Thought I'd put this one to the masses:

Does the camera add 10 lbs?

hmm..i feel that's false.

In my opinion, I'd say it's true. Not all of the time, but some pictures just turn out unflattering in that way. I know I've been in a few photos like that.

That really depends on the camera's diet/lifestyle.

Hmmm thanks guys.
From what I've read about 65% of photographers seem to feel its true (that's my estimation from what I've read). It seems to depend on the lens used. Wide angle lenses = more flattering. Also, the transfering of an image from 3D to 2D creates the illusion of objects appearing larger...also the angle, lighting etc. Apparently HP is coming out with a camera that is supposed to make people look 10-20lbs lighter! Hah.

Incidentally, if this technology is ever used on Nicole Richie, there is a good chance that she will cease to exist.
