Appcam is a new project promising to introduce a new operating system for cameras. Similar to the iPhone, Appcam will introduce "camera-apps" which will be controlled with a touchscreen. Here are some of the advantages listed on their website:
The Appcam is easier to handle
The Appcam is faster to handle
The User-Interface is clearly- arranged
There is only one operation logic
While using the Appcam it won’t longer be necessary to go through complicated camera-menus and submenus
The arrangement of the control- buttons on the Appcam’s user interface is no longer set by the producer. Each control can be individually configured, to the specific liking of the user or depending on the shooting conditions.
Handling and configuration of the Appcam are intuitive and very easy- studying the manual will not be necessary.
