6×7 (iPhone iPod touch only) is the one of the newest developments in the iPhone photography (iPhoneography) world. Developed by Michael Hardaker, the app is the updated version of 6×6. While the previous version allowed photographers to take square photographs, 6×7 captures high-resolution pictures that are not perfectly square or too stretched out.
6×7 focuses on taking photographs and does not contain unnecessary features such as filters, crop tools or saturation controls. It is simple enough for any user to navigate, but it also contains features that appeal to photographers.
Since 6×7 focuses on simple photography, the app runs quickly and smoothly. The classic camera app captures fantastic pictures quickly and it does not freeze or lag like most iPhone camera apps.
Once 6×7 opens, it allows photographers to choose between color or black and white modes by sliding a small button. After the user chooses a mode, the flash can be set on or off on the main screen as well.
The main screen also contains a pointing finger located in the corner. The finger opens the Settings and Documentation screen. Sliding “Control Sounds” to the “On” position allows the user to listen to retro camera noises when taking a picture.
The other options allow photographers to take dynamic color or black and white photographs, add borders to photos and control the flashgun sound. A great feature located on the Settings and Documentation page is the option to allow photographers to use the volume plus button to take pictures. This is a feature introduced in the iOS 5 upgrade.
When it is time to capture an image, simply hold the iPhone in front of the subject. Clicking on the grid button splits the image, which enables the user to determine the center of the subject.
The center of the grid contains a circular split-level that lines up with the horizon to prevent the photographer from capturing crooked pictures. Tapping on the screen sets the focus and exposure point of interest, double-tapping restores auto-focus and swiping the display with your finger locks the focus and exposure in place.
6×7 has a couple of issues. Photographers cannot preview pictures without closing out of the app. When users want to look at the camera roll, they must open up the Apple Native Photos app on the home screen. 6×7 also does not incorporate the 6×6 format. If photographers wish to take a square 6×6 image, they must close out of the 6×7 app and open 6×6.
I was impressed with 6×7. After taking photos on my iPhone, I did not have to worry about straightening or cropping photos. The color quality was amazing and the app was easy to navigate. I feel inspired to take more photos. 6×7 incorporates excellent features that are well implemented and helpful.

As a non-professional camera lover this would be fun to use! I might get addicted.
