MartyNearDFW — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:50:17 +0000

A post from The Online Photographer about things that made the old Leica M6 camera so successful. Much of what he writes about the old Leicas can also be applied to shooting with an iPhone.

MartyNearDFW — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:22:14 +0000

The 1.6 update for ClearCam was released a few days earlier than expected. Because many of its new features are iOS 4.1 only, the app is on sale for $0.99 until the iPhone iOS 4.1 update is released.

Review: “Real Camera+” is a really bad app

MartyNearDFW — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:32:39 +0000

This "Real Camera+" is not a camera replacement app at all, but a sub-par image editor hoping to cash in on name confusion and the absence of the other, far superior photo app. I dropped the $2 so you don't have to.

UPDATED: Looking for Camera+? It is NOT new photo app Real Camera+

MartyNearDFW — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:51:32 +0000

A new $1.99 app released Friday is called "Real Camera+" and it is anything but real. This is not the reappearance of the excellent original Camera+ app, but an attempt by a developer to cash in on name recognition and ignorance of the original's removal. Avoid this app if you're expecting the excellent original app by tap tap tap.

Review: ClearCam – really works for sharper, clearer pictures

MartyNearDFW — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:21:23 +0000

ClearCam is a camera app that promises clearer, sharper and sometimes larger images from any iPhone. ClearCam makes a lot of big claims. Does it deliver on them? The answer is a resounding yes. There is nothing else like ClearCam in the App Store.

MartyNearDFW — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:49:37 +0000

I was asked to post this email from Brad Malcolm, the President of Athentech, the developers of Perfectly Clear. I have posted it in its entirety, but first, I wanted to weigh in with my thoughts on this update.

Camera Prime, camera replacement app FREE right now

MartyNearDFW — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:09:47 +0000

Camera Prime is FREE right now in the App Store. It's a pretty full featured camera replacement, and this is a full version, not a feature-limited "lite" version. At first glance, it's a decent camera replacement.

Apple September Event: New iPod Touch, iOS 4 update

MartyNearDFW — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:45:46 +0000

Today's Apple September Event was more than the traditional refreshing of the iPod line. There were lots of goodies from Apple for iPhone users as well. The release for the iOS 4 update was announced and the iPod Touch now gets two cameras.

Perfectly Clear updated to 2.0 but it’s pretty buggy on some iPhones

MartyNearDFW — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:43:54 +0000

The Perfectly Clear 2.0 update is in the app store now, but use caution in updating to this version of the app at this time. It's not as unstable as I initially feared, but it still needs a lot more coddling than an iPhone app should require in order to work.

Review: Percolator for iPhone

MartyNearDFW — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:41:13 +0000

Percolator creates mosaics of circles from the camera or from your iPhone's photo library. The results are colorful and unique to anything else in the App Store.

The Diana app for iPhone: What it is and what it isn’t

MartyNearDFW — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:48:09 +0000

The Diana is not a toy camera app. It's a history of the Diana and all of its variations. In this instance, this is not a bad thing at all.
