I bought H a new camera the other week, it’s a Sony T700. It’s definitely the most girly camera I’ve ever seen in my life, but I was amazed at the picture quality and some of the functions so I’ve been using it more than anything else recently
One of the functions the camera has is the ability to recognise smiles, you press the smile detection button and it analyses the person being photographed and waits until the smilometer reaches a certain level before taking the photograph. It works most of the time (you have to strain a bit sometimes) but when it’s dark it’s a bit hit and miss and for one or two people it just wouldn’t work (despite them grinning until you could see their gums and their lips were about the split).
A selection of heartwarming smiles captured for eternity by the Sony T700
Also, if you’re photographing someone who’s not smiling there’s a function which contorts their face so it looks like their smiling, when used in moderation this can tastefully change the tone of a picture, see below.
But we’re not interested in doing things by halves, we go straight to maximum here at Dingle Speaks!!!

WOW that is so cool!!!!!!!!
I saw a very cute shanghainese girl owning that camera, guess you have lots in common
i also have a pink camera, guess we finally have something in common now
I also have a fur vest!
Genius ! Really made my day ! hahaha !
Dingle – I really wish you would have warned me you were going to publish these photos. I would have removed my glasses! I must say you look rather constipated on the first picture. Or perhaps you just didn’t make the “nest” comfy enough.
The last photo of “John” is the clear winner though. He’s gonna love that one!
Oh he doesn’t have time to read blogs Niai, he’s too busy managing his 2000 staff and earning his 3 million rmb per annum.
You might be right about the nests though, I’m a green nester, only using a single layer of tissues, it’s those Yankee girls who throw whole rolls of paper at the toilet every time they go
as always, woai smiles ever so discreetly so his dentures don’t fall out.
I love that Mao photo – that’s the one they should actually use.
Now if only we could get Lizzie 2 to cheer up a bit on the British tenner.
b – I daren’t smile at all to be honest, it’s all done by the camera. It turned that frown upside down!
It’s right that b, I’ve been for dinner with woai, he gets all his food blended and drinks it through a smoothie straw
I lost my teeth during my bare knuckle fighting days in Glasgow and if you guys don’t start behaving you might find yourself without teeth as well.
Doesn’t “John” have a fur vest too?
oh my goodness. I want a smile maker camera.
Come off at woai, you’ve never been further north of cambridge have you?
Swiss I think ‘john’ has more of an all in one fur romper suit.
Kristi, buy one immediately, they’re great!
am i the only one who finds some of the faces more like the “joker” faces from jack nicholson’s role in batman?
though the mao photo is good!
(i’m not going to comment about yanks and “our” use of TP for nesting. planet be damned if it means proper barrier or not!)
Woai – that smile….I think you should be in jail with that smile…there’s something menacing about it….in a sort of I wouldn’t let you near the school I work at kind of way haha
dingle, what do you think of my camera??

Oh shopgirl that’s sooooooo last year!
hehe- I think that camera is pretty mint.
Can you imagine having the T700 in black with gemstones in the shape of a skull?
Blinged up, iced out, off the hizzle.
Like this!

Swiss I’m sure you’ll show me exactly what it looks like when you buy yours!
Woai sent me the link to this post and I have to agree this is a brilliant selling feature of all of Sony’s crappy P&S cameras. Heck, that’s all the sales person knows to sell to someone who is only into the slickness of the camera not the quality of the photos you can take.
saw thi same camera costing 3500 sek here in swe, how much is it in china
Miss Jane, actually the picture quality of the camera is very impressive for a point and shoot, I was convinced it was going to be rubbish but it’s not at all!
Shoppers were picked it up for 2500rmb, is it on your christmas shopping list then?
2500!?!?!?!?!?!!? WOW, that’s 1000 rmb cheaper than sweden. considering the currency exchange is roughly the same.
aaah, i have my gorgeous camera already. but you did a good deal!
Oh you can never have too many cameras shopgirl!
