Facebook Camera Hands-On: Cho Chweet Fellows Kosam Inko Tool

[Spartan]

Facebook has kept itself rather busy in the last month or so with such tasks as [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/17/facebook-ipo-is-official-38-per-share-on-sale-nasdaq-fb/"]going public[/url] and purchasing popular photo-sharing app [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/09/facebook-to-buy-instagram/"]Instagram[/url], but that doesn't mean it stopped working on other projects in the meantime. This realization is apparent with the launch of [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/facebook-releases-new-filter-equipped-camera-app-for-iphone-and/"]Facebook Camera[/url], a photo-centric application that chooses to remain separated from the company's general mobile representation. It's still connected with social network, of course, but it brings a fresh user interface and some light Photoshop-esque features to the table: filters, cropping, zoom, twist and so on. We had the opportunity to grab the new app and take it for a spin on an iPhone, so check out the gallery and continue below for our first impressions.

First, let's discuss what Facebook Camera is [i]not[/i]: it's not the firstfruits of Mark Zuckerberg's decision to [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/09/facebook-to-buy-instagram/"]purchase Instagram[/url] for $1 billion, since the acquisition is still [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/ftc-probe-may-delay-facebook-buy-of-instagram/"]under review[/url] by the FTC and likely won't be made final for another six to twelve months. There are a lot of intriguing similarities, but everything in this final product was already well in motion prior to the buyout. This app could, however, provide the newly merged company with a good canvas on which to base future Instragram-like features.
It's also not necessarily new or groundbreaking. There is no shortage of image enhancement apps on iOS, and the unique twist this particular version brings is its natural tie-in with the social network. This also isn't the first time Facebook has attempted to create a spotlight on the photo-sharing aspect of the smartphone experience, as seen in version 1.9 of its Android app. The main difference there, however, was that the camera was only a direct shortcut transplanted onto the home panel, and it lacked any of the filters or other features the new iOS iteration boasts.
As a quick note, the app is compatible with the iPhone 3GS and newer, the fourth-gen iPod touch, iPad 2 (WiFi and 3G versions) and new iPad (WiFi and LTE versions). iPad users, if you're hoping for a cool new user interface that takes advantage of the larger display, prepare to be disappointed -- it just subscribes to the "one app fits all" mentality by using the default iPhone / iPod touch version.

Were we wowed by Facebook Camera? Not really, but we weren't disappointed in it either. Aside from the lack of collaboration between the two apps, we didn't see any bugs or flaws in execution, and Facebook was smart to stick with a user interface similar in style to its primary iOS app. It was nice to have a few extra tweaking options to play around with before zipping our snapshots off into the social networking ether, but the app offers us nothing we couldn't already do in other third-party apps. Ultimately, Facebook is giving you one less reason to consider shelling out a buck or two for a similar program in the App Store, and doing so may entice non-members to set up an account and begin sharing photos.
More importantly, however, is the potential we see in such an app. It's an indication that the company is looking to expand, offering more services and features than a simple social network provides. Facebook Camera is also good preparation for the day the buyout of Instagram is officially approved. We imagine that once these two companies are able to strategize their first moves as one entity, this app could become a solid foundation to establishing a happy life together. It's intriguing that one simple program could lead to so many possibilities, and that adds an element of excitement to Facebook's future.
