Showing this picture to one of the ladies one hour ago, she wants to see more pictures! Anybody got more pictures from Sunshine Girl's farewell party last Tuesday night?

I managed to snap this rare moment with my Bontempi Megapix Fandango i-Watoozi. The Lamma ladies dragon bait team are never far from any party.

The Bontempi Megapix Fandango i-Watoozi has a "Dead-Eye Reduction" function, you might want to employ that next time.

That only works when the shutterspeed is set at Twelfty

I shot this in the Deli toliets using the Lesbos Action 500. Can anyone suggest the correct filter to use for shooting seedy toilet lesbian lust? I used a MILF filter but I'm not sure this was right here.

Wow, you've got the latest, brand-new, available-only-in-Japan Bontempi Megapix Fandango i-Watoozi already? Aweseome, man!

But I thought that the i-Watoozi is fully automatic, built into your eyeglasses and plugging via a USB 14.2 plug directly into your optical nerve, interfacing with your eye's electrical output and copying a photo of what you actually see into its Terabyte virtual RAM (or straight into your website's photo galleries) whenever you blink twice?

No camera settings gobbledygook needed anymore! So why the need for setting the shutterspeed manually to Twelftly? And why set to Twelftly? I thought it should be set to Thirthronically or even Quatriplonixly?

Manual camera settings are soooo 2004, from the digital camera stone-age, pre-direct nerve interfaces...
Where, where can I get a Bontempi Megapix Fandango i-Watoozi??? jump

eBay.

It seems that they became an endangered species last week when some poor soul discovered that when you blink four times it causes complete erasure of not only picture memory but all other memories as well. They can't figure out if it's a software bug or a design flaw in the human brain ... the guy who designed it can't remember a thing about it.

Guess you'll have to settle for the Lesbos Action 500, with or without the MILF filter. *sigh*

Ah, many amateur photographers make that mistake. Indeed the Bontempi Fandango Megapix i-Watouzi is fully automatic but when you're professional, you become an extension of the camera making the experience far more manual or dare I say it, organic.

In answer to Fortune's question, a filter may not be the answer but maybe an adjustment to the beef shutter exposure speed would make things a little sharper.

Pros and advanced amateurs often use vaseline.

Ah, I see from the latest press release on the www.Bontempi.xxx website, they've fixed the i-Watoozi bug already and announced the successor model "Bontempi Gigapix Fandango i-Bamboozler", just 2 weeks after the release of the i-Watoozi model!
This upgrade and new model cycles are surely getting shorter and shorter! Remember when new models came out once or twice a YEAR only?

Doesn't it just look soooo ultra-cool (see below)? Who cares about the cost and its features, I have to have it NOW!!!

It's surely not on eBay yet and as longtime member of the techno-elite tribes of camera-geeks, gadget-freaks, digerati-glitterati and prosumer-wannabes-&-wannahaves I can't wait for the official release date next week!

A "Bontempi Gigapix Fandango i-Bamboozler" .... already??

So do you mean the i-Watoozi ... http://news.com.com/Photos+Tech+of+tomorrow/2009-1041_3-5620505.html ... has been declared obsolete?

And to think it would also have made such a strong fashion statement, given enough time.

I've been told that K-Y has a better index of refraction.
