You can't use this to compare. Camera lens distort. Different camera lens distort different degree. If you are using the same camera, then you can compare if you know where the camera's focus is. All height are distorted outside of the camera focus.HotCarl said:okay, check this out

I am in the middle. I'm 5'8.5'' with my shoes off. The Asain guy to the right is 6'1". We are both in dress shoes with similar heels on level ground. Notice the height difference, and compare with this photo

Federer is listed everywhere as 6'1.25" so lets use him as the standard. everybody has dress shoes with similar heels except for roddick.
based on this, hewitt is much closer to my height than 5'11" and coria is not 5'9"
Moya isn't CLOOOOSE the 6'3'' he says he is. He's more like 6'1'.HotCarl said:![]()

So you're taller than your racquet, right? Ok jokes aside how short r u?cozmo5050 said::mrgreen:
just curious what the height pro's height is.
It could. The point is you don't know what lens each picture used. If you have taken photograph class, you'll know because they always put lens and exposure out. This is same principle in architecture, the focus point of the building is always taller than the rest even if they are same height.HotCarl said:It can't distort the height THAT much. Obviously the pictures are used as generalizations. you can't tell me that a camera pointed perpindicularly at people on level ground creates a distortion so great that general heights cannot be ascertained. there are no "fish eye" lenses in use here where that would obviously be the case.
