App of the Week, Wednesday August 6 2014: Camera FV-5

**App Name: Camera FV-5
Platform: **Android **
Cost: $4 CAD
How long you’ve been using it: 1 year
What you liked about this app: Turns your android phone into a simulated DSLR
What you disliked: Does not come with video feature, which is an additional buy
Improvements you can suggest: None so far
Who would benefit most: **Shutterbugs
Link to App Store / Google Play / etc: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en
Other info you would like to add: This is an app I had to get the moment I switched from Nokia Symbian to an Android phone. Reason being I needed a camera phone where I could use an external button as a shoot button. Using this app you can use one of the volume buttons to take pictures. In addition to that feature came tons of nice surprises. Some of those include variable shutter speeds, built in intervalometer (takes a specified number of pictures every x number of seconds) and many more. Well worth the $4.

The following is a gif of a timelapse video i made using this app’s long exposure + intervalometer features.

Is there a free version of this? I am not big on photography and would like to try the features before I buy it.
