Selfie vs OldRoll: the film ritual or the dual shot?

Q: Can OldRoll shoot with both cameras at once?

No — OldRoll is a single-camera experience by design. Simultaneous front-and-back capture is Selfie’s core feature.

Q: Which has the more authentic film look?

Both model real cameras with per-camera color and grain; output quality is comparable. OldRoll wraps it in an analog ritual, Selfie applies it to dual capture and video.

OldRoll sells an experience: skeuomorphic film cameras you "load", shoot and develop, with a broad camera collection. Selfie sells a capability: the vintage look applied while shooting with both iPhone cameras at once.

TL;DR: If the analog ritual is the appeal — picking a body, living with the roll — OldRoll does that best. If the result is the appeal and you want to be in the frame too, Selfie shoots film-look photos and videos with the front and back cameras simultaneously, which OldRoll doesn’t do at all.
