"Fast Tap Camera is an incredibly useful application that launched today. It helps you take pictures with your iPhone in situations when you need to react fast or when you can not see the camera button. It allows you to tap anywhere on the screen to take the photo.

Fast Tap Camera is also designed to help you find it very fast on your home screen (red icon) and also to help you know when you can tap the screen for a photo and when you have to wait for the photo to be saved." - picturephoning.com

"Fast Tap Camera: And the second cool-looking camera app is one that adds a functionality I've been looking for: expanding the camera's tiny shutter button to the whole screen. I've dropped my phone countless times trying to awkwardly hit the shutter button in a non-conventional shooting angle, and this solves that problem. Let the self portraits and hail mary shots flow. $1" - gizmodo.com

"Finally, an easier way to take photos" - touchmyapps.com

low res. photo(320*480): 0.5 sec. on 3GS; 0.8 sec. on 3G; 1 sec. on 2G

Enjoy the first and only camera app in the AppStore that lets you save many single - multi-shot photos to your camera roll! You can use this photos to create nice movies on your computer with software like Apple QuickTime Pro or Windows Movie Maker.

Fast Tap Camera Review

Tap anywhere to take a photo—but be prepared for long save times.

by Beau Colburn, Macworld.com

Fast Tap Camera from Soneso allows you to tap anywhere on the iPhone’s screen to snap a photo—a helpful capability, particularly if you’re taking a shot of yourself or trying to hold the device still in low light.


Tap Away: Fast Tap Camera lets you tap anywhere on the iPhone’s screen to take a photo—ideal for self-portraits (and, apparently, photos of your keyboard).

But that newfound capability comes with a price. Once you tap on the screen, it can take up to 10 seconds for the image to be saved to the camera roll. (In contrast, saving an image shot with just the built-in camera app takes just a second or two.) To offset this delay, Fast Tap Camera gives you the option of taking up to four full quality (or up to 50 low-resolution) shots before saving. The app still takes almost as long to save them afterwards; it’s just saving you some wait time between shots.

It’s also worth noting that those low-resolution shots—featuring 320-by-480 resolution—are not particularly useable. The full-resolution images shot by Fast Tap Camera are normal iPhone quality.

Be aware that photos taken with Fast Tap Camera do not save EXIF information about the photo. (This is not the developer’s fault—currently no third-party apps have access to this data from the camera.) With the increasing popularity of geo-tagging photos—a major feature of iPhoto ’09 and popular on photo-sharing sites like Flickr—images captured with Fast Tap Camera will not show this info. That alone is reason enough for me to stick with the built-in camera for most shots, but your needs may be different.

Fast Tap Camera is compatible with any iPhone running the iPhone 2.2 software update.]
