FieldCam gives your iPad all the functionality of a Victorian plate camera (only with worse photos) There aren’t many iPad photo-taking apps yet, although there are plenty for editing. This may be because the iPad 2 is so new. It may also be because the iPad’s camera is so awful, an embarrassment along the lines of putting a pair of drum brakes onto Alberto Contador’s race bike. One thing is certain, though. The lack of apps isn’t due to Apple’s effort being too good to beat. When people say that the iPad is “just a big iPhone,” they’re talking about the built-in camera app. Even the shutter button is impossible to reach when taking a snap. Enter FieldCam. The app, from the people who brought the square-picture shooting 6X6 to the iPhone, does two things. First, it puts two shutter buttons under your thumbs, in both landscape and portrait orientations. Second, it turns your iPad into a Victorian-era Field Camera.
