Is there another Camera+ update on its way?

Tap Tap Tap have just submitted what they say is a major feature update to their iPhone camera replacement app, Camera+.  If Apple approve this update (and I hope they do), then we should soon have "VolumeSnap", which uses the iPhone’s volume controls to take photos.

Below is Tap Tap Tap's description for this yet to be approved update.

• VolumeSnap ~ use your iPhone’s volume controls to snap photos!
• Using Camera+ now feels just like a real camera. Your photos can be sharper because you can now hold your iPhone steadier with two hands instead of fumbling around for the shutter button on screen.
• In addition, you can plug your iPhone earphones in and use the volume buttons on them as a remote shutter control.

Editors comments: OK, I just bought this app/eBook because next year my sister-in-law is getting married and I have been asked to take the wedding photos (and before you ask, yes I will be shooting this with my iPhone 4).  Now whilst I can take a snap or two, I am no wedding photographer, so when I saw this app was on offer priced at £0.59/$0.99/€0.79, I thought perfect, this should give me some good ideas on how to shoot the wedding.

From the apps title, "Wedding Photography 101", you might be forgiven for thinking that you were going to get 101 tips, tricks and ideas, but sadly this is not the case.  What you do get is just 10 easy lessons, with the author telling you haw he conducts the days event.

Having read all 10 pages!!, yes 10 pages, I would say that if you are a wedding photographer, then you will learn absolutely nothing from this app, and if you are like me, a complete novice at wedding photography, then you will learn absolutely nothing from this app.

I will leave this app on my iPad, and live in hope that the app gets updated with some useful stuff, but what this app offers is less than what could be found for free on the internet, but still it was only £0.59, so I have not lost much.

New iPhone Video App: Video Edit

Video Edit is the quickest way to edit video on the iPhone 4 & iPhone 3GS.

Description from the AppStore: We believe the iPhone is the most convenient way to shoot videos of your family, your friends, your podcast, a concert, or spontaneous event. But a single video clip is often unpolished: it's jerky in some areas, too long, or just isn't interesting.

The power of Video Edit is its simplicity to stitch together a series of your BEST video moments and render them for sharing with the people that matter most. We've spent over 10-months optimizing Video Edit's rendering speed so you can create quick, professional videos in minutes.

Video Edit is great for: Blogging, Vacations, Concerts, Skate Parks, Family Events, Documentaries, Video Portfolios, Baby's First Steps, Sporting Activities, Citizen Journalism, Behind the Scenes Footage.

Our belief in developing Video Edit is that not everyone wants to spend hours editing, creating titles, transitions, and fades on their iPhone. In many cases you just want to shoot, trim, and stitch together a handful of entertaining clips to share online. Video Edit strips away the extraneous and helps you edit your clips quickly using the fastest rendering speed possible on the iPhone.

AppStore Link: Video Edit - Price: £1.19/$1.99/€1.59

Editors comments: This app was announced some months ago, and way before Apple announced the iPhone 4 and iMovie for the iPhone. Video Edit however does look like a nice simple video editor, and if that's all your after, then this may be the app for you.  My only problem with this app, whilst reasonable priced, looks too limiting for most, which is a real shame as the rendering looks real quick.  Now whilst I know that by adding titles and transitions etc, will increase the rendering time, I still think this is something the app needs, even if only basic titles and transitions.

If anyone does try this app, then please let us know what you think.
