Hipstamatic is my favorite new app for my iPhone!  It costs only $1.99 and makes taking photos fun again, because you never know quite what you’re going to get.  Select a vintage film stock, your favorite lens, and decide if you need a flash or not.  Just enough options to get you hooked (and make you want to buy the expansion packs… which I’ll probably be doing before spring break.)

The app loads a little slowly (which has caused me to miss a few choice photo opportunities) and has kind of a groan-worthy name, but it takes good photos and has a well designed interface to make you feel like you really are holding an old-school camera.  Overall, I love the concept and it’s quickly become one of my top ranked/used iPhone applications.

It was the first chance I’ve had to play with my new camera, a Sony H20.  So far I really like it!  Good quality combined with a convenient size and good manual-control abilities
