Reviews

Superb Photo and Cinematography App!
Macon rider

I’ve reviewed this app since I got it on me iPhone 3GS in 2007, I think, and it is still updated and the old reliable! Keep up the great work!


Great app!
geekco

Great app
darklighthouse

I've used pCam for quite a while. A great companion for photos or videographers alike. Full of feature and practical, useful info. Highly recommend!


My favorite 'tography' app
Jim144

Been using for a couple of years for video/photo and love it. An indispensable tool for me.

The BEST
Raymundooo8

I have been a PCam user sine the Palm Pilot. This is my go to app and I use it frequently. Highly Recommend.


Always a First Round Draft Pick
Fauxmantic

Are you also "the crew"? Do yourself a favor and make pCAM your right hand man.


Thorough and powerful
BrianRoberg

I do a lot less guesswork now that I have this app. The field of view calculator, with its visual preview, has been worth the cost of the app all by itself. No more renting extra lenses just because I'm not sure what focal length I need for a shot! If any part of your income depends on your getting the technical aspects of photography/cinematography correct, I don't think you'll regret purchasing this app.


Indispensable app for ACs, DoPs and camera people.
KupalaUno

This app is essential for ACs, DoPs and filmmakers generally. These tools used to cost hundreds of dollars and fill an ACs kit. Now you can have it all in your back pocket and calculations are made really easy. This is a must have app on my phone and I use it regularly for for work. Also, it helps me figure out and plan for shoots. An essential toolkit.


The Swiss Army Knife of Photo/Film Apps
Visionsmith TV

Fantastic app that I've used for years and through multiple iterations. If you're a filmmaker, photographer, camera operator, AC, DP, gaffer..... Buy it!
