Snapture: Iphone App That Improves Camera Functionality

While I find the iPhone’s camera to be essentially worthless (possible to get a focused picture?) the default camera app shipping with the iPhone is even worse.

Enter Snapture, which promises to take your iPhone camera experience to the next level. Features include:

  • QuickView thumbnail stack
  • QuickView thumbnail enlarge
  • QuickView delete
  • EasyCapture
  • QuickAccess
  • Geotagging
  • Color modes
  • Multishot
  • Delay timer
  • Level aid
  • Gesture zoom
  • Auto-rotation
  • Image size
  • Touch zone
  • Quiet mode

Yes that all sounds very cool, and if you check the youtube above you’ll see that it also looks pretty good too. There is, of course, a catch. Right now it only works on jailbroken iPhones. But once Snapture gains access to Apple’s (hurry please) camera frameworks via SDK they do plan to make it available in the app store.

Check out Snapture at their site…
