While today there are so many high-end cameras from major companies like Canon, Nikon, and Leica, the story of instantly capturing reality started with the introduction of instant polaroid cameras way back in 1948. Now, I completely agree that modern smartphones produce a thousand times better pictures than the retro cameras. However, sometimes, it is not entirely about the pictures but the experience of capturing the picture with some of the iconic cameras of the past. Enter “NOMO”. An app that can simulate the experience of capturing pictures with classic film cameras from the early days.
So, after the installations, when you open up the app, you will find a UI similar to the design of a Fujifilm Instax Mini polaroid camera. This is the “INS W” camera that you get for free by default.
Now, after you click a picture with the “INS W” camera, the picture will take some time to develop, just like a polaroid film. And I was so surprised to find out that while the picture is developing, we can open the film and shake the phone to speed up the developing process. That is insanely cool!
There is even a camera called “2007” that brings the camera UI of the original iPhone to your mobile device.
