ViaCamera compared with the other ways to shoot yourself
Side-by-side comparisons of the ways to take a photo of yourself, including when the alternative is the better choice.
Short answer
Each page here sets ViaCamera next to another way of taking a photo of yourself, such as the iPhone self-timer. Each one
lists its sources and the date we last checked the facts about the alternative. Every comparison also says when the
alternative is the better choice, so you can pick the method that fits the shoot.
Comparisons
- ViaCamera vs the iPhone Self-Timer
The iPhone self-timer fires when the countdown ends; ViaCamera fires when it sees you in frame. When each is the better choice, side by side.
- ViaCamera vs Bluetooth Remote and Apple Watch
A Bluetooth remote or Apple Watch lets you press the shutter from afar; ViaCamera presses it for you. Costs, setup and when each wins.
- ViaCamera vs Hiring a Photographer
When a photographer is worth it and when photos of yourself are enough: cost, direction, editing, privacy and how often you need photos.
