I love my iPhone camera. True, it takes pretty low quality pictures compared to what it could, but it's always with me, it is better than the average mobile phone camera and the apps make it unbeatable. You can do anything to an iPhone image from your photo library. B+W is one of the basic filters you can apply to your pics, but A+ Black and White Camera does a better job than any other B+W conversion app available.

Spica is a Super Monochrome filter for your camera. Lots of other photo editing apps offer black and white conversion and monochrome filters, but this little app consistently creates the best super-contrasty images I've seen yet in the App Store.

More functionality for your camera. Most point and shoot cameras are designed to give you none, or very little, control over depth of field. Depth of field on an SLR is controlled with the F-stop ring on the camera's lens. Depth of field is defined simply as the gradual decrease in sharpness from the center or focal point of a photograph. Point and shoots are designed to take great landscape, portrait and snap-shots. In all of these situations total clarity and sharpness, or hyper-focus, is what look best. But in macro and artistic situations D.O.F. comes into play.

While a lot of people complain about the functionality of the iPhone camera, I like its lack of bells and whistles. By not offering many features, Apple has created a developers niche, and creativity flourishes. The Cloudburst guys have developed a great panorama app. I've used the other apps out there that create panoramas from multiple images, and I think that this one, AutoStitch, is by far the best.

This app is as close to the photomerge function that Adobe offers in Photoshop as any other iPhone app has gotten. AutoStitch automatically takes the images that it is given and stitches them together. Other App Store panorama apps require the user to align the images. Just like photomerge in Ps, AutoStitch merges the images seamlessly and produces a noticeably higher quality final image than other panorama apps. Another thing that sets AutoStitch apart is its ability to stitch images vertically as well as horizontally, in a collage type format, even in the same stitch. That trait actually goes above and beyond Ps on your desktop.
