BLINK for Windows Phone 8

[Sushubh]

Microsoft releases a new camera app that mimics the features of the newer Android phones. Burst mode.

With BLINK for Windows Phone 8, you'll never miss the best shot. BLINK captures a burst of images before you even press the shutter, and continues to capture pictures after you've taken your shot. It’s no problem if you press the shutter a few seconds too early or too late. With BLINK, a simple finger swipe lets you find the perfect shot. Advanced image stabilization technology from Microsoft Research removes camera shake and lets you focus on the important parts of the scene.


What they do not mention in the app description is that the photos are much lower in resolution.
