Hipstamatic vs. Camera+
After hearing so much about Hipstamatic, I bought it a couple of days ago and have been using it none stop! In fact, I had originally vowed I would never use an app that would "fake" the Holga look, being the Holga purist (snob) that I am... But after playing with Hipstamatic, I've just been having way too much fun and I fear my Holgas and Polaroid cameras will be collecting a lot of dust from now on! The immediacy and [shake to] randomness of the app just makes it a complete joy to use.
That being said, after hearing all of you going on about Camera+, I decided to purchase it to see if I could recreate one of my favorite Hipstamatic shots... though it took more work (adding effects, saving, reopening to add more effects and border, etc.) I think I did get better results with the Camera+ app. The sheer fun/immediacy isn't the same as with the Hipstamatic app, but it's definitely a powerful little app with more control (and all of these apps are so cheap, how can anyone not get them all!?)
So I'll let you decide, which shot do you prefer? The top one (Hipstamatic) or the bottom one (Camera+)
Other camera apps I've been using, "QuadCamera" (really fun and can make animated gifs from your sequential shots) "Pic Grunger" (simple but powerful app that allows you to add scratches, acid spills, sponge smearing, etc.) and "TiltShiftGen".
I also got Colorsplash and Camerabag but haven't really used them more than once each. I'm also waiting for Swankolab to be updated for iPhone 4, then I will purchase that as well.
