iPhone App Review: 5.0 Megapixel Camera

Bottom Line: Good especially if you plan on printing images at larger than recommended sizes.
Sometimes you just need more megapixels in your images. 5.0 Megapixel Camera by CrowdCafé is a camera app that produces 5.0 MP images from your iPhone’s 2 MP or 3 MP camera.
The hardware of the iPhone’s camera is limited to capturing 2 or 3 megapixel images. Neither 5.0 Megapixel Camera or Camera XL (another resolution enhancing app) update the hardware or the software of the camera to shoot the image with more pixels. Both apps use interpolation to create the additional pixels — basically using software to insert a new pixel between two existing pixels and giving the new pixel a value that’s the average of the two existing pixels. The result is a larger image with greater detail than if you’d simply printed the original, smaller image at a larger size.
