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 really enjoy VIGNETTE

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.

From What I Understand Its A Photosharing Application It Has Numerous Filters It's A Pretty Neat Little App It's Supposed To Come To Android But.. As Always Taking Forever.
Hipster is similar, although not as good as instagram.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hipster&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oaXBzdGVyIl0.
Lightbox, comes with its own camera app too.
Streamzoo
Streamzoo is a great one.
instagram is cool!! hope it comes out soon for us!
I use Flickr. Been using it for a long time. The official app is great too, comes with many filters.
In my opinion, 'Magic Hour' beats out Hipstamatic/Instagram. You can make your own custom filters, but the best part is that it comes with a 'filter market'. Other users upload their custom filters and you can download them, all for free. It's amazing.

Not To Sound Like An Ass:
But I Did Look Around And I Also Stated That It's Supposed To Come Out For Android In Post Number 3
From what I understand, Instagram is actually the combination of an app providing photo filters like lomography cameras, AND a "kind of" social / sharing network to post and share his pictures.
I guess if you're interested in sharing picture, flickr or picasa can do the job, while for photo effects you can use many apps like paper camera, fx camera and nulmerous others...

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.

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.
Thanks, everyone for all the recommendations! Looks like I will be looking into all of these apps to find my android go-to-photo app.
+1 for perfectly clear. It has a great one touch fix.

Pixlr Express works for me : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xpress&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
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.

I agree, best panoramic app. I still think the iOS panoramic app "AutoStitch" is hands down the best panoramic app on any device (except pc) but Photosphere is the best for android
I wouldve kept the 4.2 camera due to all the functionalities it had , full screen view and last but not least photosphere, but had to say goodbye to it cus I couldnt figure out how to automatically save photos to my external sd card :/

There aren't any that have layers or that are "non-destructive" like Photoshop, except PS Touch (which doesn't run on the GNII).
I currently have on my phone: Camera Zoom FX, Pixlr Express, & Fotor. I also have Photo Editor, which is the most "professional" photo app for Android I've seen yet.
I should add that Camera Zoom FX has a very nice and useful camera app that adds the sorely missing feature "touch to focus AND shoot". Can't believe Samsung left that out.
Man honestly.... used a lot of them. I always come back to picsay pro
I use PicSay, pixlr express, photo editor and aviary. It's impossible to just use one for all your photo editing needs. Use the ones you try out and like the most, and combining them you can do a lot of cool stuff on your gn2. Good luck!
TouchRetouch might be what you're looking for...

just a heads up, but the version of PS Touch found on the Note 10.1 tablet actually DOES work on our phones (though to be fair, the controls look tiny, lol). I cant post the backup I have, as that would be warez, but if anyone else has both devices, you should try it out.

I just thought I'd share what I use for photo editing cause I mess with it a lot, but I'm no expert by any stretch. I use a combination of apps and with them it really feels like I can do almost anything with a photo,and a couple of the apps that I use have been listed already. I use QuickPic, Photo Editor (by McGeyver), Snapseed, and Camera Zoom FX. I'm sure QuickPic isn't completely necessary and it's probably just a personal preference, but I like how it let's you pick which editor you'd like to use for the picture you're on. Like somebody else mentioned I also use the app Photo Editor for the majority of editing because it's one of the best I've seen, and recently the Dev added a Clone Tool which really put it over the top imo. Plus I've been in contact with the Dev several times with different suggestions and he's actually implemented some of them since. (he might have been working on them already for all I know so I'm certainly not trying to take credit for anything, but he's definitely open to suggestions which is awesome). Anyway I also use the app Snapseed a lot because it covers a lot of things Photo Editor can't do, like straightening a picture or adjusting ambiance and structure of photos. Snapseed also has a lot of fx that you can add to photos and adjust, and when you combine it with Camera Zoom FX, it seems like there's a million different types of fx to choose from. I'm sure there's a lot of awesome editing apps out there that I've never even seen yet, but I'm still amazed at what I've been able to accomplish just using those apps alone.

Hey all,
The New Google camera is sweet, and it also has "Lens blur" which simulates good depth of field, and is totally adjustable...
Also, I found an app called "Depth Photo live wallpaper" that allows you to turn lens blur photos into 3D LWP...
Check out this short screen recording:
http://youtu.be/-TTOkbkk_3Y
(Make the video full screen, cuz it is too small to see on the phone)
Not a great pic to begin with, but you get the idea. Also, the LWP app was free when I got it from AppGratis a couple days ago, but I'm sure costs something now...
Note: Google camera only works with Kitkat...
Love the kitkat camera
