Good camera apps?

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.

[Q] Camera MP quality Question???

ok i have the Stock camera app set at 8mp 3264x1952 and quality HIGH. Thing is i notice when i take the pics and look at them on my comp they are only showing around 1.4MP for each photo. Is this normal? with the Vigntte app i can get the camera to take about a 4-5mp photo(with the settings on that turned to 8mp high also).
Did i set someting in the setting wrong? or do the camera naturally do this?

[Q] ARC camera resolution

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Sony Ericsson Arc and the images taken by its camera look pretty good on the phone it self, but wen it comes to downloading them on PC the results are quite unexpected. the image resolution is poor 400xXXX pixels or less and size is about 600kb (same shown in astro file explorer) although its taken on 8mpx settings and same with using HDR camera. I use universal android suit (i dont know maybe i need original sofware?) The question is how do I fix that Resolution problem? what settings and where? pls help

i don't believe hdr camera supports full resolution even if it claims it. Take a picture with the stock camera and check the resolution on that. What's universal Android suit?

HDR camera does support full resolution, I have taking several pictures with both SE camera app, HDR camera and Vignette all at 8MP and compared them with 100-200% magnification, the resolution on each is exactly the same, there is absolute no difference in the details recorded.
HDR camera does after combining three pictures increase color saturation and contrast for the whole picture and fine details. This makes the pictures look like they have more details but up close it is easy to see the same amount of details and same pixel sizes.
I have decided to uninstall Vignette as it add some very weird "pixel curtain" all over the pictures which initially gives it a larger file size as it add additional pixels which is not supposed to be there. This could give the wrong impression that it contains more details which is not the case.

Camera app

On the Galaxy Nexus, I'm not too happy with the stock camera app. Many a times the camera does a bad job of post processing and the pictures look completely un-natural from the surroundings they were snapped in. Mostly it has to do with indoor photos. However I've found that adjusting the exposure setting in the camera app does help a bit to make the indoor photos a bit better.
Now I want to know if there are any apps out there who automatically do this kind of stuff? More than just setting the exposure, but to get a good image by loading various values from the camera sensors and post-processing? I'm not looking for any FX apps for retro, vignette effects and such. Just an app which snaps better photos than the stock camera?
And if you guys have tried those, could you please post side-by-side photos of the stock and the app for comparison?
I don't care if its FREE or PAID, as long as it snaps photos which will make me smile.
Thanks.

camera

hey i wanna know some good app for clicking pic like a DSLR camera .. lol kidding.. want a app that uses the wfs camera AT ITS OPTIMUM level.. and gives me the best pic it can everytime.. let it be a paid app or free but tell me some nice ones thanks in advance..

Camera zoom FX, Camera 360, Camera ICS, ProCapture, MIUI camera.
All of them give, more or less, similar results (you can't expect pro photos from mediocre hardware) and all of them has options that makes them diferent:
- Zoom FX and camera 360 have filters that you can apply right on picture;
- ProCapture has interesting and usable panorama mode;
- Camera ICS has 2x video birtrate recording... etc.
But... what i learned from years of photo hobby and what i missed from stock camera (don't use stock rom long time now) was "touch to focus" option which is visible right on display and really makes changes to exposure of photos. Camera 360 has that one but it doesn't do anything (at least for me) to exposure at all.
So curently i use MIUI camera which have that possibility and it does make photos as close as possible to what i want.

UCam is a better cam app. You try it
