The Hipstamatic works on a small lens window and this makes the full capture area a bit murky making the user feel that he/she is working on the Holga of early 18th century. There are mobile applications that can make the process of photo sharing very easy through the application of filters. Some applications of this kind are Picplz and Instagram.
