f/64 is a camera with one promise: what the sensor saw is what you keep. PURE RAW Every shot saves a true Bayer RAW (DNG) next to the HEIC. No AI, no computational tricks, no Deep Fusion, no Smart HDR. Your negative, untouched. FULL MANUAL Shutter speed, ISO, exposure bias, focus and white balance, each on its own precise dial with real photographic stops. Lock any parameter, keep your settings between sessions. TOOLS THAT MATTER - Focus peaking, zebra stripes and a focus loupe - Live luminance histogram - All lenses including the 8x sensor crop - RAW exposure brackets (hold the shutter) - Subject tracking, AE/AF lock, horizon level - 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9 framing; the DNG always keeps the full sensor - Optional watermark and an Instagram-ready story card - Optional geotagging QUIET DESIGN A monochrome interface that stays out of your way, rich haptics and signature sounds. Photos go straight to your library; the app collects nothing about you. FREE, HONESTLY No ads, no subscriptions, no locked features, ever. If f/64 saves you a shot you love, there is a voluntary tip jar in the settings. Named after Group f/64, Ansel Adams and friends, who believed a photograph should be sharp, honest and made by hand.
Kiso Camera

Professional control. Reliable capture. Kiso is built on the promise this category keeps breaking: the shot you took is the shot you keep, and what you see before you press capture is the truth. Every frame is written to Kiso's own storage before your photo library is asked for anything, and that copy is only released once the library has accepted it. The "saved" checkmark appears at that point, not at the shutter. If a call, a crash, or a thermal shutdown interrupts a capture, the frame is still on disk and Kiso hands it back to you on the next launch. Take intentional photos with direct control over exposure, focus, lens selection, and format. Capture in RAW and ProRAW. Shoot video in ProRes and HEVC with the frame rate and stabilization you chose, not the ones the app decided on. Made for street, travel, portrait, landscape, and low-light photography. No noisy dashboards. No gimmicks. Shooting, saving and recovery are free forever, with no account and no sign-in, and so is timelapse. Kiso Pro adds the monitoring instruments, screen-off recording, ProRes and ProRAW, and lossless export. Just a camera that helps you make the shot you had in mind, and proves it kept it. Kiso Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: f/64 at none against Kiso Camera's 3. Kiso Camera's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
