You might have noticed the complaint about saving speed and the misleading “Saved!” pop-up that I copied and pasted into the four updates to this series that I posted today.

If not: DO NOT BELIEVE THE ‘SAVED!’ POP-UP THAT POPS UP WHEN YOU TELL HIPSTAMATIC D TO SAVE A CAMERA ROLL TO THE CAMERA ROLL!!!

And especially do not delete the camera from Hipstamatic D before you verify all images have been saved to the camera roll!

Otherwise, you’re likely to end up with only three shots, like I did. GRRRR.

Here are the three, and I’ll update this post whenever I get around to shooting another one of these cameras.

I like the B/W effect, and I like the border, and it’s a DAMNED SHAME that I deleted the roll before the app got around to transferring all the pictures to the iPhone’s camera roll. A damned shame.

Of course, it’s my fault as much as the app’s, and I’ll still recommend the app: it’s made a place for itself on my shoot screen, and isn’t tucked away in a folder like Incredibooth, or deleted from the phone entirely and languishing in the iTunes app folder like SwankoLab, but it also hasn’t made it into the hallowed hall that is the iPhone dock, like its namesake…

I really like the double-exposure-ish effect in the Rodney ZX9 camera, but can totally do without the rainbow brite light leak. Hopefully the slider controls the leak intensity only, and leaves the double exposure intact. Further testing will ensue, at some point…

 

A note: it takes a loooong time to transfer the pics from Hipstamatic D to the camera roll, and if you try to save multiple cameras to the camera roll at once, the whole operation can take an hour or more. It took around 90 minutes to completely save 5 cameras worth of images, and the transfer only happened while Hipstamatic D was opened.

And don’t be fooled by the “Saved!” pop-up that pop’s up after you hit ‘save,’ as that just means the save operation has begun. I lost 21 shots out of the BlacKeys roll because I deleted that set of images from the app soon after the ‘Saved!’ pop-up appeared… Grrrrr…

I hope Synthetic gets this together in a future update.

Update: I shot another one of these cameras today to check out the slider action… My hope was that the slider controlled the intensity of the light leak, but it controls the intensity of the double-exposure offset instead. I am wildly disappointed in this, and wish I could find a way to delete this camera form app entirely, as I will only be scrolling past this one in the future.

It’s a shame too, because it would be a total win (for me) without the damnable light leak.

And this Foxy camera is FUN! Great blur effects and good color. GoGo.

I think I’ll be using this one rather often, despite the silly border…

Here is a full roll from the Hipstamatic D-Series D-Lite camera.

I really like the color saturation and slight brown tint this camera offers, but the light leaks are a bit much in many cases, so I’ll be using this camera with the slider all the way to the left in the future. (BTW: the slider controls the intensity of various effects.)

And I will be using this camera in the future, as I quite enjoy the effects.

Well, it took awhile, but I finally shot through another group of Hipstamatic D-Series cameras.

These shots came out of the D-Fault camera.

I like the border, and can see whipping this camera out in certain situations. The color saturation and contrast is interesting, and I’m pretty sure this would make for some fun snapshots.
