I know there were a lot of people disappointed when it was pulled, so I just wanted to mention that I just got notification that Camera+ is back in the App Store!

It's updated to version 2.0, and has a bunch more features. I'm pretty excited, and those that missed out previously now have a chance to pick it up. I wonder if it stores EXIF data now. That was one of the major features I was hoping to get eventually. The new filter pack is pretty impressive as well, although it's $0.99. I like the pinhole effect.

O have Pro Camera how does Camera Plus compare?
Click to expand...

Both Camera+ and ProCamera are fast. They open in about the same time -- both about 3-4 seconds until you're ready to shoot from a cold start. Both will take photos as fast as you can shoot -- they are as fast as Apple Camera in that regard.

I like the extra grids in ProCamera. I also prefer the three-level anti-shake that ProCamera has. ProCamera will shoot video. Pro Lab and Pro Cut are nice tools to have in a camera app.

Camera+ has all of the features most people will use, though. Plus, the effects in Camera+ are much better than ProCamera.

Camera+ has a Burst Mode -- it saves in low-res VGA resolution, though. ProCamera does not have a burst mode.

ProCamera saves directly to your camera roll. Camera+ saves to it's own lightbox.

To get the best shot in-camera, I think the latest ProCamera is the best camera in the app store and has a slight edge over Camera+ in that regard. But for shooting and processing in one app, Camera+ is the best all in one Swiss Army knife photo app available. The new update improved an already great app.

Especially after the awesome 3.0 update, ProCamera is my go-to camera app.
 
I just got Camera+ and so far I really like it! It's the first camera app I've purchased for my iPhone. I love the ability to use two fingers to adjust the focus and the exposure. It sounds like Camera Pro is also a nice app, but for now I'll stick with Camera+.
 
Camera+ is an awesome app, and completely replaced the native Camera app. I've produced what could be said as some really professional looking pictures which have come out brilliantly. I understand that some don't like th fact it saves to it's own lightbox, however I like to see that as a way of filtering pictures before saving them to your Photo Album. That way, all pictures in your album will look impressive and stunning.

On first impressions of ProCamera it seems to reflect more of an SLR type interface, but yet to test it more.
 
I'm undecided which camera app to try. ProCamera or Camera+.

I really don't like that Camera+ doesn't save to the regular iPhone photo album and has its own "lightbox". From what I've heard, photo saving takes a long time also.

But it sounds like ProCamera doesn't have as many features as Camera+ in terms of effects and editing?
