Cellphones and Selfie Cameras Login/Join

I'm beginning to shop for a new cellphone and have been watching reviews and reading specs. Apparently the 'Selfie Camera' is a big deal when it comes to people deciding what cellphone to buy. Who knew? As such, I thought it might be fun to get a bit of feedback from the membership.

Question:
Soooooooooooo, how many total 'selfies' have you taken during the time you've owned a cellphone?

Choices:
1 to 10
11 to 50
51 to 100
100+
Too many to count
I've never taken a selfie

I travel a lot for work, usually alone. I often get a chance to slip away and see some neat places. I realized a number of years ago that I had lot of pictures of cool places but wasn't in any of them. So I started taking selfies to more or less document that I'd been there.

I don't have a smart phone, so can't take a "selfie" by the usual definition. My flip phone does have a camera but I don't use it. To be fair, on trips and tours I do occasionally ask someone else to get a photo of me at an attraction with my DSLR, but not very often. (I consider the fact that I have photos of the attraction to be sufficient proof that I was there.)

iPhone categorizes ‘selfies’ into their own folder on the phone — under “albums”.

So it does the math for you and I have an exact count — I have 961 selfies in this folder, dating back to 2012.

99.9% of these are me taking “selfies” with my wife and/or kids, though. And in looking at it, it appears that every time we do it we take the picture like 6 times so .. yea, a lot of excess photos in there.

I don’t really have a need to take a picture of just myself though.

But I would agree ... this camera is important.

Since most people I know are already aware of my striking beauty, I take few selfies.

I can honestly say a selfie cam is not high on my priority list given I've taken exactly one selfie in my entire life. And of course it was with one of my favorite people. Smile My perpetual co-pilot.

I have never taken a selfie, it’s bad enough others have to look at me but I’m not forcing myself to look at me any more than I have to.

I don't believe anyone who voted that he's never taken a picture of himself, except maybe flashguy.

What a stupid word by the way.

Sent one or two to my wife. Got a couple of selfies while on SIGforum. My cats like to hop up on my shoulders when I'm on the computer and watch.

You look just like I imagined that you would.

Better believe it. Not one single time did I hold a phone to include myself in a photo.

I have friends who find that amusing.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

One. I needed a pic of myself to submit with my CCDW renewal and nobody else was home at the time to take it for me.

I've used the camera in that fashion to take pictures inside of a wall through a hole in the drywall.

AFAIK, I've never taken a selfie. I also don't try to take "artistic" photos with the phone camera. More utility. I send lots of picture of Home Depot items to a contractor to show him what to buy.
