There are quite a few out there, what do you think is the best camera and and what apps have you tried (if you think one is best, but haven't tried others, not very valid tbh!)
Myself, I would like one that takes pics in the same ratio as my phone screen. The Desire HD would do this. I know you actually lose resolution, but they look better on the phone...
Can't say I've tried them all, but Vignette is pretty good. It has a wide range of options to select from.
+1 for Vignette - I use it all the time
you can check out my review of it from the link in my signature
Had a quick play with Vignette, certainly seems very good. I love I can set the volume rocker to be the shutter release!
Is there a way to change aspect ratio of the photo's, so it takes full screen? If I select Full Screen of 16:9 as the frame, it does this, but crops the photo to only be about 600 by 300...
Another +1 user for Vignette here =D
Camera Magic is the one i use most. Just because it's fast and has both rapid fire mode and timer mode.
Camera 360 ultimate is kool also.

yes 360 is really nice
I'm shopping for a new camera app right now, as the stock one for AOSP ROMs is horrible. Can't believe how crappy it is, especially after coming off a modded Sense ROM (Virtuous) where that camera kicked ass. Right now I'm torn between Vignetta and Camera Advance. It seems that most here like Vignette, but what about Camera Advance? On Amazon it only got 3/5 stars, but after playing with the "free" version it seems pretty good.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Miui Camera or Sleek Camera. Miui is basically a prettier version of the stock camera and seems to work well on CM7 if you turn down the resolution.
Sleek Camera is a little bit buggy but it takes high quality photos on CM7 roms without any bloat or all the extras of Camera 360 and others. I highly recommend this app as a partial fix for CM7 users.

Camera Advance Pro is very good so far in my testing but still suffers from the same problems as the stock CM7 camera.

+1 Vinette
It's good. +1 for Vinette, though little bit slow.
+1 Vignette is pretty good xD
I think Pro HD Camera is the best.many settings available after take a photo
I just want an app that controls shutter speed, but pretty sure that can't happen.

Well the Milestone 2 camera is pretty bad, camera 360 allowed me to take some great pics. My friend who has a SGS didn't notice any difference with 360 compared to his stock app.

Little Photo has some nice effects although I wouldn't say its a camera replacement app. Coming from the iPhone which has so many wonderful camera apps, I must say android does seem a little behind. I wonder why it doesn't have the same broad range of apps?
Been playing around with the camera since yesterday and I have to say I'm mildly disappointed. My Samsung Vibrant shot excellent photos for a cell phone camera (my daily driver is a Canon 5DMKII).
Looking at the specs and the size of the sensor this should be a dead ringer for top camera, but the dynamic range seems to be worse than the Vibrant and compression more heavy.
Are there good camera app alternatives that can use the Optimus/G2x hardware?
There is...
I've been using Vignette with my G2, and now that I have a G2X, this app comes in handy even more... besides taking really good quality shots... you can set the volume button as your shutter button. Voila: you got a physical camera button on your G2X.

This is the MIUI Camera app. It's a full screen camera app. Works better than default app. Download it and change the extension to .apk and install it via package installer or adb.
Camera 360 is a wonderful camera app
Makes ur camera work amazing wonders
Worth buying
But there are ways
I purchased mine abdbyave no regrets
very hi def and even made my mt4g camera look amazing

Try lgCamera from the market, there's a free version too. It's made for LG phones, so hopefully it will work well.
It adds support for autofocus in video mode! I hope that feature works for the G2x

This is a great app. Thank you so much for the post. I recommend this for all G2x users!
i personally would not use MIUI as HD 720P seems not to work
BUT on the plus side it is made by XDA-Developers
they always make good stuff and are the leaders in innovations for the smart-phone market
(shameless plug maybe I'll get a cookie for it )
i don't see how this app would do anything to improve image quality on the G2X
as the app was generally made to replace the clunky and overblown GUI software that came with the Galaxy S / Vibrant,
so how will that improve the image quality on the G2X
as DataJunkie wants, he did not ask for a better GUI but better quality pictures
maybe i miss-understand
anyway the app can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996867
and a review of the app here
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-miui-custom-camera-app-on-samsung-galaxy-s-vibrant/
Just my 2 cents,
i realize i did not try or test this app on the G2X,
so my 2 cents maybe worthless
.
I use camera 360 ultimate, i love that app, is awesome, it has hdr mode and a few other modes, you should try it.

These are all really good suggestions, thanks guys.
I think I'm going to do a test with 3 different camera apps and lock down the phone on a tripod to compare. I'm interested in knowing how much the camera is held back by software and how much it can be improved upon.
Now all I want is a cameraphone that can shoot RAW.
Where can I get camera 360? I can't find it in the market?

I know, it's weird, you have to type it as "camera360" or else it won't show up.

I was disappointed with the Camera app on my MT4G and went with Camera 360 due to extensive compression (at leat 2 to 1) on stock app.
I think this one is much better, and it makes large files per picture which indicates it does not compress that much. Have you checked out all the settings?
The flash goes off too soon with Camera 360, just tried it out.

did you ever find out the result?
I like Camera Zoom FX the best then Vignette. Both of these have hardware hotkeys. Camera Zoom FX has stable shot mode that Vignette doesn't have. Camera360 Ultimate is ok for me. Stock camera app seems to have brightest flash and very noticeable.
Does anybody have a .apk of the MIUI app? I'm having a hard time with the .zip :/

So after the GB update i was like man can LG be anymore "dumb", but it turned out they're not.
I hate the GB stock camera and liked the froyo version better. until i figured out that LG did that on purpose, not only they didn't want to waste time on rebuilding the camera app to GB version but they are hopping to make more money on selling their LG camera app. i found it on the Market and it's called "LGCAMERA PRO" and of course theres a free version but on the internet you can find the pro for free *wink *wink.
Make sure you get the most up to date version cause it fixes the rotation bug.
And this works with GB?
Yes it has capability of 2.2 and beyond..... it even has more options.
does the GB video camera have autofocus?

I assume you are talking about this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&feature=search_result
Which is definitely not made by LG.
There's a manual focus, and a forced auto focus, don't ask me what that means" for the camera. And for video has a lot more options like video bitrate up to 20mps and downgrade and upgrade the video guality.
Its not being sold by LG. But it looks like a promising alternative.

For forced auto focus go at the very bottom of the menu and youll see it... side note stupid me found out the app is not made by lg ;p but it is a better camera app rather than the gb stock

hmm. i guess that option is not present with cyanogenmod.
Open the camera app and press your menu button, than scroll down to the common settings option and it'll be there for the forced focus
there's the option checked off with the green check mark alittle advice is to uncheck that option while recording a video cause it'll not auto focus while video recording

As stated before, LG did not make this. Here is a link to LG's market apps which encompass a whole 3 user guides for specific phones and that's it.
Maybe tantan20171 is or is friends with the Dev.
But is it 1080p?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
No I'm not just an average Joe trying to find an alternative camera apparently that gives us the option the option of having a full 1080 capability because right now we lost that spec and this apparently gives us that option
Is there an advanced camera app that works on the G2X? I haven't rooted my phone yet but I'd do it if a rom has a better camera app or something. I'm looking to being able to control my shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and possibly aperture (Although I'm not sure if camera phones even have adjustable aperture).
Camera360 has a good amount of options, you should check that out.
When They took the lg camera away I tried every camera app in the market and none of them were any good I wasted alot of money buying the pro versions and they all sucked most were not even as good as the stock vanilla android camera that we go with the GB update and certainly not as good as the froyo LG camera app. Sorry to sound negative. On a good note you can now get the LG froyo camera on GB it has been done I have it and you dont even need to be rooted
Please explain how you got the LG Cam without being rooted...

I've recently purchased Camera Zoom FX (after using Camera 360 for a while). It works with the front-facing camera and has some good basic requirements. It also has tons of extras I will probably never use, but then I just want to take a fast shot that is clear and crisp.

Thanks for all the help guys. Camera360 doesn't have any of the exposure settings I wanted except for white balance but I'll root and flash a rom with the LG Cam and see how that goes.
I got it cause I can get a hardware upgrade every 12 months so I figured what the hell, a free 3D phone how bad can it be.
My previous android was an xperia x10 which had just recently been having this issue where it would not want to record video.
The LG 3D worked fine for a few months but now I have to restart it at least once a day or the internet and phone capabilities will stop working. It wont turn off or anything but when I try to call something the dialer just keeps closing and the internet just wont connect. The battery is pretty bad, I got a fat aftermarket one on ebay but I can still take that down quite a bit in a day if Im actually using the phone. On top of that the music player has a constant inter-midden skip issues that are pretty annoying. As for the 3D I hardly ever use it since it doesnt do much good when its not on the phone. And Ive talked to a few other people with the phone and they arent happy with it either.
So is it LG that struggles to make a solid android or was this one just on the bottom end so they could slap a 3D label on it?

You are right and you are wrong.
You are right about the device out-of-the-box. LG ROMs are crap, period.
You are wrong because the developers here have done an AWESOME work improving this phone.
Try some custom roms (ThiaiZ, Promethius by Samno, Acura,...) and you'll see a BIG difference.
