What's the best Camera app

The iPhone had alot of great apps to replace the stock camera. What's the best one for the Droid X? When u had the G1 i had purchased Snap Photo Pro and i redownloaded it on my DX but it's buggy as he'll. Im looking for something that allows you to tap the screen to take a pic plus plenty of other features.

A lot of people like Camera 360.
I personally don't like it, but it might be worth checking out.

Thanks. Really just want to be able to tap the screen to take pics.

try using vignette... i absolutely love it!

Vignette is BY FAR the best camera app for the Droid X!

I would like to agree on this! It is the best addition to the droid x! The pics are just that more vibrant! I always compare it to the Evo and guess what, the X always wins! Its not by liking but by actual aperture and density in the pictures! The live shutter vs digital is by far some kind of feat!

Just purchases Vignette, its f**king awsome. Love it. Thanks guys for the recommendation.

Vignette is great. Camera 360 does a few things better but if I ha to pick one...

Based on the posts in this thread I've been using Vignette for a few days and LOVE it.
One of the things I was really disappointed with in the phone was the picture quality, that disappointment has completely gone away with Vignette.
I didn't like that I had to keep going back to the home screen to switch from camera to video, but then I found the option to turn on the video button to switch with one tap.. awesome!

I'm pretty impressed. It didn't seem that much different from FX Camera when I looked at the previews, but once I opened it up - WOW!

I just purchased Vignette, and I'm finding it a huge improvement over the default camera app. However, I'm having trouble deciding what the best everyday settings are. Any ideas from you folks?

I second Mikerrrrrrrr's request, I got Vignette but I'm not sure how to use it effectively yet.

So far I'm using no effects, 5MP fullscreen (16:9) with auto WB, auto focus, and steady shot. Does anybody have other suggestions?
Also, is there a way to manually configure exposure and ISO settings?

I'd still go for Vignette. I also deleted the generic camera app via a root uninstaller as I won't have a need for that app.

I use Camera Zoom and it's awesome. Definitely worth checking out.

I can personally vouch for Camera ZOOM FX; it has a great interface and is really good to use; it also supports high resolutions.

Does anyone remember the link for the modified version of the stock blur camera, that saves the 8mp setting after its closed?
Also - Try the HDR camera, by almalence, does a fantastic job of capturing details and putting the 3 images back together.

I like retro camera. It takes pictures then "develops" them for 30 seconds or so, and look vintage as hell.

Why are the pictures so poor??

I am coming from a Vibrant and although by the time I bought this phone the Vibrant was laggy, GPS was hit and miss, and allot of apps would force close, it still had a very good camera. I don't understand why this camera at 5mp takes such poor pics. I have a very good camera but sometimes I do forget it, it's too heavy, or I don't charge it so having a nice camera on the phone would be beneficial. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

You really think the camera is bad? Seems better than the hd2 I had. Have you blown them up on a computer and looked at them or are you just going off the phone? Maybe im just easy to please its really fast and works pretty well
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

No I haven't blown them up I just zoom in from the phone itself. I take the same pic with my husbands iPhone4 zoom in and it is still crisp and clear, with my phone it is very pixelated.

I saw another post around here discussing this, and in it someone said to change... from widescreen to 4:3? I believe..? I don't have the phone yet so can't look in the phone for ya. It's here in the forum tho.

I think the pictures are pretty good. Here are a few I took a couple of days ago:

Speaking of "pop"... Those reds look really nice and deep. Nice choice of images.

Strange. I started the other thread because mine were NOT so good. There are limited settings in the default camera, and I have set mine to the highest resolution and do not see any other adjustments in the setting menu.
At the wide mode, my files were only .6 - 1.2 mb (compressed I am sure). Yours are 3 mb - and much better quality - are you using the OEM camera?
I get MUCH better shots using the 360 Camera app - but not when using the stock camera app. If you are using the stock camera app - is there a setting I have missed?

I vaguely remember a post that said the camera is not set to 5MP by default. You have to set it to 5MP within the settings.

I set it to 5MP first thing - so-so pictures followed.

I use Camera 360. The uncompressed images look far better than when using the stock camera app.
It's unfortunate that the stock camera app doesn't allow manual compression settings. But that's why we have developers.

stock camera compresses the s out of the shots.
Go vigenette or camera 360 (all these were taken using either of the 2)

I definitely agree. Idk why they would switch the camera.

yea the gb camera really sucks and I also noticed its darker. The focusing isnt as good and I feel that the quality of the pics is decreased. I used to love taking pictures with the factory lg camera. Is there a way to get the lg camera back, even if it means going back to 2.2? im guessing root and flash one of the 2.2 roms?

OTOH, I think the new camera does better with flash photos. With the original stock camera, things close to the camera were all overexposed and blown out. A couple of test photos in a dark room with the flash really came out looking very nice, much better than the old camera.

Does the GB camera take Panoramic pics and art pics?

I'm confused about the discussion of the cameras with gb mean we lost our specs with our original camera functions with froyo? If so what did we lose

Nope! One of the perks with the LG camera that's sorely missed.

Yea and it takes forever to take a phota even longer then LG camera app, man I could go take a **** and come back for the pic and still have to wait and that's with the timer off! And yes the fps is lower the LG camera in 2.2. And it also had more options why the hell would they do that, so so stupid for real, I bet it was to much of a pain for them to incorporate into gb

They just aren't willing to do the work. This "update" was likely started a month ago, its also likely there won't be another. Just a feeling, LG seems clueless.

As we all know the stock camera isn't the best. Anyone have good alternatives they use to take quality pictures?

I still get blurrry images when up close using flash, idk im disappointed so far with this phone, i loved my og atrix. the camera to the sd card problems may make me return it.

what kind of camera to sd card?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

sorry if that confused haha i meant from the camera problems to the sd card problems. as in 2 separate issues. Im returning my atrix 2 today too many issues that I dont see being updated anytime soon.

I am disappointed with Camera Zoom FX and am bummed that I let it get past the 15 minute refund window. Though, I suppose for $5 it is still better than the stock.
I REALLY liked the camera features that were on my Captivate - you can tap on a spot on the screen for lighting and focus, not relying on the image being exposed based on the center of the screen.

I like Camera Advance and Camera360 Ultimate.

Camera zoom fx. For sure

You have to press and drag the focus square in the middle for the Atrix2. I have no idea why motorola won't do it like everyone else with tap-area-to-focus

I have Camera Zoom FX, and I have to say that I prefer the stock camera app. I think that the stock camera app's UI is nice, the photos are good, it has a fair amount of different settings, and although it's not tap-to-focus it's drag-to-focus, which at first is annoying but now I prefer it as it lets you move the square more accurately.
I had the A4G before my A2, and I think that the A2's camera is at least as good as the A4G's camera, except for the flash (the A4G had an extremely powerful flash).

I tried the Camera Zoom Fx and the layout is much better than the stock but picture quality is a whole different story.
I took 2 sets of pictures (one with CZ fx and stock). In both sets, the resolution was NOTICEABLY clearer in the stock camera app. Totally unexpected for me because I assumed CZ Fx would be better. For instance a car licence plate was easily readable upon magnification with the stock app but almost unreadable with CZ FX.
Both apps were set to 8mp, auto focus.
Camera zoom FX pic's EXIF: F/2.8 5mm 1/274s ISO-100
Stock camera app pic's EXIF: F/2.8 5mm 1/257s ISO-65535
I will be sticking with the stock. Stock seems to optimize settings better.

I love camera zoom fx. It can be testing at times, but for the most part, a great app. The HDR app(forgot the name - reformatted my phone) is good too.
Not sure if pictures will work.

camera fx is now on sale for just $0.49

Yea i just picked that up cant beat the price

You guys should also try ICS Camera+ it's basically a port of the Camera from the Galaxy Nexus, it works great. Picture Quality is great as well...

What about vignette? I think it's great for more artistic takes

I've tried Vignette as well as Camera Zoom fx - both are good for effects. Since the 2.3.6 update, stock camera works fine for me. I'm not big on effects. I just need a nice, focused, crisp photo and stock does that for me now.

This camera sucks

Is it just me or is the camera on this phone horrible? The .3 megapixel camera my parents got me when I graduated high school 11 yrs ago took better pictures than this phone. I have it set to highest quality settings and have Valhalla booster pack but the pics suck. They are never in focus either. I could do the tomahawk chop (Atlanta Braves thing) while taking a picture with my G2x and have better results. I just took a picture of my dog 5 feet away and its blurry

Look for dsextons camera tweaks first in his AS tweak thread in dev section then his Bravio tweak in the general section. You need to flash them in that order.
They made a nice difference for the camera on my phone.

Check if the lens on your camera is clean. Pictures get really blurry when its not. And try to focus before taking the picture, that helps

Yeah i had that problem once i just has to actually wipe the camera lens on the back

I'm also always disappointed from the pics i get. I'm currently with dsexton702 modded bravia engin camera, using ZOOMFX camera with 3MP to be able to shoot fast.
I once had SGS i9000 which has the same camera device and pictures and movies were much much better.
