Life in LoFi: iPhoneography

Ooops! It looks like on Sunday, the 1.6 update for ClearCam by Occipital 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 in about a day or two. ClearCam normally sells for $1.99 — this sale is for 50% off.

In the new iOS 4.1, the 1.6 update now works on the older iPhone 3G. It also has new Camera Roll Places support which saves and image’s EXIF and GPS location data to the iPhone’s camera roll.

Other improvement and fixes include better stability, improved algorithms in Enhanced Mode and a promised bug fix for the camera roll rotation problem.

We recently reviewed the previous version of ClearCam and highly recommend it, giving it four out of five stars. In both of its modes, ClearCam produces simply amazing photos rich in clarity and detail. There is nothing else like it in the App Store.

It won’t be on sale for long — maybe a day or two, so grab it quickly.

ClearCam
Version 1.5.5
Price: $1.99

Bottom Line: ClearCam definitely delivers on its claims of sharper, clearer larger images.

ClearCam by Occipital is a camera app that promises clearer, sharper and sometimes larger images from any iPhone. It claims to eliminate the blur without “missing the moment”. It does so without waiting for an anti-shake setting to kick in. It claims to take clearer, sharper pictures with twice the resolution in enhanced mode.

ClearCam makes a lot of big claims. Does it deliver on them? The answer is a resounding yes. ClearCam produces simply amazing photos rich in clarity and detail. There is nothing else like it in the App Store.

UPDATE: All of the free promo codes have been given away. Stay tuned… we’ve got more more stuff to give away soon.

I’ve used and liked ClearCam for a long time. Those of you with jailbroken iPhones may remember ClearCam from Cydia. This is the same app, available with all the functionality of the old version. In fact, the App Store version of ClearCam works better than it’s jailbroken predecessor. It does everything the old version did but is faster and much more stable. With the new camera, it rocks on an iPhone 4.

ClearCam for iPhone is on sale for $0.99 – that’s half off the $1.99 it normally goes for and a huge $7 off what some of us paid for it when it was only available for jailbroken iPhones.

OXCamera
Version 1.0
Price: $1.99 USD

Bottom Line: A great multiple exposure camera, despite the unpronounceable name….

OXCamera by Chime & Beeper Software is an undiscovered gem of an app because there’s no way to easily tell other iPhoneographers about it. It’s not “o” and “x”. Most browsers won’t even render the characters correctly. How do you pronounce the name? Ox Camera? Mul Eks?  Omicron Chi Camera? The Artist Formerly Known as App? The title comes with a pronunciation guide (see photo), but even that doesn’t render correctly in Firefox.

Regardless of how you pronounce the name of the app, OXCamera is a surprisingly good multiple exposure camera for the iPhone. It’s a great tool to use for experimenting with multiple exposure photography on an iPhone.
