The turnaround from screen to home media has gotten short enough to where it’s fine to wait for a high quality version. Cams were good in the 80s when you bought the VHS tapes from some dude selling them out of a box down in the subway. Though the odds of brining home a blank were pretty good!
I’d rather wait for at least a 1080 webrip than to suffer through the cruddy audio and visuals of a cam. Heck, I don’t even like going to the theatre, why would I pretend to do that in 480p with early 2000’s cellphone audio?
The audio of a TS is captured with a direct connection to the sound source (often an FM microbroadcast provided for the hearing-impaired, or from a drive-in theater).
TS releases do have good audio. Cams in general have a lot of visual problems though; poor color accuracy, warping, incomplete frames, sometimes people moving around, things like that. Also pretty much every cam I’ve seen lately has been covered in ads for sketchy gambling sites throughout the entire runtime. None of this makes for a good viewing experience.
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cam with subtitles available.
I ended up using a cam for a movie from 2009 to check to see if the movie had differences between the theater version and the DVD release. It didn’t but it was neat that I could, 15 years later.
So I respect it, but also, good god will I never actually watch them for the actual movie itself.

I cannot fathom why anyone would want to subject themselves to such utter horror.

I’d rather wait, or pay to see it in a theatre. Every time.
Yeah, I’ve got this dilemma with Deadpool. Broke af but really want to see it.
Here you go…
Great job man, can’t wait to watch this with my wife tonight.
😂gonna be a fun night
Hero!
You are most welcome.
Hahahhahaahahaha!!! Best ever
That’s just a single repeating clip, here’s the full version.
XcQ, link stays blue
It’s a banger though
I feel bad because someone paid for a ticket and sat there filming for 90 minutes but I can’t stand them.
Yeah bad way to enjoy the film…
They look like crap, I won’t watch them.
Same and I have pretty much have no opinion outside of that.
All of them have really bad audio and as such, they’re completely useless.
Even TS releases?

Look for deadpool vs wolverine cam/TS v2 has subtitles and its actually a good cam. I didnt believe til I watched it
Not worth the storage space. I’ll wait for digital/physical release.
plus watching a movie in the theatre is always a nice experience.
If I want to see a movie so badly, I’d rather go to the cinema rather than watch a low-quality camrip.
Patience is a virtue
Eh, I’ll wait for a better version.
Like it doesn’t exist for me. Same for MD
Reminds me of the good ol’ days in the 90s. Watching cam recordings and people standing up or taking loudly the entire movie.
Haven’t watched a cam recording in decades. Don’t plan on doing that again.
