[Q] Camera button - looking for a replacement camera app

I just picked this phone up last night on my way home from work - I haven't even had time to test it since I had to spend my night testing software for a release this morning.
But anyway - the little I've played with it (let's be honest, I was up until 2am checking it out after I was done working), I'm really impressed.
My only disappointment (far outweighed by the camera quality and fact that this has a flash - unlike my last Android phone) is that there's no dedicated camera button.
But, I realize, my thumb is resting right on the volume down button as I hold my phone... and that's true for most Android phones really.
Is there a camera app out there that maps the volume down button (or better yet, allow you to map any button you want) to be a shutter button when the camera app is open?

I apologize - I meant to post this in the "General" forum not the "accessories" forum for the Epic Touch 4G.
Can a moderator move this thread? Sorry about that.

There is a paid app in the market called Vignette that allows you to use the volume up or down button for a camera button. It takes better pictures than the stock camera and has more effects before and after the pics are taken. There is also a demo version that you can try before you buy. It really is superb!

Camera Zoom FX, which I love, supports button mappings.

That brings up a good point...
...the stock camera has no zoom, I see.
Vignette and Camera Zoom FX both do, so that alone justifies the extra cost, a bit.
Camera Zoom FX costs a bit more than Vignette, but Vignette has an odd disclaimer when you use the zoom, the preview pic that it shows is grainy and pixellated - "but don't worry, the actual picture isn't" the disclaimer says - but IMO that rather defeats the purpose of having a preview pic.
does Camera Zoom FX have any such disclaimer? Does the preview pic show clearly if you use the zoom?

the volume rocker is the zoom. or you can pinch to zoom with stock camera.

I just downloaded both, Camera Zoom FX apk, and Vignette apk, and both of them have the option for silent shutter but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Looks like root is the only option to silence the shutter sound.

Looking for specific camera app

I'm looking for camera app that has:
* fast brust picture option
* panorama picture option
* macro
* face detection
* Image Stabilizer (especially while using flash in dark places)
Now I use the default app the comes with SGS3 but I have always blury pictures when I take pictures at night \ in dark places. Panorama pictures also blury.
Any suggestions?

There are other camera apps out there, check Google Play Store under the Apps, Photography section and play around with any app that takes your fancy.
Try to remember that the SGS3 is a camera phone, not a camera. Night shots will be tricky on this phone due to sensor size, led flash and 2.6 f stop.
The stock camera app does all you want apart from good low light stabilization. Image stabilization will not prevent blur in photos. High iso speed and fast shutter will but you will loose image quality.

what about the blury panorama shot?

Camera ZOOM FX has a nice stable shot feature and also burst shot mode, but i doubt it has panorama feature.

Buy "procapture" clearly the best camera atm.also contains most of the features u request
Edit: if u want a really cool, featurerich gallery go for "fish bowl photo gallery",it's free in market

I'd have to say Camera360 or CameraZoomFX. For burst shooting i think you'll have to stick with the stock app.

Hey, so I downloaded the camera and the gallery apk's but when I try to install them through root explorer I get popup notifications saying there was a problem parsing the package. Any ideas or help? I'd really like to check these out

[APP] "A Better Camera"

This is NOT my app. I did not develop it. I've tried tons of camera apps on Google Play as well as leaked manufacture cameras (Sony, Lenovo).
A good camera app with no gimmicks or fancy effects and filters: A Better Camera.
(if you are looking for gimmicky effects, fancy frames, pink hearts, kitty cats stickers, this is not the camera for you - see Camera Zoom FX, Camera Fx, Cymera, etc.)
The features I look for in basic camera app:
- Fast startup
- Easy to get to exposure compensation, and visible comp setting
- Composition grid (a plus)
- Touch to focus (surprisingly, not all 3rd party camera app has this)
- Thumbnail of picture last taken (Camera FV-5 doesn't have this)
- Exposure bracketing mode
- Visible flash on/off status
A Better Camera fits the bill and its interface usability rates high in my book. Close behind is the Lenovo Super Camera, stock AOSP camera, and Camera FV-5 (pay version). I can't say much about Focal because it keeps FC'ing. Another decent, thinking-photographer camera is Shot Control, but the viewer is too small for me.
Lenovo Super Camera loads up fast and has the swipe-to-gallery feature, but it's missing the visible status of exposure compensation setting. If you don't use that, then try it (v3.1.3 fails with FC on the very first load, but works fine afterward. v3.5 FCs all the time on my phone with Liquid Smooth ROM).
A Better Camera have additional pay features, but I don't need them. Between this and the stock AOSP/Lenovo Super camera, my basic camera needs are fulfilled when I don't have the more dedicated photography gear with me.

Thank you for your review.
We're continuing to improve A Better Camera. The upcoming changes will include faster start and "professional" features such as Exposure lock.
BTW, A Better Camera is open source, thus open for improvements from 3-rd party developers. Here is a thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484586
