StillShot

There's a new app from developer Macadamia Apps that solves one of the biggest problems for photo enthusiasts on the iPhone - the inability to pull out a screenshot from a recorded video. Now you don't have to choose if you want a video or a still photograph.

StillShot lets users select a single frame from a video. In addition, if you're in video mode and want to simply grab a still shot, you can do that without switching to a different mode. The only drawback is that the resolution, as expected, is not quite as strong as if you take a picture using the standard iPhone camera settings.

Nevertheless, it certainly solves a problem, and that's all that you can ask for out of a utility app. StillShot is available for 99 cents from the App Store.
