Best App for the Digital Camera Photo Trend
For the digicam trend, a tool that actually relights the photo with a hard compact-camera flash beats a filter app that only adds noise and a colour curve. Look for a specific "digital camera" or point-and-shoot style, full-resolution output, and identity preservation.
Filter apps vs. relighting apps
Filter apps (1888, Dazz-style) overlay grain, light leaks and a colour grade. They're fast and look right at a glance. Relighting apps rebuild the actual light, so the flash highlight and background falloff are real, not painted on. For the digicam flash look specifically, the relight matters — see digital camera vs. phone camera flash.

What's the difference between "digicam" and "disposable" apps?
Digicam apps target early digital cameras — cooler, sharper, punchier. Disposable apps target film — warmer, softer, grainier. Some apps do both as separate presets.
