My new favorite iPhone app

So I was perusing the app store when I came across a fanstastic new app called Hipstamatic. It's a camera app that emulates all those old toy cameras like the Holga or Diana.  And believe me when I tell you it is BY FAR the best camera app on the iPhone both for picture quality and presentation (I had the app for 5 minutes and took the test shots you see below).  The interface is fantastic and actually lets you change between different lenses, film types and flashes.  It comes standard with three lenses, two flashes and three types of film.  In addition the to the included kits you can download additional items from the in-app store. Seriously, the best $2 I've ever spent on an app.

Download it here for $1.99 (in-app upgrades are an additional .99 each)
