Microsoft launches its own camera app for iOS – Microsoft Pix

Microsoft Pix is a bit like having a pro photographer in your phone—always tweaking settings, selecting your best shots, and enhancing each one. It also captures frames before you even tap on the shutter, so you won’t miss the best moment.

People are our most important photo subjects, so when a face is detected, Microsoft Pix automatically adjusts settings and after-shot enhancements. It also lets you compare the before and after, to ensure everyone looks their best.

Well the example shots look impressive but the real proof’s in the pudding. I’ve got it installed and for the 5 minutes I’ve played with it so far it’s living up to the hype. Images are automatically adjusted for light levels and it lets you see just how badly your shot would’ve been by giving you a compare button to toggle between the two.

Will it ultimately replace the default Camera app for me? Time will tell.
