Camera Zoom 4 4+

This app has now taken over as my default camera app, why?,
1- It works the same as the default camera app.
2- it has real time zoom function (Badly missing on default camera)
Now the review - As stated the picture when zoomed in is not the clearest in both preview mode and saved mode BUT, if you also have the HDR app then you can get some very clean sharp images . Zoom in, take photo. save, then open up HDR app choose photo taken with Zoom app and clean up the image and there you have it, A very presentable picture. Also just having the freedom of zoom in real time makes this a bargain app and therefore worth 5 stars. Sure the pictures are not the best....yet, but with future updates this can only get better, AND, as yet there isnt another zoom app on the app store. This is a very unique app.

This app is great for zooming in further than you can with your normal phone’s camera. As technology improves I’d really love to see an improvement in photo and video resolution/clarity. I’d also like there to be a feature where the camera shutter sound can be turned off in the settings for the app, as this sound can be irritating plus unwanted at times.

v2.0 review: It is finally worthy of downloading! You can see my original v1.1 review below, but now you can take shot after shot in any orientation and even use the volume keys for the shutter - much better than causing the camera to go out of focus because you had to touch the screen to take a shot previously (even though this feature is still there as an option if you want that). I had the image stabiliser feature turned on (with normal full picture quality ON of course!), and while it did take a little while to take a shot of something at full zoom (a picture on a nearby desk) - the quality of the photo in the picture was not blurry, considering. If you have been thinking about this App, I'd say now is the time to download and enjoy it! 4 stars this time!

Original v1.1 review: On my iPhone 3GS the pictures are really bad and grainy with zoom at any level - even setting the pictures in options to be at 320x480. Picture is only taken about 1 second AFTER you press the camera button and you hear the click. Phone has to be absolutely still to reduce any sort of blur. For reasonable quality pictures, don't use any zoom at all.
