BlackBerry Z10's camera

Well, I have been taking the subway to go to work over the last two weeks, ever since the parking lot I used to park decided to hike up their fees.  It already did not make much sense for me to drive into work over the last couple of years but because the parking lot was a lot cheaper than many others, I decided for convenience sake to drive the 30km everyday.

Anyhow, since I have been taking the subway, I had more opportunities to use my BlackBerry Z10 and its crappy camera.  I have to say crappy since I have yet to see any photo with good IQ.  The best so far could be this photo here:

New Toronto TTC Subway Cars.
Here I was standing still while taking this photo.  Colour reproduction is not bad.  I thought it was sharp at first.  It looked quite fine on the small screen of the Z10 but displayed on a notebook screen, it was clear my hands were shaking.  I had taken some other photos inside a subway car while it was moving and I wish BlackBerry invested in some vibration reduction technology in the Z10 camera!

Well, the best camera is the one you have with you.  So, the best camera was my Z10, but that won't stop me from complaining about it. :-)

Invasion of What?

What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.
