Editors comments: This looks like quite an interesting app, that appears to be using interpolation to increase the effective megapixels.

I have not had chance to carry out a full test, but the app definitely increases the output and file size, and on a recent photo taken of Lewis Hamilton at the Westfield shopping centre in London (see below) you can see I have been able to crop to an acceptable 500 x 500 pixels size without any lose in quality.  That said, as I only used this app to take the snaps I can not do a comparative test.

The above 4 megapixel photo was taken on the iPhone 3G (2 megapixel) using Camera XL. Click the photo to see the full size version.The above photo was cropped to 500 x 500 with no visable lose in quality.At the moment the jury is out on this app, but if I get time I will investigate it in more depth, but if anyone else has bought and used this app, then please leave your feedback in the comments section.
