SGSIII Camera: Capable of Capturing a Speeding Bullet? YES! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I snapped this yesterday at the range, and as a fluke, it happened to capture the speeding bullet. I would not have thought this possible on a phone camera. This is a Ruger SR9c (9mm), 115 grain bullet traveling somewhere around 1100 feet per second, I think. I don't take many pictures so this is stock app with stock settings. Cheers.

That's pretty cool

That's so awesome!

Someone's aim was a little off...looks low...lol.
Nice shot!

That was amazing did you do burst or a single picture

Single shot only, don't even know how to use burst.
This is our first time shooting a pistol, we like shotguns =)

We liked it, but like I said, it was our first time shooting a pistol. The extended magazine was uncomfortable though.
NOTE: I'm being told this may just be burning gun powder, let the experts decide..

It's burning gun powder. It's not flying forwards, but at an angle away. It's muzzle flash. Considering you can see the weapon in three stages of recoil in the image, note three images of the gun, at that range by the time that happened at this picture was taken, the bullet had already came to a halt inside the target.
I estimate that target is about 30 feet away, with your rounds, that bullet was reaching the target in about 0.027 seconds. Far, far faster then the shutter on our device.

Even so it is still a pretty cool shot (no pun).

It's burning powder because you can see the lit up other specs of it in various other directions. Unless you're shooting tracers or you have a kicka$$ high speed cam setup, you're not going to get the bullet.
However, that being said, it doesn't take away from the fact that it's still a cool action shot that did capture the burning powder and all.
Now do the same with the shotgun!

Yes the shotgun would be even better

Open the box and take a picture of the box opened. It is a little strange that you posted a picture of a phone box to prove you had it.
You don't have to prove it to me. I'm just not going to believe you without proof.
If you do actually have it can you post some pictures of the phone for us? I know you have friends with camera or a camera/webcam somewhere in your house.
I will post pics of me using it when my girlfriend get home but the picture of the box open here it is, I have no reason to lie.

Merged another thread into this one that had been created 3 hours AFTER this one.
White Epic in Hand
I have had the white one since New Years Eve. Went to Best Buy to replace my 3 year old Blackberry Curve & the guy asked if I would rather have the white one. They tried to ring it up on 4 different registers but couldn't get it to scan. 15 minutes after they were suppose to close, they finally scanned a black one just to get me out the door.
I realized why it had been such an issue after I read the Jan 8th release date online.
Anyhow, loving moving up to this phone after the Berry.

Too good to be true? We'll see.

So I have a plan to water-proof my GS3 with ZERO bulk (okay maybe like 1%)
I'm sure if you've Googled anything having to do with waterproofing your GS3, you've seen this: http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1010&ProductType=320
In theory, it seems like a great idea. Until you realize that you have no way to charge your phone or plug in earbuds.
A couple weeks after I saw that product, I came across this article: http://m.webosnation.com/galaxy-s3-gets-cleanest-touchstone-mod-yet
Now if you see where I'm going with this, you're probably thinking "Well that solves the charging problem, but what about the headphone jack?"
After about 10 minutes of research I found this: http://www.jabra.com/products/bluetooth/jabra_clipper/jabra_clipper
Unfortunately this blows the $80 budget of a waterproof case.
So instead, I just found a refurbished pair of blue tooth headphones for $35 on ebay. (I bought these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004B...edirect=true&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&tag=chescifi-20)
So the idea is to combine these products (Jabra clipper is optional) and have a waterproofed phone. Is this idea too good to be true? I have ordered all of the items. I will post a video showing my results when I have received the items.

Although it says that it isn't meant to be permanent, it implies that that is only because it does not allow charging. Either way, I've bought the items. My point of view is that if the waterproofing isn't successful, at least I have some badass accessories now right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It says reusable. That means they intend you take it off sometime. The 5 sealing tapes are probably for wear and tear leaks but maybe they could be used for "panels" to cover those holes but I really think this is a temporary skin for if you're going out in a wet environment.
hows it working for you?
So far, the "case" itself is literally the only part of this experiment that has not shipped yet. Please be patient for a video on my results. I'm going to try to go as long as I can with one package worth of material. I'd say I can make it last 1-2 months. I don't plan on much submersion except maybe for a quick test.

The idea seems great, but it would worry me a bit. Not to mention the fact that devices that were not built to be waterproof can get water trapped in non air tight areas. At CES they had a liquipelled Tab 2 that got water trapped between the glass and the display. Not fun. This technology is used more for accidental exposure to moisture.

He says he can take pics underwater and still say that you think it's not a good idea bc a tablet(that isn't built like a phone) got water under the screen... That means tablet wasn't sealed properly no?

Ugh. I have not made a video for this to this day. This is a dead thread and I apologize. My plan worked to an extent. It stayed waterproof and charged normally, but was cumbersome to use because of the odd shrink-wrap feel of the case.

With the battery cover wrapping slightly around back it helps with side grip so no need to do the sides. Plus I didn't wanna cover the brushed metal plastic trim.

Common sense would say if you're going to do this, you should take a fine grain sandpaper and lightly go over the entire back before you plasti dip it. If it's like any other synthetic dip, it will adhere 10x's better over time, if it has some texture to grab onto...
Unless it chemically fuses to the hyperglazed surface...it will eventually start to peel...one would think.
Well I did the same to my Gnex and the plastidip came off from the edges after a few days.
Then went ahead a did a full paint job :0

Oh yeah of course it would make it stay much longer i agree, but the point of using plastidip is that it doesnt affect the surface your putting it on AT ALL. And that it is easily removable and cheap....comes off? Reapply.

This! I did it with the intention of removing it later once I find the right case that I like. I had left over plasti dip so it didn't cost me anything. But tbh I think I really like it and might make it permanent . Probably gonna throw on clear on top to make it more durable.
