I’ve used this app for probably a decade. It has everything you need as a cinematographer. Great calculators and converters. Very easy to use and very intuitive. If you are serious about cinematography this is the app to get. ### 5/5 — Precise as always *2026-05-19* Simply put, the reference book. Clear, accurate and concise. Great implementation of a complex database, thanks for the frequent help in my world. ### 5/5 — It’s the coolest 😎 *2026-01-20* Most useful app for cinematographers! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-11-02* I have used this app for many years- an indispensable tool! ### 5/5 — Le couteau suisse du DoP *2025-08-02* Une app qui m’est indispensable en prépa, comme en tournage, notamment pour choisir les bonnes focales selon les tailles de capteurs/pellicules, simuler des aperçus selon la distance avec le sujet et bien d’autres outils. Fréquemment mise à jour avec les dernières caméras. ### 5/5 — Number 1 best cinematography tool *2025-02-01* Top notch tool. The amount of useful features Is incredible. I can’t believe it’s made by one dude. But he’s the dude. ### 5/5 — You are missing out on an amazing app! *2024-04-29* If you have not checked out this awesome app, you are missing an opportunity to solve problems that come up for production. I know this app is unique to the camera dept but I assure you that Production Designers, Producers, Chief Lighting Technicians, Key Grips, Storyboard Artists and anyone involved with pre-viz, can gain very useful info from their “what ifs”. pCam is an essential tool in my e-kit. It has saved me thousands of dollars due to its wealth of data. It enables me to see the future. You must see for yourself. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-04-28* Have owned PCam since the start of my focus pulling career. This app has helped me figure out complicated shots to just last night doing car plate shots with 9 cameras on a array, quickly figured out the hyperfocal distance for all. No need to have a camera implement if you know how to actually use the app. Has helped me countless of time in my Local 600 career. Thanks! ### 5/5 — The one and only app for DOPs! *2024-04-24* Whether you are a beginning cinematographer or an experienced DOP, this app has it all. Just download it - the price is ridiculously low for the knowledge provided. Do yourself a favor and use this app. Learn with it. Just as people read the Bible, DOPs read pCAM Pro. ### 5/5 — I am a lowly Producer... *2023-11-18* ...but I have used this incredibly useful app both on my MacBookPro as well as my iPhone. It's in constant update as new cameras are introduced. There are times when I need technical backup to explain a potential "watch-out" to a client. I'm not technical and that's why I use pCAM Pro. It simplifies very technical information. It's worth every penny. ## Frequently asked questions about pCAM Pro ### What does pCAM Pro - Film+Digital do?
