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.

Alternative camera app?

I was wondering which alternative camera app you guys/girls are using. I find the original camera app too nervous when it comes to finding a focus. Especially in dark environments.
Personally I tried Camera Zoom FX. Quite a good camera, with a pre focus option which keeps the focus and isn't 'nervous' at all. But there are 2 disadvantages..
1) The macro options makes the app jam, and must be closed and restarted. Actually, it's not even possible to make a picture with the macro mode selected.
2) The app doesn't have it's own video modus. When you want to record a movie, the app switches to the original 'nervous' camera app.
So if you are using an alternative camera app, which one are you using and why?

For *camera only* try using Camera FV-5. If you need video mode get LG Camera. Prefer the Pro version of these 2 as the free versions are pretty much limited.

Bought it. Tried it on my SLT-A35. The camera did not response to the remote app. Did the refund immediately. Any ideas why it did not work on the Sony SLT-A35?

Try "DSLR Remote" on the playstore. It works with my S4 and my Note 10.1 with my Nikon D60. Also it's free.

I just update the app and the update will take sometime until it show the update
you can check when ever you see the version 3.5

Did anyone try the Smart Remote for S4? It has a setting for DSLRs. i haven't tried it yet. Just thought I'd ask

G4 Aperture mode

Hi! Does anybody know app with something like 'aperture mode' (just like i huawei P9). I love G4's camera and I wannna have something like that in it
Is there any app that allows doing that photos?
Or maybe it would be....

Afterfocus app is the closest alternative.

Yeah I had afterfocus and google camera also, but I'd like to have sth bettet (like in p9)

Not possible without dual cameras.

But p9 doesnt use two cameras. One camera is monochromatic and only for it. This bokeh is by application and i'm searching sth like this. Iphone 7 have two cameras with various focal length

Depth of field (bokeh) can only be simulated by dual cameras in a smartphone or macro shots.
I owned Huawei P9, it would not simulated DOF if one of the two cameras were covered. Same is for iPhone 7 Plus.

But p9 havent got various focal lenght in its cameras, am I right?

Majority, almost all smartphone cameras have fixed focal length. So does P9.
DOF can be achieved naturally by variable focal lengths (like DSLR lens), or artificially by using dual cameras with fixed variable lengths. However, dual cameras DOF is fake software blur.

Thank You, now i undertstood
Anyway, have You tested google camera app? Therr is a aperture effect. It's really interesting but not good enough

I tried Google camera app and its blur effect long ago, it worked alright, but nowadays, i cannot find Google camera in play store.

Right, there is no google camera in play store directly but You can find it in official site

Camera Remote

Hello, i'm fairly new to smart watches but i have a question.
I want to use the smart watch as a remote for my mobile phone camera ( huawei mate 20 x) but every remote app i find for the watch have an "own camera app".
is there anything where i can control the shutter of the actual internal huawei camera app?

Try Camera Remote (formerly Wrist Camera) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kemasdimas.wristcamera&hl=en it works perfect for me on Samsung smartphone and does not have its own Android camera. First 7 minutes trial.

Not sure if you picked one already, but after I've tryed both Wrist Camera and Camera One I've decided to go with camera one since it has more options and was even a bit cheaper. It also comes with IIRC 1h free trial.
Just be advised to buy it from PLAY STORE (IAP) + Camera One Companion and not the Camera Gear Paid from Galaxy Store.
As the developer answered me by email, the Camera One has more options (!?!?).
