My number one photo app!

I must have tried most, if not all photo apps for iPhone over the last year, incl. the most famous ones. And for a while I thought I found an absolute champion in this field, that is until Top Camera came along. You have one guess to find out who is my photo champion now! :-)

This is one very, very slick application. First of all it has a gorgeous GUI, not only looking very slick, but also well thought out and easy to use. All controls are well thought out and position jut in the right places. They really make the controls almost transparent, as they should be.

But what really counts is the engine under the hood. Dont be fooled by beautiful interface or ease of use. Under the hood it is a real pro camera software. It has all the features the best of the other ones have, and then some. So far my favourites are HDR (so much better than the lame Apple implementation), Stabilizer and Slow Shutter. Add to that an ingenious frame levelling tool (virtual horizon), separate focus and white balance selectors, and a galore of setting options and you start to realize that this one photographic powerhouse.

The app comes also with a built in photo album, with nice features like configurable folders, a complete EXIFF support, incl. location display with Google maps, a robust and quite complete set of editing tools, as well as a nice set of sharing possibilities, incl. Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Dropbox (in addition to mail, clipboard and saving to iPhones camera roll).

It is really hard to find any fault in this app. It is so robust, easy to use, great looking that I hardly ever use any other of the camera apps I still have installed.

BTW, there was a problem with uploading photos to Dropbox in this new version 1.1. This has now been resolved and is fully functional in this version.
