My TouchPad Today: My TP at Fenway Park

I'm heading to Fenway Park in Boston with my TouchPad for the annual Futures at Fenway minor league double header.

Pictures from my two TP camera apps later...

(The Red Sox are away on the road in Kansas City.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up first, a picture taken with a Pre2 (with some minor fixing in Paint Shop Pro) of my TP at Fenway Park.

Up next, a series of pictures taken with the DigiCamera Lite app on my TP. 

(Only some minor rotation/alignment fixes in Paint Shop Pro... No other post-processing used.)

Photo detail is decent for a 1.3 MP camera.  Color, however, is lackluster/muted on what was a mostly sunny day with vibrant color.

Now, a final shot taken on the TP using the Camera app for the TouchPad.

This photo has the same lackluster/muted color as the shots taken with the DigiCamera Lite app.  The TP camera and/or the app also had a some difficulty with handling the difference between the shade of the grandstand and the bright sun on the playing field.

My TouchPad Today: First Impression - A Tale of Two Cameras?

Today I had the opportunity to try out two camera apps I downloaded recently from the HP app catalog for my TouchPad...

• Camera for TouchPad -- Keen Studios, 0.3.0
• DigiCamera Lite -- DigiKat Software, 1.0.1

Here are some quick test shots, respectively from each app...

Now, each picture cropped, but otherwise un-retouched, to make them as similar as possible...

Judge for yourself -- aside from my camerawork -- the quality of the camera/app combos.

For my part, not much to report yet, other than using a tablet computer front-facing camera for something other than a quick and dirty pic "in the field" when another type of camera isn't available, doesn't seem to be the wisest choice.

That's all for now... Hoping to test these apps a bit further over the upcoming weekend and post more after that.

My TouchPad Today: First Impression - Camera App

Downloaded the camera app from the HP catalog over the weekend...

First impression(s)

• Adequate. What can you really expect from a 1.x camera anyway?
• Will come in handy on those occasions when other cameras/devices with cameras are unavailable.
• Happy that developer will make some $$$... Doesn't exonerate/excuse HP for failing to include a camera app in TP originally!
