Hello,
How are you?
SInce I am using my note a bit more to take pictures, I was wondering if there is a camera App that is better than the stock camera in regard to overall image quality, either by lower compression of files, or by better use of the camera hardware.
So, dear note users, what is your take on this?
Thank you.
Cheers!
I use as photo application Camera ZOOM FX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom is very good camera App :good:
I'm running Paranoid Android and find the stock Camera to be pretty poor. The best alternative I found is:
Pro Capture
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neaststudios.procapture&hl=en
I should say though, that the stock TW camera is better.
CameraZoomFX is good if you plan to add effects and stuff to your pic's. if you want a more DSLR/professional like handling of the cam app and .png files instead of .jpeg, you should take a look at FV-5 Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite there is also a paid version with even more features.
I'm using Pudding Camera and it's really cool but the stock app in TouchWiz is enough for daily use.
I use the Camera X or even the Shot Control Camera.. They have many customizable options like a pro at your finger tips
I am using shot control too.
Dev seems responsive according to comments.
Have emailed regarding geolocation support and custom folder support.
Other than that, it is a pretty sweet app that allows you to access features on the main screen.
So you can control ISO, and exposures, and focus modes easily.
You can also map to hardware keys.
The Note's large screen does help a little here.

@Markuzy Totally agree with you.. Shot control screen is just great on the galaxy note considering the screen size. The feature request is also just what i was looking for.
Is there any mod for the camera on the note? Like there is for the HTC One X?
Cheers

Honestly my dream camera app will be something that can do everything from HDR merging to fast capture to panorama.
Unfortunately I have yet to find an app that does all that. Only the individual apps for each feature can be found.
One thing I found out is that localized touch focus on Gingerbread Galaxy Note is proprietary to Samsung while it is native to ICS.
This may be something that you are missing out on 3rd party camera apps unless you are on ICS already.

Try Camera FV-5. It has all controll on the screen.

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.
Anyone know of any good ones?
Not liking the cm7 can to fuzzy and blurry

There are tons of Camera apps in the Market. Fuzzy and Blurry sounds like you have a fingerprint on the lens. I have nothing but good things from the CM7 Camera or stock LG Camera. They both have pros and cons but neither one of them produce fuzzy or blurry pictures.
Every single camera app I've ever used has produced the same quality images. Image quality is all about your physical camera itself, not the software utilizing it. Any camera app is just going to be using the same basic Android functions anyway, the differences are purely in the UI and any post-capture activity (filters, HDR, etc)
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.

Hey guys, coming from the epic I an missing the great camera options it had. Does anyone have a good app they use for pictures? I'm not looking for better output, but options like panoramic and whatnot.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
The stock ICS camera app can take panoramic shots, albeit in not very good quality. For a replacement app, I'd recommend Camera zoom FX (was on sale for 10 cents awhile ago). It really depends on what features you're looking for though.

Is there one with zoom, or is that not possible on the nexus a 4G?

I'm using Camera Zoom FX and Vignette. Both are very good i think.
Both have a Zoom but of course only a digital zoom.
If you don't have a zoomable lense (nexus phones dont have) then only digital zoom is possible, which has a poor quality and you can do better yourself on your computer.

You realize since it's a fixed lens that any zoom will only be digital? Thus it's simply like cropping a larger picture to see a smaller section...
Edit: Didn't notice blackg3cko already mentioned this. My bad.
I know that we have plenty of camera apps out there, but I'm concerned about them not being optimized enough for specific devices. I've been pretty disappointed with the stock JB camera, so what is the most impressive app with the most features in the Play Store?
I think the stock camera is awesome. If there was someway to implement it into jelly beans ROMs that would be awesome. All the camera apps on the market are horrible in my opinion.

Unfortunately not an option for those of us who despise TouchWiz.
I'd mainly like something with HDR capabilities and exposure compensation. Taking the photos with a hardware button is also a huge plus.

try camera fv-5 it costs $5 on the android market but it allows you to save the picture as a png format so it shows the true power of the 8 mp snapper. if you know picture formats you will realize that the android camera saves as a jpg which compresses the photo and basically your 8mp snapper becomes like a 1mp snapper but this app saves as a png which is the raw picture format so it shows the true power of this camera.
