A Better Camera review - Yahoo News

It combines a laser-camera sensor head with a video monitor to allow a machine operator to control from a remote location both the horizontal and vertical positions of a SAW (submerged arc welding) head. The digital version uses a colour touchscreen as the video monitor. Combined with a new, high resolution digital colour camera in the sensor head, it provides much improved image quality and noise immunity, together with many new features. Bob Beattie, Metas MD, commented, As an entry-level product, our MetaView system provides a user-friendly way of getting machine operators away from the welding head. At the same time, it actually improves their control over the position of the head in the joint, leading to better weld quality. Just as improved health and safety concerns rightly discourage operators from working at heights, so there is an analogous need for a system to allow welding machine operators to work remotely from a safe distance. In addition to providing a better, less noisy image, the digital MetaViews functionality includes digital zoom, pan and tilt, enabling the operator to optimise the image to his or her preference. New also is the ability to add a second camera to provide an overview of the weld head to complement the detailed positional view provided by the MetaView sensor. On behalf of:

Pros Significant improvement over default camera: With A Better Camera, you can take clearer and more vivid images than with your default camera app. The app captures light and color better and renders finer details more clearly. Packed with features: While keeping the UI simple, the app brings you many options found on digital cameras, such as ISO levels, white balance, different grid types, focusing choices, and several shooting modes for all occasions. These enable you to fine-tune your photos to maximize quality. Ad-free: Most other camera apps that offer a quality boost to your photos come with nagging ads. This one is a pleasant exception: it's ad-free. Cons Slightly awkward UI: The UI's icons are unappealing, and it packs all features into a single sliding drawer. Nagging editor: Whenever you go into the gallery to view your photos, you are prompted to install a photo editor from the same developer. Premium features: You have to pay to unlock features like Smart Multishot and High-Resolution Panorama.
