It was only a few days ago when we spoke about an upcoming ProShot update and today it's readily available for download. The massive update introduces numerous changes and improvements to the app which brought the Windows Phone community a DSLR range of controls for their smartphone cameras.
If you'd like a detailed look at what's new in version 5 and are wondering why the team skipped version 4 altogether, be sure to check out our in-depth look at this ProShot update. Here's a quick-glance changelog:
- Completely redesigned UI and UX to mimic the dials found on DSLRs
- Added front-facing camera support

That's not all as the update brings down the price of the app too, which currently sets consumers back by $0.99 until July 1 (usually $1.99). Also, the team notes on the store listing that new features are on the way, including Windows Phone 8.1 support, the ability to delete images from Camera roll, and more.
