Camera 360 has been my favorite. The pro version has a few more features than the free, but I'm happy with the free. Used black and white setting.

No, I don't mean for actually taking photos. I have a DSLR for that.

Ah, I see now. You mean apps that assist in photography. I guess I read it wrong. If you meant a camera app, you probably would have titled it, "camera app." Haven't come across anything as of yet, but will shoot it this direction when I do. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Cam Calc is fairly useful..

Although I think it could use some usability and efficiency work.

Photoshop does that pretty well. I don't know why you'd need it on your phone since 1) you can't really do exposure bracketing with the built-in camera and 2) it is very CPU-intensive. It takes my quad-core about a minute to HDR a 12.1MP image with 3 shots.

Do you have a link to that on AppBrain or something? I just get a bunch of horrible translation apps when searching the Market.

As a very keen amateur have subscribed to this thread.

Don't really know what kind of apps you're looking for, but I found GoldenPic (I know it's on Android, but I don't know about iPhone) that shows you the golden hour, blue hour, sunrise, sunset, etc. It seems to work good and I took some great golden hour photos this past weekend (if I don't mind saying so myself)

it looks like they just have Android for now. I found the website here:
goldenpic.jebsapps.com

You also have 'Photography Trainer'.
It's a Paid App $1.99
To Quote from AppBrain:-
This app guides you step-by-step how to set your D-SLR to take the perfect shot. Capture amazing photos by truly understanding shutter speed, aperture & ISO. Dozens of sample photos, photography tips and tutorials. Night photography, sports, landscapes, portraits, HDR & more.
It's well loved with practically ALL comments getting 5 Stars.

Anyone here try that 'Photography Trainer' app? I wish they had a free version available to try out first.

It's very good. I just got it, and it is really good especially if you are totally new to DSLR photography. It gives you an intuitive flow of conditions and then gives details based on each level. I.E. Night time -> moving object -> fireworks.

Thanks guys...I think the MT4G camera has gotten a bad rap from Internet reviews. Yes it's not the market leader but it's not as bad as they portray it to be.

i think its HTC's best camera to date (when using 3rd party apps) the stock app compresses way too much

Ditto on being the best camera, but I haven't had too many issues with noticeable compression artifacts from the stock app. I might have to take a second pass on the pics with the bigger display at home.

sorry for not writing back fast enough...i use a combo of Camera 360 Ultimate and Vignette
all set to superfine and max res

Wow Lockeskidney those look really good. Did you retouch them at all with your computer or is that straight from the phone?

i think i resized some of them because i post to facebook (they were 720 wide) but other than that nothing

Low light conditions:

Better lighting:

Can you guys also post up if these are using stock cams, or camera 360, etc. and post up your settings. These pics you guys are putting up are stunning

camera 360 is nice. can't post my pictures yet though

I've taken a few pics of the same scene with the stock app and then Camera 360 (with max resolution/least compression), loaded them up on a computer to compare. For me, the Cam360 pics look only very slightly better than the stock app. I really can't even tell the difference in quality unless I zoom in a bit, and even then the difference seems rather slight.
Has anyone else taken photos of the exact same scene with both the stock and an alternative app to directly compare the difference?

Your kitty has vanity issues

Anyone notice the flash has green hue at the edges? Makes night pictures terrible.
Comparing side-by-side with my soon-to-be-on-eBay Evo, Inspire's flashes have decidedly green/teal hue.
Hoping it's just my Inspire's LED flashes.

Xda always shrinks the quality... Any way to add full size images via phone? I guess upload to Picasa then attach from there instead?

You can try or upload someplace like flickr as well (the phone has this option built into the Gallery app)
The ones I uploaded was from a computer not the phone, so Im not sure if you are able to upload in such a way via the phone however.

same here... i think the camera isn't all that good honestly. The iPhone 4's camera blows this one away

My experience is that the flash is awful with any significant ambient light

Im sure with certain advanced settings within the phone the photo quality can get better.
Also the focus can be manually changed, on my photos like I mentioned there was absolutely no light in the room.
At the end of the day if you want the best quality photos, its time to invest in a top of the line point and shoot camera.

a picture i took a few days ago. it seems like it focus' nicely but when you take a picture no matter how still you hold it you get a blurry picture.

Deadly combo indeed.

I took these just now....

Thanx dude, and idk man its close lol

Looking at it again the LG pic, colors stand out more but then again we were outside in the sun optimal light, then my daughters was in my kitchen and flash went off with that pic

Another cm pic, look at the clarity

Another cm pic, outside dorney park I had a really great pic wouldn't let me upload more then 5megs said something about a key but here is a good one
Uploaded with ImageShack.us

its a tough call.sometimes it looks like the cm camera flash goes off a tad bit early for me and that effects the pic clarity. need like the exact same conditions to test both to really tell.

you can't test differences between the two cameras when you guys are all shooting different scenes everytime...theres too many variables that change picture quality

True I'll try and do same scene later.

Most of my pictures come out crystal clear if i wait for the focus box to turn green which means it's "focused" as far as the the app is concerned. Although, I've had plenty of times where it thinks its focused, but the preview looks like barf. Maybe there's a different focus option for long distance pictures... I don't know. xD

Doesn't look that sharp to me, but this seems to be the trend with all the photos I've seen in reviews (don't have my atrix 2 yet). The macro shots can look good, especially the ones that showcase rocks for some reason, but further distance its pretty blurry looking compared to other high-end phones. The colors are kind of drab and probably the most annoying to me is that the image comes up much darker than it should, at least in comparison to other phones (there's several blogs that pit the atrix 2 against the gs2, amaze, etc.), so images shot at noon in a clear sky look like they are shot in a cloud covered day. These are probably automatic settings. Dunno about adjusting it and all that. Wish it would autofocus in video too.

Drag the focus box instead of tapping.

The camera is on par with most of the devices out there, sure there are some better but this phone is just fine. If your taking a picture that you need to scrutinize that much then use a camera not your phone. Personally I bought my phone to be used as a phone with the benefit of having a camera. I don't understand why people buy a device an then scrutinize it to hell. Would you buy a car without test driving it?

Is it better than Adobe Photoshop Express?

Not bashing the camera at all here I was just getting opinions from others about the picture quality from a supposed 8mp camera
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

The A2 has a ton of potential but there's too much time after you press the photo. Press the button and it takes so long the pics blurred from movement. The oem cam app is lame and it doesn't do good at night. I used cam zoom and it does torch mode for night. Also during the day colors were washed out even in indirect sun light. I really like the camera but the SGS II oem camera app destroys it. The pics regardless of the light are sharp, clean, and overall great. I did however really love the HD recording. Did some really good recordings with zero complaints.

You do realize that picture quality has very little to do with the megapixel rating (size of the picture the camera can take), right?

Yeah I do realize but in most cases higher MP do result in a better picture. 8mp cameras usually shoot better than a 5mp. But the quality issue probably is because of shutter lag

No, no, no, you got it all wrong. The megapixel rating just tells you how large of a picture the camera can take, the sensor is what determines the quality of said picture. Read this article to get a better understanding.
