Since Apple included a burst feature in its native Camera app, the bar has been raised and app makers have to work harder to impress.
Superburst Camera is being touted as the fastest burst camera in the App Store, with more than twice the speed of the iPhone 5s’ Camera app. Take an average of 25 shots per second at 8MP, or go even further with 120 photos per second in Slow-Mo Shutter mode…
