4 Megapixel iPhone camera, well kind of

Want more than 2 megapixel's from your iPhone camera, well if you have a jail-broken iPhone then now you can, but how? you may ask. Well ClearCam from Occipital emulates the quality of a 4 megapixel camera by taking 6 photos in 2.5 seconds in Enhanced Mode which the developer says creates a sharper image with less noise.

So how does Enhanced Mode work?

1. Select Enhanced and then click the Camera icon to start taking photos.
2. Select the Photo Queue button in the bottom right. The current batch of 6 photos will be at the top of the list, and you can select it.
3. You can flip through the images by tapping the selector at the bottom. This is a multitouch interface and you can zoom, rotate, and scroll the photos.
4. Select the button on the bottom left to bring up a menu. Now you can jump to the sharpest photo or save the current photo to the camera roll.
5. Select Align at the top right to stack the images precisely on top of each other. Then Enhance to create a sharper, 4 megapixel photo with less noise.
6. You can now save the enhanced photo to the camera roll.

In addition to Enhanced Mode, ClearCam also has a QuickShot Mode.

What is QuickShot Mode?

• This mode takes 4 photos in under 2 seconds and saves the sharpest.
• Select QuickShot and then click the Camera icon to start taking photos. The sharpest photo will be saved to your camera roll.

Although this app will only work on jail-broken iPhone's, I wonder how long it will before other developers produce a similar product for us with none jail-broken iPhone's? Maybe this is something the developer of QuadCamera could include in a future release.
