Nokia on an updating roll, bumps PhotoBeamer, Smart Shoot and Cinemagraph

Nokia is spending the morning getting more updates out for Windows Phone consumers and the company doesn't appear to be halting as we've just got word that PhotoBeamer, Smart Shoot and Cinemagraph have all been bumped to new versions. So what's new in the latest releases? 

Cinemagraph

Unfortunately, as per usual, Nokia has failed to supply change logs for the new releases. We've had a play around with version 3.0.5, which is a sizeable jump from the last release, and have found the app to be notably more responsive. What's interesting with this release is the ability to add effects to the recorded footage, including silver, sepia or black and white.

We've previously touched on support on the way for Windows Phone 7.8 hardware, but this doesn't appear to be included. If you've noticed anything new in the latest version of Cinemagraph, be sure to hit us up in the comments. You can download Cinemagraph from the Nokia Collection on the Windows Phone Store.

Smart Shoot

Smart Shoot

Smart Shoot is an interesting app for Lumia Windows Phones. Version 2.1.5.5 is also a slight mystery (notice a trend here?) with no change log and while we've had a good play around with the app, we haven't come across any new features or functionality. Again, should you be an avid user and notice anything new, be sure to shout at us in the comments.

You can download Smart Shoot from the Nokia Collection on the Windows Phone Store.

Would you be at all surprised if we were to suggest we're not entirely sure what's new in the latest update for PhotoBeamer? Version 1.1.5.0 is a minor jump from 1.1 we covered back in January so we'll assume that we're looking at minor improvements and bug fixes.

You can download PhotoBeamer from the Nokia Collection on the Windows Phone Store (WP7.x version - hasn't been updated).
