Drop your cameras ... but we didn't say that!
Manufacturers of cameras, as always, are trying to come up with new ways to interest the buyer and sell him even more of the newest products.
So HP once again decided to play on photographers for unexpected shots from unusual angles. In itself, an attempt to attract lovers of “unconventional photo” is not new, there are even separate cameras specifically created for such use - for example, SatuGO , whose team is now in search of a manufacturer. SatuGO was specially created for shots “from the throw” or “from the belt”, but it can also be used as a more familiar video or web-camera, although more resistant to outdoor work.
But, returning to HP - the company decided not to spend money on such trifles as shock or flight resistance - who needs it, right? - and issued simple recommendations on your website: “Throw your camera into the air - and take experimental pictures! Did not work right away? Throw a few times - and you just get a photo that does not look like any other! ”
Well, well, the statistics on the number of users who followed the advice - and, accordingly, the growth of purchases of new cameras to replace those that are not caught - we can hardly see it once, so all we can do is wish good luck to these desperate photographers.

PS: although, in fairness, it's worth noting - the recommendation hung on the HP website not for long, and was soon removed. “Did you manage to quit something?” Sorry, we didn't tell you that. ”
