ProCamera is faster *saving* only in that it doesn't allow you to cache as many images as Gorillacam does. ProCamera will only let you shoot about 2 or 3 images at a time.

Gorillacam is probably the fastest multishot camera app I've tested so far, but the downside is you may have to wait a few minutes while it saves all of the images. I know several iPhoneographers who are very happy with Gorillacam as their camera replacement.

if it's faster saving, then i'd love to buy.

me once again. If you could improve your black and white exactly like Vint B&W i could delete another app .

Could you either make a faster saving like "Color Leap" (i dont know how they do it, but seems to be fastest saving thirdparty photoapp) or a burst mode like gorillacam (no limit for shooting while saving in the background?

The reason is not that i need a motordrive but after 2 shots with your app i cannot take another one before one of the two is saved to camera roll. Most of the time its only a feeling be limited but sometimes i have to 2 or 3 pics more and could miss the best pic.

I like the new grid (still decent!) and the new zoom. just sliding. A small sign as decent as the grid would be great in the case you zoomed in (may be the factor). only to not forget to zoom out later.

ProCamera is my camera replacement since v2.6 and still seames to get even better. Dont stop your nice work.

@M

good review. good blog. I come back regularly

Hahahahahaha! I'm not admitting to reading peopleofwalmart.com, but I will say that your comment made me laugh out loud for a long time!

=M=

check out stealthcam – I think this is going to be huge in this peopleofwalmart.com day and age…and even though it's not out yet I feel like it's being largely ignored in the blog scene

I know I want to take some pics of some walmart creatures without being seen!

You're very welcome. The last several updates to ProCamera have been amazing.

Thank you for the comment and thank you for the additonal explanation (from a developer's viewpoint) regarding EXIF data. Somehow, I'm not surprised that the ProCamera Team is working on solving this issue.

=M=

Camera apps can choose between easy syncing by exporting to the camera roll (while loosing EXIF information) or to save in the documents directory of the app itself, which allows EXIF information to be saved but makes syncing with a computer complicated.

Most camera apps prioritize easy syncing.

We (ProCamera Team) are currently working on a new solution which will combine easy syncing and saving of EXIF information. Let us know if you have any other wishes for upcoming updates besides 'magic button' and EXIF infos (which will come for sure).

And thank you very much for such a great article!!

Thank you for your comments!

The missing EXIF info is currently an issue with all third-party camera apps. Only Apple's built-in Camera app will save all of an image's EXIF data. It uses APIs in the iPhone OS that Apple hasn't made publicly available to developers yet.

Some developers have worked around this issue by using a built-in photo album within their apps. You can then share or email the images *from within the app* and it will retain whatever EXIF data the app embeds in the image. Once the image is shared, saved to or synced with the iPhone's photo library, that info is removed.

I'll side with the developers on this one. There's not much more they can do until Apple allows them to access those routines in the iPhone OS.

I hope this helps!

It's not a HUGE problem, typically, more of an annoyance than anything I guess — just irks me. I find that I still take shots using just plain ol' Camera.app to preserve the most info, then edit in others (except for Hipstamatic because I can't import pictures and it's just so FUN to play with).

Also, seriously, I am SO glad I found this blog. I've really been enjoying it, and have expanded my library of photo apps quite a bit now. Thank you.
