CameraPixels PRO

After using Halide Camera for a while, this app has so much more capability. The exposure bracketing can allow for amazing dynamic range for editing even on old iPhones. Being able to do focus bracketing makes macro shots way better, and the burst interval is great for shooting time lapses in RAW. I just wish the burst interval would go longer than one second max. Other than that this app does everything I would possibly need for taking pictures.

This app is really cool and can help get much higher quality images than with the standard cam. One thing I would like to see is a combination of multishot and bracketing. Basically each exposure of the bracket would itself be made up of 3 or more (maybe up to 15) multi exposure shots combined into one. This would give a much higher quality result for each exposure in the bracket, allowing for near DSLR quality source files to bring into HDR software. That would be awesome

The development team usually issues fixes pretty quickly, but while the cam does “work” at some things, it’s still full of bugs. For example, in the MAIN settings. Checking items on/off. Capture settings aren’t ever saved, capture modes aren’t saved, there is NO light theme, etc. Switching from rear cam set to HEIC for example and going to front cam, it ALWAYS reverts to JPG even if you also have the front saved to HEIC, no matter how many times it’s set. I dunno… this cam really is good and has tons of potential, but the bugs that get fixed seem to just introduce more; fix 1 create 3, it simply just isn’t a reliable cam you can select and know for a fact your presets are properly set and ready to shoot when you absolutely need it in the blink of an eye. For these reasons I find myself using ProCam5 majority of the time instead, the cam within Lightroom, and even the stock cam still is very useful. Once this cam is fully polished and the bugs are worked out, it’ll stand out. But right now, it’s just not ready and not reliable, sorry. I really wish I had waited to purchase the paid version. It’s definitely not ready for being a daily driver camera.
