Building a camera into a phone makes total sense. Th ese days,
nearly everyone carries a cell phone with them at all times; and
nearly everyone owns a small digital camera to take snapshots
of things that are happening in their life. So putting the two
together was a no-brainer. Why carry two things when you can
carry one?
A fundamental problem with most camera phones is image
quality. It’s oft en pretty bad. Th e sensors are incredibly tiny;
the lenses aren’t very good; and the range of light they can
capture is pretty small … even in comparison to an inexpensive
compact digital camera.

This app gives your images the appearance of analog photo prints right from your iPhone in a cool retro square format. Even professional photographers have started using this app for serious work! Hipstamatic images were recently featured on the front page of The New York Times.
The Hipstamatic app provides you with three lenses, two flashes, and three different films, but you can upgrade with a number of different “hipstapaks” some of which are available only for a limited time. I must admit, I am totally addicted to this app. Here’s a list of my 5 favorite lens and film combinations.
