Default <rant on>Why do so many people post such crappy photos on-line ?

Cell phones take such lousy pictures, why on earth do people use them ? I know they are convenient, but come on folks, please use a better camera !!!

I think I'll put on my flame protective suit right now...

&lt;/rant off&gt;

Default I presume the Fourtitude Imola RS4 collection post precipitated this?

It's because we are too damn excited about picking up the car. We rush out of the house without remembering to bring the camera along. I went to see my car no fewer than 4 occasions over the 5 days between them driving it off the truck and me driving off in it. I only remembered the camera the very last day. :-P

Default There's absolutely nothing wrong with my camera phone. I love the image quality!

Well, maybe there's a miniscule amount of distortion but it's hardly noticeable most of the time...

Nothing in particular prompted this. I just felt like "stirring the pot" a little to liven the day!

Default Because they don't care.

If they did, you'd see better pictures...more selfless posts...more honest discussion, and less whining and bickering about this or that issue...and lastly, less focus on any particular argumentative cheeseheads that might be stinking up the place. Indeed, this forum offers very little help, nevermind the pictures. As an example, check out the TT forum.

If the above does not describe you, I am not speaking of you...and thank you.

Hopefully, as the car becomes more popular, the people in numbers will drown out the social losers and actually provide usefull information and help.

A better camera does not make a better photographer

Default I've got more bad news for you

Even car manufacturing sites have crap images. Just go take a look at how hard it is to see a good image. Everything, even on Audi, and even Maserati, has tiny images. Maserati only offers a weency single image of their Quattroporte..

Laaaame!
