Pocket Digicam

For Android & iPhone · by FightTech VN

A pocket camera from 2003, in your phone.

Pick a camera, look at the little LCD, press the shutter. Pocket Digicam does the rest: the old file size, the JPEG crunch, the colour, the flash and an orange LED date in the corner. No filter strip and nothing to tweak.

Every picture here is a Wiki Loves Monuments winner from Wikimedia Commons, developed in the app through the camera named above it. Credits and licences are under each screen.

Eight cameras to carry

Each one is an invented model with its own look, body colour and nameplate. Swipe the dial on the camera back to change cameras; the LCD shows the look live before you shoot.

Mochi 32

Pocket CCD

2003 · 3.2 MP · 4:3

Cool, crunchy colour, hard highlights and an orange date.

Sunny 35

35 mm point & shoot

1994 · 3:2

Warm tones, soft shadows, grain and a gentle flash.

Paper 27

Single-use flash cam

1998 · 3:2

Bright centre, dark soft corners, green in the greys and a light leak.

Pop Instant

Square instant print

1999 · 1:1

Soft, milky colour on a thick white border.

Flip VGA

Flip-phone camera

2005 · 0.3 MP · 4:3

PRODV-99

PROLuxe 35

Premium 35 mm compact

1996 · 3:2

Crisp, deep blacks, fine grain and a red date.

Point, shoot, done

The buttons on the back are the ones the old cameras had, and nothing more.

Flash

Off, auto or on. The back camera fires the torch and adds the on-camera flash look; the front camera lights the screen white for a selfie flash.

Date

A seven-segment LED date stamp, in year-month-day, month-day-year or day-month-year order. Tap DATE to leave it off.

Timer & flip

A 3 or 10 second self-timer with beeps, and the front or back camera.

Import & playback

Develop an older photo through any camera with the system photo picker, or try one of the eight built-in sample photos, all Wiki Loves Monuments winners. Then flip through, share or open your shots from the thumbnail.

Photo booth

Flip the switch on top of the camera from PHOTO to BOOTH, and one press of the shutter becomes a booth session. New in the Android app.

Four frames

Each frame waits for a 3 second countdown with beeps, time for a new pose. The front camera is ready by default and FLIP still works. Press the shutter again to stop.

One print

The frames go through the camera on the dial and are printed together with the LED date and "POCKET DIGICAM" along the bottom, then saved as a single picture.

Strip or grid

The classic 1×4 strip on white paper is free. With Pro, print a 2×2 grid, or pick black, pink or lilac paper.

Free, with an optional Pro

Everything you need to shoot is free, with no time limit and unlimited shots. Pro is an in-app purchase through Google Play or the App Store; the app shows the store's price in your currency.
