Viewfinder Preview vs PreRoll

Viewfinder Preview is an iPhone app for previewing camera framing for any combination of camera and lens. Instead of spending all that time setting up your big camera, just choose your desired film/sensor size and focal length in the app and point the iPhone camera at what you want to photo to verify framing. If you are happy with the framing then you can get the big camera out. The app has a large database of camera sensors details and film formats but if the format you desire isn’t there you can add your own custom format. The app is targeted at stills photographers or film makers working in either film or digital. If you don’t have your big camera with you, Viewfinder Preview is still great for photo sketching, location scouting or story boarding. The app includes - Customisable menus so you can include the film/sensor formats and focal lengths you care about. - A fully configurable light meter. - You can take photos with it, so you have a record of shots you were framing. - Photos taken with the app include additional data that describe the film format, focal length and lighting meter settings at the time the shot was taken - Add notes to your photos - A photo gallery for viewing photos taken with the app which also displays the additional data - Share images in emails, messages - Create albums of photos from the same project, trip etc - Create PDF documents of albums - Film stock emulation - Wide angle lens adapter support

PreRoll is a countdown camera app that captures automatically — so you're always in the shot. Set a timer, tap Start, and PreRoll opens the camera with a full-screen countdown overlay. When it hits zero, it takes the photo or begins recording the video. No shutter lag, no rushing back to the camera, no wasted footage of you just getting ready. HOW IT WORKS - Photo mode: one shot is taken at the end of the countdown and saved to your gallery - Video mode: recording starts automatically at zero — you tap Stop when done, then the clip saves COUNTDOWN OPTIONS - Presets: 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s - Custom timer: set anything from 1 to 120 seconds CAPTURE FEATURES - Full-screen camera preview with countdown overlay - Per-second haptic ticks so you feel every second (can be disabled) - Rear LED pulses during countdown as a visual cue - Solid torch mode for rear video — light stays on while recording - Photo flash: Off, Auto, or On - Front and rear camera support - Screen stays awake during capture - Countdown cancels automatically if you leave the app SIMPLE AND FOCUSED PreRoll does one thing well. No subscriptions, no clutter — just a smarter way to capture yourself on camera.
