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.

Camera manual settings

Does xperia M5 camera let you set shutter speed? I know the stock camera app doesn't have option for that but maybe third party apps? Camera fv 5 and android camera test will let you see that.
I find it strange that xperia phones come with such a poor camera app. They don't even save RAW. Good camera quality is one of their marketing factors.

Third party Camera apps that use HDR+

I have tried searching but couldn't find. Is there a list of 3rd party apps that use HDR+ in 8.1?
The only one I've read about is Instagram.

3rd party camera apps

Can anyone confirm that this phone works with 3rd party camera apps? I have never owned a dual camera smartphone and I have a particular camera app that I am very fond of. I really want this phone but I will be PO'd if I am tied to stock Moto camera. I like options.
Thx

portrait mode in GCam / Custom ROMs?

So I see everyone talking about the quality of video recording in GCam, HDR + etc. but I'm just curious how the rear camera portrait mode working in third party cameras and if it's working, is it actually utilizing both rear cameras?

No 3rd party camera can use the 2nd camera at the moment(doubt if they ever will), not even the modded GCam uses the depth sensor. It takes better portrait anyway using only one camera, better separation, though with a little less depth blur.

Does GCam requires camera 2 API? I heard that the stock camera crashes after enabling Camera 2 API.

The stock camera works fine after enabling camara2api. The problem is after enabling camera2 API, none of the cameras can focus during recording video, so that's an issue you'll have to deal with if you decide to enable it.
Still none of gcam mods which support for second depth camera?
I'm on RR so I can't use stock camera. It's not supporting
