B/c it's a 2-dimensional image that's flattened out your reflection in the camera lense.... hence making it appear somewhat "wider".

If it is true that the camera adds 10 lbs, how come there are so many painfully thin girls in the media, I have seen more meat on a butchers apron.

Honestly, when's the last time you looked in someone in an old family video and though "they look ten pounds heavier"? I can't remember. There may be a bit of that whole 2-dimensional flattening, but mostly, I think people say it out of vanity. If we can blame the camera for our looks then we don't have to feel so bad!

No, DOOKIE is right. It is the 3-D person being flattened into a 2-D screen. This is why, it is an average strech that is like adding 10 lbs.

Have you tried stepping on a balance carrying one of those movie cameras?
