Throw your cameras ... but we didn’t say that!
Manufacturers of cameras, as always, are trying to come up with new ways to interest the buyer and sell him even more new products.
So , HP once again decided to play on the craving of photographers for unexpected pictures from unusual angles. The attempt to attract fans of “unconventional photos” is not new in itself; there are even separate cameras specially created for such use - for example, SatuGO , whose team is now in search of a manufacturer. SatuGO was specially created for shots taken from a throw or from a belt, but can also be used as a more familiar video or web-camera, although it is more resistant to outdoor work.
But, returning to HP - the company decided not to splurge on such trifles as impact or weather resistance - who needs it, right? - and issued simple recommendations on her website: “Throw your camera in the air - and take experimental pictures! Didn’t work right away? Throw it several times - and you’ll definitely get a photo that is not like any other! ”
Well, statistics on the number of users who followed the advice - and, accordingly, the growth in purchases of new cameras instead of those that weren’t caught - we’ll hardly see therefore it remains only to wish good luck to these desperate photographers.
PS: although, in fairness, it is worth noting - the recommendation did not hang on the HP website for long, and was soon removed. “Did you manage to quit something?” Sorry, we didn’t tell you that. ”
