The iPhone camera does not have a true zoom lens. It has a digital zoom, which means that the camera lacks the optical lenses to “zoom” you in closer to your subject. Instead, Apple’s Camera app digitally recreates a zoom effect by cropping and “rezzing up” on the fly. As you zoom in closer — asking the iPhone do more with essentially fewer pixels — your images become noisier and less sharp.

Since iOS 4, a true digital zoom has been a part of Apple’s Camera app. It’s also been available in camera replacement apps since before there were camera replacement apps (anyone remember Snapture 1.0 in the early Jailbreak days?). At some point in your iPhoneography, you’ll probably need to be closer to your subject than you are. Before you crank it up to 5X, read on for our tips on getting the best shots on an iPhone, Droid, or any camera phone with a digital zoom.

Dropico sample image, Grunge filter. Click for full size.

Since its introduction in early October of 2010, social photo app Instagram has become a huge success, capturing over a million users its first six weeks alone and becoming the social photo sharing app to top. Over the weekend, a new social photo app Dropico was released and it takes aim at Instagram.

While it has some very nice features compared to Instagram, the initial release for iPhone, version 1.8.5, has a few problems that need to be fixed if Dropico is to try and topple the king.
