Frame every shot against classic guides — rule of thirds, golden ratio, Fibonacci spiral, golden triangles, diagonals, and a draggable vanishing point — drawn live on your viewfinder and aligned exactly to the captured photo. • Precision horizon level with haptic lock • Tap to focus, pinch to zoom, 4:3 / 16:9 / 1:1 • Full-quality capture, ProRAW (DNG) support • Guides are visual only — or burn them in, your choice • Pay once, own it forever.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: DSLR Camera at Free against PhiFrame's $2.99. DSLR Camera also leads on ratings volume (655 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.5). PhiFrame's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
