You should probably try Best Camera iPhone app from Chase Jarvis, photos taken can be viewed here: http://www.thebestcamera.com/popular.html and they are updated real-time.

Thanks Atavision for the great list of apps. Also thanks to all of you who suggested other camera apps.

Hi Sebastien,

I don’t know how you survive your iphone photo capturing without TrueHDR?

The 3GS has that wonderful feature of allowing you to tap into the picture where you want the camera to focus on (and also focus on the light condition). In a bright environment (as you hopefully remember from San Diego… although I guess your current locations are as sunny), you have the effect that one part of the image is way too bright and the other is way to dark.

TrueHDR simply allows you to take two pictures of the same scene and merge them, what you do is you tap the darkest area for the first shot and the brightest for the second. The app simply (well… guess the algorithm is not really simple) merges the dynamic range of two different lighting scenarios for the same scene and with that overcomes one of the biggest disadvantages of the iphone camera.

I have been using this a while now and it works beautifully for me, it usually beats even the 5MB Nexus camera that I use in comparison. By far.
And I would say that more than half of your sample shots would have greatly benefited from it!

hth,

Markus (Sebastien you know me, for the others I am not linked in any way to the dev of TrueHDR, just really like the app)

For camera apps, I love Tripod. When you press the button, it waits until the accelerometer reads zero to take the pic. No more blurry pics
