That's the question, camera app sucks (Xperia S camera app could be ported?).
If you take a photo and you zoom it quality really sucks, HTC Chachacha and LG OB takes better photos, and both have 5 mpx, I think the app compress photos so much, any solution ?

My brother has a HTC Chacha and its camera sucks, But I think the main reason the Camera is **** is because this device is mainly for gaming and not Camera, I wish it had a decent camera though.

Ya, but it takes better photos, compare, 5 mpx MUST HAVE better quality, another example, my iPod Touch 4 takes better photos and it has 0,3 mpx.

Build.prop edits will make your camera take higher res photos which look great
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=10000000
First attach is an abandoned bridge, Second is my nephew (dont worry He's not worried his face is on XDa ) They are 2592 x 1944 and look pretty good for a 5mp if you ask me

Will try, thanks in advance.
They dont appear using build.prop Edito.r
I take mine in 1024x768 but I never had the feeling that the pictures look bad /crappy.
But I also have both of those lines in my build.prop that 216monster postet. Removed the stock cam and am using 360cam. Its all good for me
// you have to use Root explorer or a programm like that, make the path r/w and then you can add lines to build.pro
I'll make this easy. The camera doesn't suck. First, the play is NOT meant to zoom, and when it does it's a DIGITAL zoom meaning it has to pixelate the images along with cropping down the image due the non adjustment of the camera's optics. The pictures that monster took as you can tell aren't zoomed and to be frank look pretty freakin sweet for being from a phone and not an actual camera which obviously is solely made for taking pictures. It's like saying why are the graphics on the play not as good as a ps3..

Pm me your gtalk if you'd like I can give you a hand . But using root explorer go into the build.prop and add the lines I posted at the very end. Save and exit and your good to go.
Edit: I'm using stock camera app

Higher Megapixel doesn't equal a better camera.
I've had a 3.2mp camera that took better pictures than the Play

I can agree to that. People still swear by their Lg Dare cameras which was a 3.2 I believe. Higher MP is mostly for larger sized prints..

I don't think it's a terrible camera. Here's two I took on my play using the stock camera app on the ICS Beta.
Slightly edited in Adobe Lightroom to add a bit more punch

The problem I have with the Xperia Play camera is that the camera doesn't auto-focus very well. It always comes out blurry.
Is there a way to fix this ?

Perhaps set Manual Focus to Infinity and leave it there (unless you are doing a closeup shot)? The depth of field should be very large and keep everything in focus.
At work, distracting myself myself with XDA, so can't test.
Do any of the camera apps make the picture quality better? I'm using the stock Camera at the moment
Camera Zoom FX
I'm a huge fan of ProCapture.

I picked up the DSLR Camera app in the Samsung apps and I really like it, but I seem to recall that someone has said elsewhere that it is no longer available. I'm not sure, but if it is out there it is a great camera app.

Just wanted to if there's a good camera/video app that might be better then the stock one?

try the lg camer
i like it
give it a try

Hi,
Some apps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156712&highlight=camera
I've tried quite a few and Camera Zoom FX was my favorite alternative, but ultimately none of the alternatives were giving me better pictures than the stock app, so I went back to it.
I like vignette. It has a macros setting
Camera FV-5. Better quality photos and more control compared to stock and Camera Zoom FX.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I have 3 camera apps. And i purchased 2 of them after some research. Fv5 camera is loaded with features for pros. It's complicated for me because I am no photographer.
HDR+ takes awesome pics! There is seriously a night and day difference. Try the free version.
And i have camera zoom which is more for instagramers.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I used to really like Shot Control, but they changed the UX in a recent update and it does not seem nearly as user friendly as it used to be. Still, worth checking out. I might have to look into Camera FV-5 as well, looks pretty nice.
i have been using hdr+ since gs2 times.

i'm using camera 360..:good:
I used camera360 for a while, but finally I returned to the stock camera. It is simple, yet neat. other apps didn't made better pics, so i told myself why bother with a 3rd party app?
i really like snap camera. like a more fully featured stock
Does anyone know of a camera app that's as good as the stock TW camera?

For now. There is not any phone camera app in the world better then s4.

Wonder why they did also. But I heard Samsung is working on their own app/camera feature that will be similar to Nexus 4's 4.2 camera photosphere. Anyway, I wonder how many people actually use that feature anyway for any real, useful purpose. It's not that accurate yet (problems with moving objects, details, stitching, etc). I'll wait and see the Samsung update to this feature.

Is there any apps that come close to them? The S4 camera app is really amazing but I have to give it up to go to CM10.

I tried this app a couple years back. Never liked it. In term of features I've seen free apps that do more.
