Editors comments: This is quite a nice camera app, but not one I would choose as a replacement to the iPhone's own camera app.  The Timer and Anti Shake are features we now come to expect from any camera replacement app, and the burst mode worked really well on my iPhone 3G.  Missing from this app is a full screen shutter button, something I now believe is a must with any camera app, but the most disappointing feature of all was the Face Detection, which on my iPhone 3G, struggle to detect my face, but this may have been due to limitations of the iPhone 3G itself, and may not be a problem on the 3GS.

If anyone has tried this app, especially on a 3GS, then please let us know if the Face Detection worked better that it did on my 3G.
