I have the A-1. Looking at it, I would have only needed it for exposures longer than 30 seconds. (I haven't used that camera since I got my first digital camera. It now only serves as a hoarder detector, and idle battery longevity tester.)Asymptotic said:That release looks identical to the one I had for my Canon AE-1. Went back to using the built-in timer after it turned out the cable release introduced enough 'shudder to the shutter' to effect sharpness at moderately slow shutter speeds. :)
Fellow humans? I have photos of EVERYONE in group gatherings, ALL looking at their smartphones.anorlunda said:188. Wives [Should we say husbands too? ]
anorlunda said:That's all very true, but all three are already on the list, including the tricorder.
berkeman said:Rhut-Rho! @Evo has a killer laser now? We are doomed. Remember what happened when she was using that chainsaw in the back of her pickup truck? That was not pretty...![]()
Yeah, from those thread titles, you can start to get an idea of why we should be worried if @Evo now has her hands on a killer laser...OmCheeto said:Odd. I have no recollection of "chainsaws" and "Evo". All I remember is the "bubblewrap".
A quick pfoogle brings up 21 unique threads where "chainsaw" and "Evo" are mentioned:

What Do Smart Phones (Partially) Replace?
What does the + next to my name mean?
Not sure how I could have missed that.
hmmm...
Yay!anorlunda said:...
We reached our arbitrary goal of 200.![]()
Remember, the question is not what smart phones do but what do they replace wholly or partially. 146-156 are a good example of darkroom claptrap that we don't need with digital photos.

84. laser rangefinder is available: https://www.ryobitools.com/phoneworks/laser-distance-measure/Redbelly98 said:we're looking for actual apps that already exist, right?

Same as the scale... the reviews were terrible but in a pinch it would serve the purpose if accuracy wasn't the highest priority.GhostLoveScore said:Otherwise it's just for fun.
Old post, but the thread popped back up; I've actually used a spectrum analyzer app a couple of times at work to identify target frequencies and locations for sound attenuation.GhostLoveScore said:I was wondering how many items would be on the list if we took into consideration how good smartphone is at doing these things, for example, I saw "spectrum analyzer" on the list, but I bet it's not nearly as capable as the cheapest spectrum analyzer. Yes, it has that function, but it's of no use if you can't reliably use it. Otherwise it's just for fun.

Ok. Then a 'drone phone' would be better ...jedishrfu said:@Stavros Kiri my post was a humorous response about features missing from today's cell phone. I imagined a phone of the future which was truly mobile and would come to the owner or follow them around.
Perhaps I should have used "real" instead of real.

That requires access codes (?)jedishrfu said:A spy satellite or aerial archeologist via google maps app.

It won't be live
Also, how about ISS and NASA apps ...
But in that sense these apps are already there (via Google maps and Street view). There's also live camera apps and sites, for selected cameras and locations around the globe, accessible with your phone (or computer).jedishrfu said:Nobody said it has to be live. Google maps sometimes shows some embarrassing stuff that doesn’t blurred out. And the same goes for street view
The photos come from satellites and are released to the public and presented to us by google.

But only for public accessed areas.
