Just thought I would share some pictures taken the Playbook camera.

I thought there was a more generic pic thread. But I created a pic thread for "what you did this weekend" following a trend started by another member a while back.

Hey Hawkeberry, thx for your "like", and in response to your question, all 4 of the photos I posted were taken with the PB camera, no editing was done. They were not taken as a screenshot by pressing the vol +/- buttons.

Here are a few that I have taken using the PB camera. A few outdoors and one os several taken at a the last game of last season's Vancouver Whitecaps game at BC Place stadium.

I followed my brother who was taking photos with his DSLR. Since I had time and a playbook on my hands, I decided to have some fun.

Random question, I know the camera doesn't have autofocus - is that hardware or software related? I guess, do you think it may be added in OS 2? Or is it the camera itself would have to be different?

Focusing is a hardware thing using lens optics and such so I doubt there can be a software update for it. However, the data-processing for the camera can be properly enhanced to produce better quality pics I hope.
