New iPhone Photo App: Fotomecha - multi lens simulated camera
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 11:30AM |
Glyn Evans Fotomecha is a continuous-shooting camera application that simulates multiple lenses

Description from the AppStore: When you capture a moving subject and press the shutter button, the shutter closes repeatedly with a "snap snap snap!". Just like that, a single photograph that incorporates multiple frames (or an animated GIF) comes out. Set the exposure speed, frame count, and film type to create various kinds of works. Upload your works directly to TwitPic/Twitter and Flickr!
With a design reminiscent of film cameras, and sleek interfaces, you will experience the joy of continuous, exciting shooting.

- Shooting speed setting (0.25s-1s intervals)
- Zoom setting (1x-4x)

- Animated GIF frame count (4/6/9 frames), size, and picture quality settings
Features: Viewer

- Create an animated GIF by dividing a photo

*Photo size may change depending on lens mode.

I just purchased the app. Curious to see how it compares to Andigraf.
Any news on the Res?
so, which one is better? the app seems not bad on the video posted.
update review! (:
This app is cool, even though it seems like a carbon copy in
of Andigraf in many respects. It produces low-res pics which the developers need to fix.
I purchased the app yesterday but have yet to actually use it. I already own andigraf, quadcamera, and classicsamp. I can't seem to get enough of these serial shooting apps, but it's disappointing to hear about the low-res output. This app seems to have the best of all the previously mentioned apps and from the looks of the video you can apply the effects after the photos are taken which is a big plus for me since none of the others can do this.
I would've been disappointed even more if I had paid the non-launch sale price of $2.99 for this app and end up with low-res images. Sure hope they fix this soon and push through an update.
mmm....for creating animated GIF I use Video avatar (geovid.com)
