The world has the same percentage of stupid people in it as it always has had.

Potato cameras certainly have a peal.

They let one ketchup on photography.

But I'm afraid my potato camera is fried.

How can I check the spudder count of it?

Whoa...but is that why all the pics have a russet tint?

And here I thought this thread was going to involve a detailed review of an actual camera made from a potato!

Indeed! And the camera takes pictures in good taste by setting it to "Mmmmm" mode.

I know what's a potato camera, but what's a professional camera?

Modern cameras have autofocus and low light adjustment. So why is it that all photos and videos of UFO's, Loch Ness & Sasquatch are out of focus and grainy?
