Selfie vs Dazz Cam: dual capture or the deepest filter shelf?

Last updated:

Dazz Cam is the category king of vintage camera apps, and it earned it: a huge shelf of cameras and lenses with lovingly detailed film emulation. Selfie plays a different game — vintage filters plus simultaneous front-and-back capture.

TL;DR: For the deepest catalogue of vintage cameras, lenses and accessories to browse, Dazz Cam. For shooting the vintage look with both cameras at once — you and the scene in one exposure — Dazz Cam simply doesn’t have the mode; Selfie is built around it.

Choose Dazz Cam when…

  • You want the largest possible collection of camera bodies, lenses and accessory effects to experiment with.
  • You shoot one camera at a time and the filter itself is the whole point.
  • You need Android.

Choose Selfie when…

  • You want yourself in the shot — dual front-and-back photos and videos are the core feature, not an add-on.
  • You shoot reactions, couples shots, travel or concerts where both perspectives matter.
  • You want the film look applied to both cameras in the same exposure.

Frequently asked questions

Can Dazz Cam shoot with both cameras at once? No — Dazz Cam shoots one camera at a time. Simultaneous front-and-back capture is Selfie’s core feature.

Are Selfie’s filters as good? Selfie models 50+ individual cameras with per-preset color response and grain applied at capture. Dazz Cam’s catalogue is larger; whether the difference matters depends on how many variations you actually use.

Can I use both apps? Sure — plenty of people keep a filter-first app and a dual-capture app. If you only keep one and you shoot yourself + the scene, dual capture is the harder feature to live without.
