Im earning a lot here, i cut up a red shopping bag in little squares, and sell them to samsung owners who want to upgrade to iphone 5 camera. For only $4.99 i will install this piece of red plastic between the phone and the back cover, over the camera lense.

The result is marvelous, i call it "NORMAL", and it works even without a bright light, in other words its better than the original.

They even wrote an apology note about it. and SGS3 instead of a purple tint its a pink tint. The funny thing is no one accepts that.

                With all these defects being normal, it's almost like all the other phones that don't have widespread problems are the abnormal ones....

                    The problem IMHO is with the sapphire crystal lens cover, which should have an anti-reflective coat in both sides on it (as every good wrist watch have).

                          I took some picture of sun while observing an eclipse. I took those pictures before the eclipse so it was DIRECTLY towards a very very bright light. But i have to say those pictures were very very very nice. By % when compared to these iphone5 photos, i should say 98% better. And remember it was in January 2010 with my Samsung Jet, which was a 2009 model and has a 5MP camera.

                                    Camera Problem : Apple's solution to this problem is to not point the camera directly at a bright light source.

                                    Heat Problem : Apple's solution to this problem is to change the way you hold it.

                                    Scratch Problem : Apple's solution to this problem is to not use your iPhone ?!!

                                    long list....
