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.

Here's why multitasking is limited on the One X..

Compare the GSM nexus free memory to my One X. Both have exact same apps installed and running and both are stock.

Sense simply takes up too much of the phone's memory.

I'd have a GNEX if the camera wasn't a POC.
The HOX IMO, and I'm sorry for using too many 3 letter short cuts, but the HOX on ATT is about as close to perfect as you can get right now. Yes the multi task issue, but the battery is great, LTE and the camera are super, but the fricken lack of storage and a mem card is almost a deal breaker for me, but I'm dealing with it.

Owner of both, the camera is so much better on the One X it's not even in the same league. Not just in terms of quality, but usability too.

I like how a trolling post which was meant to bring down the HOX turned into a discussion about how awesome the camera is.

New Google Camera Sucks

Hi everyone,
The title is pretty clear. And I want the old one back. I want to be able to take pictures during video. I want to be able to change white balance. I want to be able to change scene mode. The lens blur is absolute poo. It straight up sucks. I know the real time picture ratio isn't right on the old one, but it just looks better with the added space. Is there any way to get back my old, functional camera back? Thanks in advance for any answers.

Settings > Apps > Camera > Uninstall Updates.

How could you NOT know how to uninstall updates. Should give the new update a chance, I agree that the massive are at the bottom isn't ideal but once you've messed around with the settings etc I personally think its better. And I'm pretty sure you can take a PIC whilst recording by tapping on the screen, don't quote me on that though.

None of the massive area in the bottom is part of the photo anyway so how is it less than ideal? At least now we can see what the photo will look like before we take it. No more accidentally missing part of the shot cause the screen shows more picture than photo.
@ProVickers check out pro capture. This is my main camera.

I was taking some photos last night, and had quite a bit of difficulty trying to focus the image especially with the flash. Other people were taking photos to and the edge took very poor images when both flashes were active. I have upgraded from a galaxy S4 and noticed that it takes some time to process and focus the image is there can be many moving focal points.

Yeah its a hit or miss on the focus. At least in my phone. I could only get it to focus twice out of many tries. Those two focuses took pretty pictures thou. But that's unacceptable. The reason I'm asking is because it could be this phone. I hope we get more responses of people experience with the camera.

I have no problem with mines. It works great and i even focus on my jeans and could see all the stitching.
Try to clear the camera data.
drag the camera icon to app info. Then clear data and clear cache.
I had to do this on another phone long time ago.

Thank you xile6, I've already clear data and cache several times. Yes if I but my finger close to lens I can make up my finger print, looks nice but when I try to focus on a object about 5 feet away, it doesn't focus.

That is very weird. Mines is fine i can focus just fine on everything.
You do have it on auto mode? see if changing it to a different mode helps out.

My camera is fine too... Don't seemt o have any issues. Check your setting, maybe you have selective focus on?

Thank you all, I think it's a hardware problem. I've checked all the modes and it's the same thing. I've performed a factory reset and it's the same. Going to have to pay a visit to the store tomorrow.

Confirmed, defective phone. They replaced the phone with another new one and this one know focus and takes very nice pictures. The lady didn't even hesitate to swap it. Maybe they had another return with the same issue. Thank you all for the feedback.

Thats good you got it return. Glad they had more in stock for the return.
I sure hope its not alot of them that have this problem. I remember the HTC One M7 had purple tint in low light. It would happen months after having the phone.

I hink this is a samsung issue. My gear 2 got stuck in micro mode and had to be replaced too.

I can defently tell you that I bought a defective phone. They replaced it and the camera came from bad to super nice .

Glad I'm not alone with focusing problems...
Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus
Best regards,
Chris.

Sounds like a Samsung problem. My wife is on her second Note Edge with a focus problem. It focuses when you shake the camera. AT&T had told me twice that it's a software problem. Apparently they think we are idiots.
They won't warranty the second phone even though it's only 7 days old because the we bought her first phone 31 days ago.... 1 day past the 30 day warranty. I hate the crooks at AT&T.

Mine has this problem intermittently. When i close out and go back in it seams to focus
Sent form my Samsung Galaxy® Note Edge

I think the selected SD card may cause the focus delaying. i selected device option and the focus instantly enabled. anyone can experiment the location selection whoever has microsd inserted?

I don't have an SD card in mine so it goes straight to the internal storage

Samsung Galaxy S7 Low Light Test

Hi guys,
Got my hands on a European S7 for a day or two, I won't go into details but here are some low light camera shots.

Much appreciated. Do they look over exposed to you? Is it the best camera you've ever used?
I've ordered but am not excited, my nexus 6p is doing just fine
And finally, are we Europeans getting the EXYNOS?

I think this is Exynos but I cannot be certain. Any application I use to check the specs comes back as "Processor Unknown"
In regards to the pictures, all I can say is the first few were taken in extremely dark environments and whilst I was pleased with the results when viewing on screen, when enlarged they are not fantastic.
HOWEVER I don't think I have ever used a camera on a smartphone as good as this in low light. In normal lighting conditions, the 6S Plus (my daily driver) seems better but this is without extensive testing, the S7 really shines in low light situations.
It's as great camera and I doubt anybody will have any issues with its performance.
In regards to the S7 itself, there is the occasional lag on the operating system however all in all it builds on last year and it's much smoother.
I've owned every Galaxy S device, and by far this is the best generation but anybody coming from an S6 will struggle to be excited. It's certainly not as fluid as a 6P, which I have owned too.

I would think because that is how most people actually take pictures when it is dark... So it is a real world test, not some theoretical/lab nonsense.

Really for a low light test you really shouldn't be using the flash lol.

Maybe so, but pretty much everyone I know leaves the settings all on auto, which usually uses the flash when it's dark.

I think the photo are very good. Of course you use flash light in this condition.

If you use the flash which we all know is a light source then how can you test how the camera performs in low light?
