Toy Story 3 Premier at Mid Valley (with pics taken with the HTC Desire!)

A whole bunch of us (bloggers) were invited for the “Meet & Greet the Toy Story Characters” session followed by a premier screening of the movie in Mid Valley Megamall today.

We were all wondering which characters exactly we were to meet…

..till we saw …

…..

Buzz & Woody!! :yahoo: All the way from Hong Kong too!

Woody & Buzz came on stage for a quick photography session with the crowd after some preliminary rounds of Q & A and games with the audience. The host for the event was funky, bubbly Azura from Disney.

The Disney host, Azura. She was a bundle of energy on stage! Guess it comes with the job! ;- )

All the images here are taken with the HTC Desire. I have been pretty amazed with the camera capabilities so far & it has instilled enough confidence in me to actually leave my Point & Shoot at home!

Since Monday, I have used the camera under numerous circumstances & lighting, and with the exception of clubs/pubs, the picture quality for normal objects photography deserved a special mention.

Below: Clear, crisp pictures. Please don’t be silly & tell me your DLSR/prosumer cams can take better pics. This is a HP cam ok!

I wouldn’t say I have used the camera to the best of it’s technical capabilities. I’m sure with further fooling around with the various options, I’m bound to discover more of it’s potential. Right now? I’m thrilled to that I got better pics to post on my blog! ;-)
I remembered that for this group photo below, the face recognition feature was activated and each of the individuals’ faces in the screen was “box-ed” into focus. Cool! :good:

Group shot! Such kiddos aren’t we? :yes:

Note: The group shot above is not by the HTC Desire cos I’m posing with it! ;-)

Camera specifications:

* 5 megapixel color camera
* Face detection capability
* Auto focus and flash
* Widescreen photo capture
* Geotagging

Average file size of image is 1.5 – 1.9 MB.

More technical comparison for the camera for Nexus One & HTC Desire on the next post. The above are just some pics to show of the Desire’s camera capabilities.

Hi Becky!

Perhaps a little editing would be nice on the pictures. Overall, not bad.

Oh yes! I didnt edit the pics as I wanted to showcase it as it is (taken frm the HTC Desire) but imagine if I edit the pics further.. could possibly turn out as good as a dLSR? :yes:

For point and shoot camera using ur HTC Desire turns out very clear and sharp. It’s very impressive! Tho the colour is a bit pale. (if you could edit the colours a bit, it would be perfect)

I guess this kinda photo quality is better than your digital camera I would say. ;-)

Camera looks good. Reckon it comes with zoom as well?

How about night shots with flash? Any auto focusing problem?

Zoom yes! Nx post coming up!

Night shots? I’m afraid it cant beat a DLSR. Auto focusing yes, only on small objects.

Shots are pretty good. Very crisp and good contrast. However the colors seem very washed out…but this can be fixed using the phone software. Next time set the color saturation higher :)

I attended a special screening for Toy Story 3. I went in with HIGH expectations. I LOVED the first two Toy Stories movies. Toy Story is a beloved franchise that almost everyone that I know loves the first two films. Now how about the 3rd film? Well all I could say is that it lived up to my unbelievably HIGH expectations and then some. This is such a good film. It has the laughs, magic and best of all the entertainment. The new characters in the movie feel like they were in the previous two films, they were that engaging and really worked well in the movie. I truly believe that this is one of the best Trilogy of all time. Number 1 is The Lord of the Rings. 10/10 Go Watch It

‘Toy Story 3′ is a better film than ‘Wall-E’ and ‘Up’ in that it succeeds completely in conventional terms.
