Quick Poll: How Many Cameras Around You?

Posted on December 3, 2010 by Stephane Daury

I was thinking about how truly ubiquitous cameras have become in our lives. I can count six at arms length, while seating at my desk, and I’m far from being a photographer.

iMac, MacBook, iPhone (x2), Canon camera, Sanyo HD camera. How about you?

That’s a trick question. Does an embedded laptop webcam count? How about a smart phone? What about an old unattached USB webcam? If so… then.. 4!

  Yup, I counted mine in the intro paragraph. There’ll soon be one in the toaster, I’m sure. :)

Canon HV30, Nikon F100, iPhone 3Gs, Olympus 35SPn, Pentax Super Program, Flip SlideHD, Acer laptop’s webcam… probably forgetting some. If I were to count the household… that would be another story.

Only one near me, but if I got up and poked around…. :D

And if I counted all the *old* non-digital cameras? Yeah, my vote would change significantly. ;)
