The IconFactory’s free, retro camera app

If you’ve ever lived with low-res graphics, you will absolutely love playing with BitCam. Incredibly well done, a real blast from the past.

Here’s a sample:

FullSizeRender

There are three default resolution sizes (Super-Res, Standard, and FatBits). The mug shot (sorry!) was taken with FatBits. You can also pay $1.99 to add color.

Fun!

UPDATE: If you like BitCam, you might also check out Console Cam. Similar, but different.

Also, I’d love it if I could take the picture with BitCam but then recover the original .jpg. IconFactory folk, any way to do this? Was thinking of taking all my WWDC photos with BitCam, but don’t want to lose the resolution.

UPDATE 2: From Craig Hockenberry: Turns out you can use the BitCam extension to apply the effect to ordinary pics. Slick!
