Is camera+ and instagram worth it

[Rocko1]

Camera + is nice for adding cool treatments to photos. I suggest it.

I have Camera+ and really like it.

Gives me all of the basic editing tools plus captions & a lot of excess scene stuff.

Most importantly, though, I can choose white balance/focus point/stabilized/burst mode and a lot of other "pro" shooting options.

With Camera+ being all of $0.99, it's not a big investment. Less than a soft drink or coffee many buy without a moment's thought.

Just for a 20oz bottle of coke is $1.70 at my local shopping center. But 2 liter bottles are sometimes cheaper then a $1. Odd.

Are you suggesting devs should sell their "pro" products for less than their entry level ones?

Also, those $1.70 Cokes are usually cold. The energy used keeping them cool has to get paid for by someone. And not too many people drink straight from a 2 liter.

I am still waiting for Camera+ to introduce back the ability to use the volume button as a shutter.

They had that feature and apple got pissed. Removed it.
Then app re-introduce it as a wonderful feature natively, but camera+ still hasn't brought it back yet.

Haha. just when i complained at little for the Shutter via volume button.

Camera+ just released an update today bringing back that ability!!!!

I love camera+ and instagram. Just for messing around with and making photos look slightly more colorful and what not.

Camera+ actually shoots better pictures than the phone app--IF you know how to use it, and if you understand proper exposure techniques. It frees you from the forced default exposure of what point you focused on, and allows you to use another exposure point within the frame. This means that if you know what you're doing, you can adjust your exposures by the equivalent of a few f-stops--and that's a damn big difference to anyone who actually knows how to use a camera. It allows you to go from mediocre snapshots to possible works of art (or utter crap, when you screw up...LOL).

Of course, if all you ever do is point and shoot and let the camera do all the work, the built in app is fine.

The filters in Camera+ are fine, at least you can adjust them a bit, which helps. But it's the ability to have that second point for exposure that has made it my default app since the iPhone 4 first came out. (and it's what I miss when I use Hipstamatic for playing around with)
