeing as how we are now doing things all formal-like, Matt, please tender my apology as I will be unable to attend. I hereby give my proxy vote to Matt (Simplicity) to use as he sees fit in the matter of the phone camera status.

    Cheers

    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    I think the protemp chairman of the last meeting was under a misapprehension regarding cameras.

    All are cameras but only the modern ones can be used as a phone ability and has internet availability and other functions. Only the old fashioned ones are limited to taking pictures only and now belong in museums as past technology.

    Hence no debate is necessary.

    Peter.

    Peter, One could argue that phone ability, internet availabilty and other functions are distractions not attractions for a camera.

    Perhaps all phone camera members should come on over to the photoforum and show us what you can do - there is a mobile phone sub-category. While you are there you might like to try my latest challenge with you 'phone' camera.
    Ready for a challenge? - PhotoForums

    I suspect then we might agree that no debate is necessary Cameras will win hands down!!

    I don't think the value of still pictures is up for debate - more the means on how to capture them.
    My argument would be similar to that when talking about high end audio equipment.
    Sure I have spent too much on my stereo, but my ears are from my days as a DJ, young guy at concerts and power tools over the years to hear the difference between a $1000 system or a $10,000 system..... But I still like to drop the needle on vynal occasionally coz I think it sounds warmer (but buggered if I can actually hear a difference)

    Unfortunately I'm not able to come this Monday night.

    About a week ago I got the flue and at this stage I think I'm still in the contagious stage as I'm coughing, sneezing and splattering stage and I don't want to infect anyone else.

    My proxy goes to Matt in the debate on cameras.

    Peter.
