[Q] Best third party camera app? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone have recommendations of third party camera apps for our phone? Running CM 10.1 and really dislike the quality of photos taken with the stock camera.
I have Camera Zoom FX and it is pretty good. Anyone have recommendations of a different third party app that works well? I am looking for the best quality picture with everything set to 'auto' as I am by no means a photographer. Thanks!

Try LgCamera: It was simple and very fast for me and sometimes people don't want 400 settings, filers, moes, etc.

Looking for a new camera app

Hey, I've been running CM7 RC4 and it is great, the only thing I don't like is the camera app. I have Vingette, so I'm fine with taking pictures, but I've been trying to find a better app to record video. So any recommendations would be great, I would prefer it to be a free app, but don't mind paying for one.
Thanks.
there are currently no 3rd party video recording apps.
the only choice is the the video function that is built into your rom (either sense or AOSP, respectively).
Sorry.

Best camera app for desire

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.

Stock !

As has already been mentioned, poke out the crappy plastic disc that makes all the pics blurry and use the stock app in good lighting.

Have already done that but was looking for an app with more features than stock with better quality images if possible

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.
Stock camera and use cameraFun.

Best ONE X Camera App?

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..

Stock HTC app has the best UI, but the worst image quality.

Hmm, can't say I've ever had this problem.
You may find this of interest, I have done a quick comparison between these camera apps.
1. Camera 360
2. Camera ICS
3. Camera FV-5
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

Thanks for taking the time to upload the comparison photos, Radiognome! Really appreciate it!!

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.

Replacement for TouchWiz Camera App

Hi, all
I'll be switching over to AOKP (probably once build 40 comes out) from Juggernaut, but my only hesitation is losing the stock camera app, which I've come to love.
Any recommendations for a replacement with the same feature set? That is, one that takes advantage of all the tweaks available for our camera (exposure, metering, ISO, white balance). I don't care so much about filters (I prefer taking "regular" photos) or upload/sharing capabilities. I just want to take high quality shots with a stable app, preferably one that's not particularly resource heavy.
From what research I've read, these are the apps on my watch list:
Camera360
CameraZoom FX
Vignette
IgCamera
Any recommendations? Thanks, all
I use Camera FV-5. I am a semi-pro photographer and this app makes me miss my 5DMKII a little less.
Bro I use procapture and it works great. Way better pics.

Best camera app

Hello,
there are many camera apps available on play market. Have you had better experiences with any of them comparing to stock JB camera? Are there any major quality/speed differences?
Two that I like are ShotControl and Camera FV-5
The latter has option to save in .PNG. Former has more onscreen controls for easy access.
No apps can change the quality and speed of the camera majorly. I personally love stock JB camera and am not thinking of switching to any third-party anytime soon
CameraZoomFX and Vignette are also 2 really good apps to try.
vignette and camera360
