Unlike its stablemate Camera+, this app does not strike you when you first open it as providing a lot of bang for your 99 cents. This impression, however, is misleading. VideoCamera+ has a small number of features with a big impact on the quality the video it shoots. Exposure control is vastly better than the built in camera app. It covers a much broader range and the spot metering is much more accurate. Focus is also better and these qualities are, of course, fundamental to the quality of the result.
In addition to exposure and focus control, this app also allows you to choose from a number of formats offering various degrees of quality and varying storage requirements which allow you to tailor the format to the intended use of the product.
The current version of this app does have one weird quirk. If you turn the LED on before you start to shoot, the program turns it off as it begins to record. If you turn the LED on after you start to shoot, it stays on and works fine. Since I run everything through iMovie before releasing it, editing out the first five seconds doesnt cause me any real pain, but its a slight irritation.
Nevertheless, the proof of the pudding is in the final result and VideoCamera+ produces excellent results.
