OK, seriously, if you want perfect pictures, then take em with a digital camera and send them to yourself on your phone (or just copy them over...) I expect my cameraphone to act like a cameraphone, not a DSLR.

I can only imagine what Jason's "covert" picture archive looks like.

@SomeoneUKno: How could you be against better camera software? I don't carry a digital camera everywhere. This could be fun.

The problem is, the camera sensor is so limited that there's not much software can do with it.

I would like to be able to move the shutter button on the default camera app.

@SomeoneUKno: Alternatively, you could tell developers not to implement a phone camera and half ass the software.

@itchytooth: I don't know, I've taken some okay pictures with the camera, as long as the lighting is decent.

The camera sensor embedded into macs only takes VGA quality pictures, but the photobooth software gives it some extra value. Provided you're a 13 year old of course.

Well Snapture does a good job of making more options available for the user that should have been part of the iPhone camera to begin with.

@itchytooth: As for moving around the shutter button, Snapture just needs you to touch anywhere on the screen to take the picture or even use the volume keys on the side to take the picture...helps in some cases

@Babysealclubber: I'm not saying it takes bad pictures. What I mean is, the kind of added controls I would want to have - shutter speed, ISO, aperture - are probably not possible with the given hardware.

@warknight10: Ooh! Using the volume keys for a shutter button is something I've always wished the camera app would allow. This makes Snapture "worth it" for me.

Digital zoom is NOT an improvement.

something is better than nothing no?

@mikeklein: Actually I would disagree with you because we're only talking about mobile photography here.

People love looking through pictures on iPhone's gorgeous screen, but relatively, it's still a small screen for a 2MP camera sensor. Even with a 3X digital zoom you can still get great pictures without sacrificing the quality of the image when viewed on iPhone. It'll never be as good as a 3X optical zoom obviously, but if we're talking purely for iPhone photography, where people take and view pictures on the go, 3X digital zoom kicks ass!

You should try it mikeklein, Snapture works really well. =)

Digital Zoom == BOOOOOO!

To do digital zoom anywhere:

In your photo editing program, select the CROP tool, and crop the center.

In your photo editing program, select the RESIZE tool, and resize it back to original size.

That's it.

Digital Zoom is a fancy way of saying CROP.
