Best camera app?

I'm not that completely bothered about effects, I just want an app that is better than stock, does anyone know of one?
Thanks.

Ucam is my favorite, I've been using it for months and pro version is awesome! :beer:

Ucam has lot of options, it's a really underrated app...
By the way I don't think there is an app which will give you better quality results than the stock one.
You just have to compare the image quality of the preview (i mean before taking a photo/video) of the stock camera with any other thirdy app. Except the stock one, all of them are showing some kind of granulated image

I've tried them all, but none of then have a touch-to-focus. I have seen one called Camera FV-5, which is more professional, but I'm wondering if anyone here would be so kind to test it to see if it's worth the price tag.
Thank you.

Procapture gives you the capability to shot with volume rocker (only pro version)
And another good app is fast burst camera

I'm using it right now and you get so many options! Totally worth it, i've wasted so much money trying out good camera apps and the best ones are HDR Camera+, Afterfocus and Camera FV-5 being the best one.

I've settled on this one. I'm no professional but this should have been the stock app in my opinion.

Try Vignette , it have few nice Features

Try LG Camera I've always found that one pretty good

JB stock camera

Question always should be:
What types of images do you want to take. For just party-shots you wont need a paid app...

Try using camera zoom FX. it has touch to focus and pinch to zoom. I am using it on my 4.1.1 ROM

Try Camera360, it free with many effect and custom

+1 for LGCamera (lot of options, fix for bad chip recording for S2) and default JB stock camera (nice GUI and features)...

I find the Jelly Bean stock camera to be excellent, as if you fix the focus it captures pretty much instantly.

I mainly use Procapture and Camera ZOOM. Both are great.

Camera ZOOM & ProCapture +1

Camera Zoom FX

Camera FV-5, nothing matches the level of control you can take over your phones camera, this app is what is keeping me from investing in a point-and-shoot (proud owner of a 5DMKII DSLR, but it is a lot to have with you all the time). If you know a little more about taking pictures than point-and-shoot, check it out.

Camera zoom is the best. The stable shoot algorithm is perfect for low light shoot. Like image stabilization on steroids

I was reading the features and seeing all the recommendations in this thread.....well just bought that app!
I will throw my opinion in on Procapture for wide shots since I haven't gotten as good of shots out of the stock camera. And I really enjoy Vignette for the ability to edit pictures later AND the devs there are top notch, any problem I have ever had they have taken care of me quick and easy.

Stock camera is the most stable.

[Q] Best camera app other than stock?

I am running cm10 nightlies on my sgs3 and was wondering what app is a good replacement to aosp camera app? It doesn't take as good of photos as the touchwiz camera on stock, the light balance is too dark and flash gives it a weird hue. I love cm10 but need a better camera app and from what I gather, touchwiz camera apk only works with touchwiz ROMs. Suggestions?

Yes, the AOSP camera sucks big time and the interface is super, extra, ugly and outdated.
you can try lgcamera

For the majority of people, myself included, the stock Camera is just fine for PointAndShoot. I've even purchased CameraZoom when it was on sale, but prefer the simplicity of the default camera. "Best Shot", "Smile Shot", and the other TouchWiz gimmicks are almost never used.

Well I actually don't use any of the gimmick features of the stock touch with camera app, the thing that I liked about it was how it handled low light situations and getting the true color. I will try LG camera.
* I also purchased camera zoom on sale and am currently trying it out.
Any more suggestions? I don't need gimmicks and I don't need photo editing, I just need a very good basic photo taking ability

The best one I've used (and I've tried a bunch!) is the camera app that was included with the Serenity rom....which i think is just the ported Note II app. If you can get your hands on that, try it!

When I was on CM10 I used ProCapture. It lacks HDR which is a big deal for me, but it's pretty good apart from that. The TouchWiz camera is one of the main reasons I switched back.

i have cm10 and i use camera zoom fx it work just fine for me

Yeah...back to touchwiz myself... I am sorry but cyanogen mod just can't equal the picture quality of stock camera... I love aosp...but I have found a good compromise... use a touchwiz rom, use a good aosp launcher and keyboard, and messaging and gallery.... and you get to keep your good camera! Though on another note I am somewhat disappointed with the aosp keyboard now....the Swype is cool but just isn't add accurate as I would like... actual Swype I never have to correct... stock 4.2 keyboard is always getting my words wrong...

wow.
I find the AOSP camera interface great.
are you suggesting the tw camera app is more modern and less ugly interface, because it doesnt look that way here.
For the past week I had aokp on my phone, I was trying to make it work, and had used the camera a dozen or so times to take photos of the weather. I was pretty happy with it initially.
But then yesterday the camera started crashing and not working, a reboot made it work for exactly one photo so not good enough, so I switched back to neatrom (TW). Now by comparison this camera seems a lot worse in functionality. Is probably 70% configurable options missing, seems slower, so the menu responds slower and the focus is pretty bad in comparison it takes a while to focus and then doesnt stay in focus. On top of this I see can only have limited shortcuts at once meaning all the options are never accessible at same time, have to choose which shortcuts. I think the s3 TW camera app is poor, and am currently looking for AOSP camera to put on TW (but seems noone has bothered except chaos?) but would AOSP camera app still be unstable on a TW rom.

I like camera JB+... It does have a similar UI to the aosp camera though (I think I'm one of the few people who love the aosp camera UI).

A no shutter lag camera app?

Is there a camera app or mod that has zero shutter lag? I've already tried fast burst camera but it doesn't have a lot of features.

As far as I know, our camera hardware isn't that capable in taking zero hitter lag photos. Fast Burst camera is an exception due to some workarounds with video I think.
Not sure but I don't think you'll find another zero lag camera app. You might want to buy Fast Burst camera for more features.
Hope I helped :good:

FastBurst camera is good. The quality is not quite the same, but it is fast.

You could try Focal. It is now in the play store. It's the quickest I,ve used by far.

Please post questions in the Q&A section

Can anyone recommend a camera app?

Okay so I started using the stock ROM but then I moved over to cyanogen for a little while only to find out that the camera in cyanogen was really bad so I move back to stock and I'm not saying I regret the decision but I really would love to go back to cyanogen so I was wondering if anyone might know of a camera app that is comparable to the stock app for this device any help would be appreciated!

yes I was using focal but i cannot have a buggy camera. im a photographer and I use my phone a lot for scouting for shoots rather than carrying around my main gear. need something that will replace the cm10 sh*t camera with good features and functionality as the stock camera on the s4.

ProCapture!

There's an .apk for the Google Edition camera over in the Themes/Apps section. I use it alongside the stock camera and it's every bit as good I think.

I disagree with the assessment that AOSP camera is sh*t. Kudos to the developers - it's pretty fast and very, very usable, and the swipe to gallery is great (haven't seen that in any other party camera app). I'm picky about the camera.
That said, if you're set to find a 3rd party camera, then look at Camera FV-5.
Compared to all the other apps listed on this thread, it's superior with basic camera features missing in the other apps, such as focus mode, manual ISO, exposure compensation, exposure bracketing, grid layovers, etc. No gimmicky filters or effects like the others listed here. It makes a decent 'manual' camera out of the limited capability that the phone comes to begin with. It shows the 'life' shutter speed. Its auto ISO has a bias to go higher ISO than AOSP camera - up to 2000, so it may guard against shake but at the expense of grainier pics in the darker settings, but these phones aren't meant for that anyway. ProCapture is the closest to FV-5, but not as good for manual settings (i.e., after you set the exposure compensation on ProCapture, you won't see the value explicitly shown, so that could trip you). The one thing about FV-5 is it has a tad slower startup than the stock AOSP camera.

Updating my recommendation to either "A Better Camera" or Lenovo Super Camera.
