Grungetastic for iPhone and Grungetastic HD for iPad both create grungey, distorted, and distressed images. Both apps support full 5 MP iPhone 4 images. Like all other Jixipix apps, the effects are richly textured. Basically, Grungetastic does a good job of beating up your images.

Both versions recently got a big 2.0 update. Now, both the iPhone and iPad versions are free in the App Store. Click past the jump to read more about these apps and a warning from the developer if you’re upgrading from version 1. >>>

CamCam
Version: 1.1
Price: $2.99

Bottom Line: Good, but not very good. Great looking filters for both stills and video. Supports full-res. Needs more frames. It’s not a fast app.

Camera+Camcorder = CamCam. I get it. Catchy name. And I like the icon.

CamCam is a new effects camera from CnC with 30 film, camera and color effects and 7 frames. See below for a list of all 30 effects. All effects preview in speedy realtime, which is pretty cool. The rest of the app doesn’t feel as snappy, but it’s still an interesting app.

Camera360 Ultimate is the most popular app for mobile phone photography on the Droid platform. An iPhone version has been available for a while. It’s not a pano app, as the name might suggest. It’s a camera app with a lot of features, including over a dozen retro style filters.

The app is normally $0.99. It’s FREE right now in the App Store for a limited time. This is for the full version of Camera360 Ultimate, not a feature-limited lite version. There’s no mention of this freebie in the App Description, so I’m thinking it won’t last long. This is a good chance to try the app and see how one of the premier photo apps for Android works.

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch (4th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi, and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Requires iOS 4.0 or later.

I just double-checked. If you missed last month’s 100 Cameras giveaway, as of 11:00 am Central time today, Trey Ratcliff’s popular iPhone photo app 100 Cameras in One is FREE right now in the App Store (usual price $1.99). This is for the full version of 100 Cameras, not the try-before-you-buy 100 Cameras Free Version.

It’s probably a glitch. Or an oversight. Or one of those “flash” sales. Regardless, I’ll bet this doesn’t last long. If you don’t already have the app, grab it now.

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.2 or later.

11:52am (lunch time!) by Tosha. Shot with an iPhone 5? (photo courtesy of ars technica)

ars technica blog recently posted a photo of sushi allegedly shot with an iPhone by an Apple engineer and posted to his Flickr account. What’s special about this iPhone photo is that according to the photo’s EXIF data, it was cropped down from an original size of 3264 x 2448 pixels — 8 megapixels, the rumored resolution of the next generation iPhone camera.

Leme Camera
Version 2.3
Price: FREE

Leme Camera is back with yet another revision, but unlike the update that prompted Marty to give them a justified smackdown last spring (while I lambasted it elsewhere) this update is a decided improvement that brought Leme Camera back onto my dock.

What’s New (& Awesome)

• Background processing! Leme Camera now has a 9 photo buffer that lets you keep snapping rather than waiting for each photo to process. Given how cumbersome the user experience for reviewing and saving a photo was this is a HUGE improvement.
