Camera+ 2 brings a new interface, raw editing and dual camera support to your iPhone

by 1 Comment

Camera+ is one of my favourite iOS apps. It’s almost certainly the one I’ve used the most during the time that I owned iPhones. Whenever I got a new one, it was the first thing I’d install to replace the stock camera app that comes with iOS. It offers a level of control that the native app just can’t (or at least, doesn’t) offer while still offering “easy mode” options for when you want a quick snap.

Launched almost 8 years ago, it’s become one of the most popular 3rd party camera apps out there for iOS. Now they’ve launched a completely new and overhauled Camera+ 2. It’s been “reimagined and rewritten from the ground up” to help optimise efficiency and add new features. It offers improved dual camera support, built-in raw & depth editing, new sharing options and a “Smile Mode”.

They’ve filed a patent infringement case against Apple in US federal court.

The suit alleges that Apple have infringed their patent which covers dual camera technology. That this technology has already been incorporated into devices like the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus without their authorisation.

Samsung’s new dual pixel mobile sensor wants to eliminate dual cameras in smartphones

by Leave a Comment

It feels like only last year we were faced with a technological breakthrough. Dual cameras in our phones. Two cameras working together as one to improve image quality, and increase ISO performance. To let us realistically fake the shallow depth of field previously only possible with large sensors. Oh, wait a minute. That was last year.

Dual camera smartphones have pretty much become a requirement now for anybody taking their mobile photography seriously. Already, though, Samsung want to make the whole concept obsolete. They’ve now announced some new mobile image sensors based on dual pixel technology. Similar to that found in cameras such as the Canon 5D Mark IV. Only way smaller.

Dual lenses accessories are coming to dual camera iPhones

by 1 Comment

iPhone 7 Plus owners you know you were missing all the cool little iPhone lenses. Of course you were. Old Smartphone lenses must look like Greek myth cyclopes for you now.  How can you fit a single clip on lens on a dual lens phone?

This is changing as gear makers are now making dual-lens optics for the iPhone 7 Plus. The first one we are seeing is coming from Kamerar, but I suspect that we will see more of those.

The future of mobile photography, and dual camera systems

by 3 Comments

Mobile photography has become more popular than anybody could’ve imagine over the last few years.  Instagram receives 80+ million image uploads per day, and Facebook see an insane 300 million photo uploads every single day.

But the technology of a single tiny sensor and lens is starting to hit its limit.  There’s only so far you can go given the physical limitations of such a device.  So, let’s add a second camera.

Custom SLR Dual Camera Strap Makes it Easy To carry Two Cameras At Once

by 1 Comment

Despite having a direct impact on one’s ability to capture fleeting moments, not to mention the amount of shoulder and neck pain at the end of a long day, many photographers don’t spend the time or money upgrading the strap that came with their camera.

For some the camera strap is arguably one of the most important pieces of gear after the camera and lenses, and when you’re using two cameras it becomes twice as important.

Whether you’ve already discovered the wonderful world of ergonomic camera straps or you’re still using OEM junk, you owe it to yourself to check out Custom SLR’s Dual Strap.
