Japanese developer Takayuki Fukatsu brings an interesting new camera app to the iPhone. QuadCamera, as the name suggests, takes four pictures in succession and creates one image out of the four.

It’s a fun toy but nothing too practical. The created image is a 320 by 480 pixel, the same as the regular camera outputs with each photo being a quarter of the whole image.

The only problem I had with QuadCamera was that without the sound on there’s no way to tell that it’s taking more than one picture. With the sound on however, you can hear four shutters as the pictures are quickly taken.

QuadCamera puts a nice effect on the output picture making for images you won’t find on every iPhone’s camera album. Playing around with the settings allow for other dimensions other than 2x2 and the ability to take black and white QuadPhotos.

For $1.99 you’ll get a fun camera toy that puts a new spin on iPhone photography. While it’s nothing too practical, it does what a fish-eye lens does for a real camera: ads fun with limited functionality
