Hi, have been using stock sgs camera. Its okay.. but was wondering if there's a better camera app out there.
When I had my HTC magic, camera 360 really improved the quality of the photos.
But when I compare the photos I took on my sgs from the stock camera app vs camera 360, I kinda prefer the stock camera colours.

Have you tried Vignette.It has loads of different settings.
I've only tried the demo version of vignette. And that does not allow the 5mpx resolutions to be used. Besides the array of settings, does vignette actually improve the quality of the photos taken? Thanks.

The full version of Vignette does indeed take better quality images, but it takes significantly more time to process the photos.
i just tried vignette and the quality was near enough the same .. refunded it cos it wasnt worth the money
the camera is the only thing i dont like about this phone
Have you tried the Photoshop app? Its not exactly a camera application but it has lots of settings for touching photos up afterwards. Maybe one of the filters will give you the effect you require
I too would pay for a real pro app. Something that will take higher res panorama shots and something with a real HDR function. By real I mean not a simulation and not tone mapping from the gallery pics. There's a app for the iDevices that works wonders on the iP4. Tried everything so far, still waiting.
Try: camera 360 pro

360 pro simulates HDR and simulates a lot of other stuff, we need a app that actually takes better shots etc. At least that's my experience with it.
The camera apps on the android market are really sub-par.
I don't use the camera much to begin with, but an app as good as Hipstamatic or Camera Pro like on the iPhone would be great.
Vignette has an ugly interface and has average picture quality, and Retro Camera has horrible picture quality.
Does anyone know of a good camera app? I have seen many on the market, but after tests, I haven't found a decent one. The one the G2 comes with is a pain. I have done some googleing as well but haven't found a decent one yet.
Just wondering
Thanks!

I like camera 360
I prefer the stock camera app for just snapping quick pics, I like the custom ones with more options like in CM roms though.
For taking quick artsy shots, Retro Camera is dead simple, Vignette and Camera 360 offer more options but not great for quick shots.

I like to snap pictures of friends and sometimes during sports games. I usually just deal with the stock app, but after last night of the app messing up every picture, I want to find a new app. I really like Vignette and Camera 360, it's just hard to pick one. Thanks for the app suggestions.
It would be nice if the stock cam would focus with out wobbling around and every picture I take has spots in it pink an fuzzy if you zoom in just a little I use snap shot pro now its in beta but its better than stock far from HDQ

I heard that, I was wishing someone would just rip the app though. I'll give Snap Shot Pro a look.
EDIT: I can't seam to find Snapshot pro on the market.
I too would like to find a camera app for quick shots. One that used the volume control for zooming!
I'm running snap photo pro beta for g2 and can say its good.

I'd like a camera app that shoots HDR photos (more than one photo taken at different exposures) since camera 360 has a simulate HDR but not a real one.
vignette is the best one. It is more of a pro camera. Camera 360 is good for the effects.
Vignette has settings to which it allowes you to adjust your camera to your likeing.
my current setup
when activation, click on the settings and check all minus "save originals" just for my prefference.
then
click on the middle icon which is on the right side and use these settings
auto
auto
auto
center
auto
one click to the left for brightness
2 clicks to the right on contrast
saturation is normal or one click to the left
sharpness is 2 clicks to the left from the s in sharpness
use superfine in 5 megapixel and default camera folder save. save as date and time.
those are my settings. looks better than camera 360. NOt only that, it integrates well with the software from the phone and you even have a video button.
Is "Camera Magic" available for the G2? I have it on the G1 (running Donut)
It's my fav camera app so far, the white balance adjustments on it work extremely well.

Hi guys. Which in your opinion is the best all round camera app for the Desire? The stock camera I have is ok but am sure there are apps out there which will improve the camera so am asking for your recommendations.
Many thanks
Anyone? lol
I've only really ever used the stock camera to be honest.
Camera360 is quite good in my opinion... Lots of options.
i've tried most of the Cam apps on the market ... and the Stock is the best and fastest.
Cheers for your help guys Will have a look at camera360 and give it a go.
I've tried a few camera apps, but stock Camera application on Froyo is the best and simpliest.
If you want better photos, try shot the picture without battery cover!

Don't bother unless you want cheap/crappy effects. Best thing you can do is to set up you desire camera properly. Just play with the sharpness, contrast etc settings. And for effects use something like pic pro or photoshop express.

My old post with setting. Fair bit of noise, but that's because lighting is far from adequate for desires sensor. You get nice and vivid colours in day time. Only thing, sharpness has to be +1, +2 is a bit too much.

I just pushed my lens cover out completely. Get a little bit of dust, but nothing that can't be sorted out with a good blow and wipe.
stick to the stock camera app! it's the best!
I use Camera360 and Vignette, both for pretty nice effects. I rarely use the stock camera, because even with the right settings (posted above) pictures still look a bit crappy to me.
I tried nearly all of the camera apps out of the market. The best one in my opinion is "Camera Advance". It has a user interface and settings like you find on the compact digital cameras and makes better pics than the stock one. It has a good autofocus function and a great preview after taking a picture.

The stock camera app. really is the best imo. If you want to add some post production effects then something like Camera360 will do the job.
I like lgCameraPro IMHO it is more usable.

Hi Guys,
I know there are similar threads, BUT the ONE X does have a very special camera, and I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with any specific Camera Apps yet?
Here are a few that I've tried so far, but nothing too special to be honest:
1. Camera 360
2. Paper Camera
3. Stock Camera App
So far Camera 360 is probably the best, but I've heard good things about Camera FV-5 and Camera Zoom FX?
When you say camera 360 is probaly the best, in what way?
Lower compression would be great, but I wonder how much the imagesense chip will restrict this and can third party camera apps bypass this process. I have tried camera fv-5 and there does seem to be a little less compression, which allows for slightly more detail, also you can save in png, but there is no zoom function.
All third party apps bypass ImageSense. I love Camera360. Way less compression, and the available filters are pretty cool too, better than Instagram~
I use now Camera ICS.
This one can disable the compression (at least it says so) and indeed the files get much bigger (100% in jpeg mode instead of 90 or 95%)
And since it still is JPG, you still can use the EXIF info.
I tried some others, but they did miss options or did also compress or the lighting was worse, or .......
I've tried a lot of 3rd party camera apps and, honestly, I find the stock HTC app to be the best.
Camera FV-5 is very good though.
Camera360 was great until some background process started to overheat My HOX, and I uninstalled it..

4. HTC Camera

Ive just been using stock ive had no problems with it
Stock is better than camera zoom fx, that thing may have bigger files but it is grainy in low light and over exposed everywhere else (unless you like that).
I can get better pictures using stock and the opening gallery and clicking that edit button.
If you click edit > effects then edit at the top you can manually edit all the filtering

The thing about the camera apps is that you can control exposure way more than you can with the stock app. If you were serious about taking pictures on the HOX, you'd be fiddling with every setting there is Stock camera definitely has the better metering, but I still believe that image quality wise, there's still way too much compression. I'll try to do a comparison some day.
Hey all, I'm in the search for photo editing apps equivalent to that of iOS apps Camera+ or Snapseed. I'm a recent convert to Android and purchased the Samsung Galaxy S3. Any recommendations?

i've been using photo editor. has alot of functions, and a simple ui. although all i ever really use it for is conversions and cropping
ProCapture is the best comparison to Camera+ that I've found. For editing and such, I use a combination of Aviary and just standard Photo Editor. The only thing I haven't found is a good polarizer filter to really remove the haze and make the blue skies pop.

Camera 360 and Avary are great. Plix o matic is reasonably good if you don't get carried away with the filters.

I was just having this conversation (with myself) the other day.
I like to take pictures and pre-filter them (very mildly) before posting them on Instagram or other services.
So, the best applications that I have seemed to have found are the following, for mild editing and filter application:
Snaptastic - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcurrent.snaptastic&hl=en
Aviary - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aviary.android.feather&hl=en
Vignette - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.neilandtheresa.NewVignette&hl=en
CameraZOOM FX - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom
Good luck!
One of the things I REALLY REALLY miss about the iPhone is Camera+! :/
That was the only App I needed on the iPhone, it was so good. The Clarity feature most of the times created a awesome picture, I havent found a single app on android that has a effect like "clarity" on Camera+
Maybe the closest thing is the Beautify effect on "BeFunky", try it, its free, and it has a lot of filters also, I bough the Paid version but it seems to be too different I didnt like it, so I just use that free one...

I am a big camera geek. I have tried just about every camera app on the Android market and I do miss some of the iOS apps. I came from having the iPhone 3, iphone 4 and iphone 4s to switching to the S3.
From all the different apps I have tried here is my opinion of the apps you NEED if you like photography.
1. Perfectly Clear - This app is also on iOS and will adjust a picture automatically. You just load a picture and it will fix the contrast and everything else. While some apps have an auto correct feature, this one blows them out of the water.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...h.perfectlyclear&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
2. Magic Hour - It's like InstaGram on crack. Whereas most filter apps come with a preset amount of filters Magic Hour lets you download filters for free or create your own for free to use later. You can get thousands upon thousands of filters. Everything from the subtle to the crazy overboard ones. You can even "pull" filters from pictures you already put through it in order to use that filter on another pic. Great for getting the same look if you did filtered a picture long ago.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwiple.mhm&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
3. TouchRetouch - This app lets you "magically remove" things from pictures. It's pretty crazy how well it works. Photoshop has a tool that works just like this and the fact this works on a mobile device is awesome. You can't erase HUGE things from photos but it can intelligently remove things like power lines, background items and more.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advasoft.touchretouch&hl=en
You can try the ones I have in my thread here...there's a ton of fun ones

Agreed. Camera+ was my go-to-app for photo editing and the "clarity" feature was pretty amazing.

I am one of those people that LOVES taking pictures on my phone and I have tried just about every Photo and Panoramic app on the Play Store. I had a iPhone 4 before I switched over to S3 and at the beginning I was scared because I was letting go of some really good photo apps.
Now though, I think I might have found the ones that fit my photography style perfectly.
1: Magic Hour. Think of it as instagram with unlimited filters. It has a "Filter Store" where you can download other filters that people have made using the app. There are THOUSANDS of these. Thankfully you can search by newest, most popular, etc. This is like Instagram on crack. LOVE IT! Also, if you run a photo through Magic Hour and save it, then weeks later you want to run another photo through the same filter but forgot which it was, you can load up the photo you saved and it'll figure out which filter was used and you can throw that on to another picture. You can also mark filters as favorites, etc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwiple.mhm
2: Perfectly Clear. With just one button this app will make your photos look so much better. They had this one on the iPhone as well and I'm glad it carried over. It fixes saturation, contrast, color, brightness and it does it all better than any other app I have found
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.worldiety.athentech.perfectlyclear
3: TouchReTouch. Sometimes you take a great photo and happen to notice after the fact that there is something in the background or powerlines you wish weren't in the photo. With TouchReTouch you just highlight want you want removed from the photo and it smartly removes it. It is a lot like using the smart eraser in Photoshop except you can do it on your phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advasoft.touchretouch
4: AfterFocus. After focus simulates what a DSLR camera can do where the foreground is clear and then the background is blurry (not in focus). You just use your finger and select the foreground, then select the mid ground (optional), then select the background. It will then very realistically blur the background so your picture gets a great DSLR look to it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motionone.afterfocus_pro
Usually I'll take a photo, edit things out of it I don't want with TouchReTouch, then depending on the photo I'll run it through AfterFocus to get the DSLR look and then Perfectly Clear to make it look the best possible. Finally, depending on what I want the photo to look like I'll apply a filter. And if things go ok then I get pictures like this: http://trukatu.com/baby.jpg
As a bonus, I should mention that HDR Camera+ is one of the best HDR apps. Most HDR apps takes 3-4 pictures and combines the brightnesses to make one awesome looking pic. But they all require you to remain almost perfectly still. HDR Camera+ is the only one that takes multiple photos, analyzes the brightnesses and combines that all over the first image only. So even if the subject moves or your hands moves or something, it still looks great.
