@ShittyCameraChallenge @wir
Could we also add a rule to require alt text for the images posted? That's not only great for visually impaired people, but also important on the low end of the shitty spectrum, where you need every hint to make out the signal from the pixel porridge.
@ge0rg @ShittyCameraChallenge I'd definitely strongly encourage image descriptions, and those who can't write them could include a request to others to describe their pics.
@ShittyCameraChallenge “Any Lomography Camera” 
@ShittyCameraChallenge
Great Scott, Marty! 15 MEGApixels!
This means that suddenly most of my wifi enabled Samsung cameras qualify, and now I need to choose the really shitty one!
@ge0rg @ShittyCameraChallenge ... I think you should only be allowed to use that one directly in front of the 360° camera. 
@keithdevereux
Nice try! It's actually fully functional still, just out of its case, and the display has a few dark spots. https://chaos.social/@ge0rg/111607841706968106
@keithdevereux
And it's not even very shitty, although I tried! https://photog.social/@ge0rg/111516869429608704
@ShittyCameraChallenge well shit. Might be time to bust out the EPIC NINTENDO 3DS CAMERA
@ShittyCameraChallenge Commencing training program for the camera smashing robots.
@heather @ShittyCameraChallenge what's the hole for? 
@n3wjack @ShittyCameraChallenge One side has a spring lock so you could attach it to a strap. It’s camerabina-ish.
@ShittyCameraChallenge well, the battery ran out after 27 photos. Seems shitty to me. I’m going to let it charge overnight.
(I have a different, much shitier camera in mind but the Fuji falls into an interesting grey area)
@ShittyCameraChallenge I'm low key offended yet also pleased? Because my 10MP IXUS apparently qualifies, which means that I can participate... but it still takes good pictures, damnit!
@erica @ShittyCameraChallenge oh excellent - good to know since I was going to use my IXUS too 
@ShittyCameraChallenge Ooh, alternatively, would my Canon 400D (also 10MP) with a DIY lens made of another broken one qualify? The pictures would certainly be more noticeable different than those taken with the IXUS.
@ShittyCameraChallenge this reminds me of the charity shop in Terenure, Dublin, Ireland that had a shop window full of early 2000s point and shoot cameras. Meed to get back there ASAP!
@ShittyCameraChallenge@photog.social Lol so my DSLR has officially entered the shitty camera category. :D Gosh it has soon been 20 years since I got it, you've made me feel old.
@ShittyCameraChallenge You read that everyone? DEALT WITH!! And I'Z da one that doing da' "DEALTING WITH", kapeesh??
(Ps: Will totes spare you in trade of some Pizza & Dr. Pepper 
)
