Try using Pro Capture, in time I've seen Camera 360 take better shots, but I hate it burst the flash even when I'm not taking pictures.

I use Google camera with touch focus and hdr+, and I have not yet encountered an app that matches its IQ, especially in dimmer light. I have tried many many

Using Camera Zoom Fx...... seems good.
Stock seems fine to me, used ProCapture before.
Stock just keeps getting better for me.

Really the only thing I'd like is a burst mode. I like that when taking pics of the kids playing. Otherwise I used very few features of my old sammy cameras so the stock app is fine for me. I don't suppose there's any way to add a burst mode to it - any mods or anything?

Same here. I've purchased quite a few and none beat this combo for IQ. We really are at the mercy of the hardware.
Just got Lollipop, retried FV5, and definitely love its manual iso and exposure time control, as well as raw dng support. Processing the dng files with PS express, I get great results in low light, noticeably better than stock hdr+. You can browse thru the dngs with slingshot and share/ send them to PS express
Camera FV-5 only support PNG (for now), not DNG.
I hace FV5 v2.23, not sure whether it is beta still, but it does support everything I said in full resolution on lollipop nexus5.

I turned on manual focus via google camera and all has been good for me. Stock 5.0.

hey guys i just noticed that our camera doesnt support zoom -.-
is there anyway by how we can port some custom app or somthing by which we can enable zoom and hopefully HD video recording(assuming that its possible bcuz many phones having 5mp cameras have it)
and also it would be good if we could use the "R" button for taking pics
I've tried LOADS of camera apps for this exact reason, and most of them come up saying that the camera does not support zoom, so i guess it is the actual hardware, not the program that is to blame its a same really, the only thing letting this phone down so far, that i have found, is the camera on it, tho i was used to my Nokie N82 8mp, with its AMAZING camera!!
i know its sad why why SE doesnt make devices perfect!! all of the devices have some or the other thing missing
I see no point in digital zoom az its like cropping the full size picture!
There must be an app somewhere that allows zoom. Anyone tried to get the xperia x10 app?
I can't believe this a lot pf people complained how the iphone didn't have zoom now Sony does this?

Yea, digital zoom is mostly pointless.
All it does is degrade the picture quality by cropping it, which you can do on your PC after you have taken it.
I have another question.
Is there zoom during video?
Nope :S

Camera Zoom FX and Vignette support zoom and work ok after playing with settings. I think camera zoom FX compresses even unzoomed images to look worse than with stock camera. Vignette does not open right at default but after going through some setting I could fix it. Hope it helps.
I must say I was very surprised that SE haven't made a bespoke camera app for the XPlay, bit naff to have the basic GB one only
Guys, our camera hardware doesn't support any sort of zoom what so ever, disappointing I know. But quite honestly, zoom on a phones camera(unless its a pretty high megapixel camera), usually sucks.

I'm not bothered about having zoom in the app, as digital zoom is pointless and is less effective than zooming in to a full size pic with Photoshop or similar. What I would like is a fully fledged camera app though, with filters, proper settings, panorama/HDR mode etc which is all software so is perfectly possible.
Likewise, I have no interest in the zoom but is there any way to get a camera app with the interface like that on the Arc? I realise we can't have the 3D stuff/sweep etc. but just the interface would be good...can't stand the stock android app.
While I love CM7 or many other stock android based roms out there, two things on stock android that keeps me going back to Sense-based rom. Rubbish camera app, and so so dialer/contact app.
So this week I have discovered "Go Contact", which is a really decent dialer+contact app that can make me forget about the Sense dialer/contact. But what about camera app?
Stock Android camera app really sucks. Ugly UI with extremely limited control settings, I'm not talking about "vintage looking" filters and all those stuff, but things like ISO settings. As much as I hate Blur or TouchWiz, but almost every phone that I have tried with custom manufacturer UI has camera app that is much better than stock Android's one.
I see that some people have extracted the camera app from Sony Ericsson phones and it seems like it can be installed and used on stock Android framework. I haven't tried that though. My question is, is there any decent camera app on the Market that is comparable to Sense's camera app? That is non-proprietary and not made by manufacturer like Samsung/HTC/Motorola/LG/Sony?
There's a market app called lgcamera that has been recommended to me. Going to try it out today. It also has a camcorder that supports higher bitrate video and in mp4 format instead of 3gp.
Thanks, just tried it out. The UI is a bit rough and needs some work, but it does seem promising. I'll try to do some serious testing with it tomorrow. BTW, does it have anything to do with LG?
No idea, maybe it's based on an lg camera or something..

Camera360 Ultimate has been my standby on my Desire running CM7. i threw it on my Sensation (running Leedroid) and for some reason, it doesn't go full screen. hopefully when i get CM7 on it, this will be fixed up...
Camera 360 works fullscreen. You will just have to change the picture resolution. It's a great replacement for the sense camera.

You might check out Vignette it is a paid app but has fantastic reviews. I use it and love it.
Vignette, or FxCamera for that matter, is definitely NOT the type of camera application that I'm looking for. I'm looking for camera apps that give various camera controls like ISO, white balance, exposure, contrast, sharpness, and preferably compression ratio. It would be great if there were apps that provides shutter speed and aperture settings, but I suppose these two settings are harder to implement die to hardware differences.
So far lgCamera seems to be the most promising... Camera 360 has much better UI, but does not offer as many camera controls as lgCamera.

Are you using a downloaded apk? If so then turn compatibility off within spare parts, reboot your phone and try the app again.
The thing i'm looking for is a camera with manual focus not the ****ty touch to focus crap which htc seem to deem acceptable or for that matter, 360, zoom, vignette or any of the others i've tried, no camera seems to offer manual zoom, like a slider or a dial.
Pretty bad when you want to take a pic up close, using macro doesn't always work.

I tried to do so, changed resolution to 3264x2448, restarted app, but can't get it to work full screen :/
Same problem here with my Sensation.
With the new roms based on ICS seems that the problem is solved (Camera360 runs full screen).
Two months ago, or more, I sent an email to the developers but they have not done anything.
I'm testing CameraPro that has enough advanced options.
Use MIUI rom... it has a decent camera. Here are a few pics taken with it... the one pic is the same but in night and day.
I use Cyanogen and was keen to buy a camera app that supports good panorama. I use my camera a lot
Any help would be appreciated...

This is sort of a half baked answer because I'm on a stock ROM, but of the many camera apps I've tried on the stock ROM, this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam has the best quality for still shots amoungst those that have panorama support, that I have found so far. I have not tested panorama yet. Its most likely that I picked it up on a free app of the day account.
Another one that does not have panorama but that is very good for still shots, the best one I've seen and is free, is this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lightbox.android.camera which I mention just because the quality is very good and when I've been on non stock builds in the past the camera has been the thing that has always brought me back to stock.
Hopefully the current cyanogen camera is of good quality, and its quite possible that the ones I mentioned front end the stock camera rather than hooking into it at a lower level. Its worth a quick try with the first one though; 15 minutes trial isn't much for a camera app trial but its a better offer than what those other phones have
Agreed ABC is the best camera app I have used photo quality is great.

If know how sucky it is to take action shots with the G2 and have it constantly hunting for focus ...
You would pay a million bazzillion freeking dollars for this app:
Open Camera
No it's not my app. I found it on F-Droid apps and then also discovered it is on Play store:
100% Free (unless you are inspired to but the paid donate cheap app too)

EDIT: see my post below a few comments down
OMG!! Seriously glad be cause this is the only good camera app I have found that allows video with infinity focus for video on LG G2.
What is INFINITY focus? Well, pretty much everything past 2 meters is infinity. This will work well if panning a video shot of your buddy passing on the ski trail or mountain bike trail or for any panning shots that confuse the G2.
Thought you would all want to know.
Nice find, thanks for sharing

I does not work properly!!!!!
Try this:
1) Put it in Continuous Focus mode in Video mode.
2) Focus on something as close as possible.
3) Without moving camera, put in Infinity focus.
4) Take Video and slowly move away and look to the distance.
Bzzzzttt. It fails.
But then I tried the Open Camera...
Even worse, it also fails!
So ... both work as long as camera is first focussed on a distant object and then switched to Infinity mode. They should both rename it to 'Last Exposure Lock' mode!!!

I really miss fixed focus in video coming from a sammy device, but as a solution i found the camera awesome app, where you can lock focus and exposure even in video, but ofcourse you lose the video modes of the stock camera. And is not free. But i haven't found a solution for the terrible sound of the mic

That's right. It does not exist. The only way to get the similar effect is as posted in 2nd comment: focus, then set to infinity.
Shame ... because Android camera programmer interface does come with Hyperfocal fixed focus setting that would be good for anything from 2 metres to unlimited.
Hoping someone makes a convenient button to activate that soon.
I dont know about you guys but I belive the MIUI camera is excellent, it has fast shutter speed and image processing. I have tried a lot of camera apps when I was on CM rom and none of them could match it.

There are another options, as the OPO cam that has been ported to many devices, or the Cyanogen Camera, that it's which I have been using till now. That last is very good, it has many options to configure, including HDR and Slow-Mo video recording in HD. It's in another thread of xda.

I flashed the one from here (ver 5.8 ) and its working great, with very good picture quality (i would say its like stock miui camera, only some options dont work). What i find very cool is the "moving people" Option. It realy takes clear pictures, even if someone is moving fast (good when you have a little child, which never stands still ). With this Option i get shuttertimes faster than 1/300 sec.
I only miss the HDR PRO Option from miui camera.

Thanks, I was on 3.6 and thought I'll try 5.8 and I can confirm the shutter speed is definitely faster than 3.6 so I'm happy with that. Which rom you on now?
After a few tests, indoor at lowlight, miui takes clearer photos I.e. better focused.
I'll try this when I try cm at some point but I'm still hoping for a miui camera port.

It's not about the handling/design of the MIUI camera app. It's more about the (probably closed-source) libraries to use all features of the Sony camera/lense and to get the best picture quality.

for me it's far better than MIUI or lenovo super camera, as it doesn't use so aggressive noise reduction which is especially visible at higher ISO levels - for me, MIUI camera smears away way too much detail.
also, the shutter speed seems very good

EDIT: a bug found!
after you run oppo camera, all camera apps use only warmer flash, the colder one stays off, some camera apps don't enable the flashlight at all (even if you force the flash) - like CameraMX. only the system torch works properly
can't tell what's the reason, but as soon as you uninstall the oppo camera app, both leds return to normal work

And yes, would be nice if miui cam got ported.

HFR stands for high frame rate and 120 suggests 120fps recording while the stock camera app for me seems to record at about 49 fps at 720p. The specifications of the camera sensor found here: http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/IS/sensor1/img/products/ProductBrief_IMX258_20151015.pdf say the sensor is capable of 1080p at 60fps.

Isn't it used for the slow motion? The full HD is indeed consistent at 29-30 fps and 4K videos are nearly half of it, not sure about 720p though.
That's what I mean, I only get 49fps at slow motion and other camera apps can't record at higher than 30fps.
i'm using cm and i miss a feature from my previous smiui.
in smiui i could take pics while pressing volume down.
i like to take a quick photo without wasting time.
i looked around and just found those spy stuff things but nothing like the miui feature.
would it be possible to port this with the original camera ?
i would also donate some money (10€ or more) for a port of these features.
