Like the title insists, what is the best camera application? ie, good focus, decent zoom, silent, many effects...
Snap Photo Pro, but not yet available for the N1.
I really like Camera Zoom FX. Recently updated for N1. Lots of effects, shutter sound can be disabled, easy to use, and add-on packages are all free.
Camera Zoom FX is the king right now for the Nexus One, since it is the only big name camera app out for the Nexus One right now. A memember in another thread said Snap Photo Pro wouldn't be coming to the Nexus One according to an email response he got back from the dev. of Snap Photo Pro. Something about being rather pissed google isn't sticking to their word on Android OS's being universal, including hardware to an extent(ie, you make a camera app for 2.0 it will work on any 2.0 phone, this it seems is not true).
+1 for Camera ZOOM Fx - had this for ever and it keeps getting better!
Does Camera zoom FX allow you to focus first, then snap? It kind of annoys me the way the standard camera waits for focus before snapping.

If you hold the camera button on the screen of the built-in camera app, it will focus first and then take the shot after you let go.
it's great
Is there an android app that can do HDR imaging? I mean real HDR, so it takes multiple pictures with different exposure and blend them.
I know that Camera 360 have something named as HDR, but it only takes one picture and adjusts it.
UP!
why no one developers tried to make an app that takes 3 shots in sequence?
I informed Camera 360 this requirement and they say they are exploit an app on iPhone that adjust only one picture to realize hdr. I think real hdr needs at least 2 photos to blend or one photo in raw to adjust.
It seems no programmer is interested in HDR app.
...and i re-up!
me too

Wow, thanks. It seems I asked at the right time.
Here's the link for the app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.almalence.hdr
And I found out there is a paid app from Eyeapps.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eyeappsllc.prohdr
And Fast Burst Camera:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spritefish.fastburstcameralite
I think this one is not prepared for HDR yet...
You can try pro hdr camera. It's not free though.
Can anyone recommend a good stable camera app for the LG Optimus V (VM670)?
LG Camera, when it runs is the best camera app. But it crashes too often on this phone. Actually, sometimes it crashes the phone, so I quickly uninstalled it.
Vignette Demo runs nice, but there is a long delay when taking pictures.
Camera FV-5 Lite is a nice camera app. You can press a button to focus, then quickly take a picture. But it has no videocam and sometimes crashes.
What are the rest of you using? Tell us!
For pictures, I use "camera illusion", and for video recording, "videocam illusion".
ICS Camera is great for pictures, videos, and panoramas!

Could anyone please post photos clicked using stock and 3rd party apps?
In some reviews it's mentioned certain manual features (like shutter speed) cannot be controlled in Moto X style/Pure. Is it true?
true for stock camera. can't adjust iso either. the camera app blows.

Moto Camera app versus Google Camera, in panorama
The first attached file, is a panorama with the Google Camera app. The second is a panorama with the Moto Camera app. With Panorama, the Moto app does not handle lightt well at all. For any indoor panorama shots, use Google Camera.
And of those two photos. I can tell you from being there. The lighting in the room is very much like is shown in the Google Camera shot.
panorama is garbage on this phone. it's such a low resolution, it's always blurry never in focus.. it's god awful.

Try it with the Google Camera app. What I have posted here, is chopped down during upload to XDA and are not the full size photos.
Thanks for all the posts!!
Could anyone pls try the manual camera app and let me know if the Raw files, ISO, Aperture control etc. are supported on Moto x Pure?
I read somewhere that the camera apk2 is not included in moto camera app and thereby limiting some of the functionalities. Thanks for the reply!
Manual camera does not work. It crashes constantly if you try to change ISO or any of the other settings. I don't understand what Moto was thinking? Surely there is a way to provide a nice point and shoot experience while also allowing advanced settings if the user is so inclined. This phone has a killer Sony Sensor and the Moto Camera app handicaps it terribly.
I installed Google camera on day one and haven't touched the Moto camera since I experienced it's awfulness.

The Moto camera app is complete trash for panoramic shots. I'm not sure what they were thinking there.
I too have experienced the crashing apps from trying to change ISO. Bummer because I love using FV-5 and it is pretty much useless on this phone.

They flat out excluded the Lollipop Camera2 API. That is why nothing works and you get the crashes. Hopefully someone smarter than I can bake it into a custom rom soon.
Motorola excluded the camera2api for some dumb ass reason. No manual controls at all.
I use the Google Camera app, overall I get better results than the Moto crap app.
Can you get Google's camera to record in UHD?

This is getting depressing. With things like this and the non-enhanced dialer. This is not the "pure" Android experience I was looking for. It at least this is resolved by using Google Camera. Google does not have a separate enhanced dialer app.

Open camera can record in UHD 3840 x 2160
I use open camera but with no stabilization I don't even really bother taking photos at all. Especially since even using flash produces blurry photos with the slightest subject movement. I've been very disappointed with the quality in that department. If your taking a still and nothing is moving even the slightest then the image is good.

You are saying that when you check the auto-stabilize option, it doesn't work for you?
To those that use Open Camera, does the stock gallery display the pictures taken? Seems that with the stock Moto camera, Google camera, and Camera MX, pictures taken by any of them show up in the gallery. Pictures taken with Open Camera? Nope :\

The pictures on my phone showed up under the albums tab, in a folder called OpenCamera on the stock gallery.
I wish OpenCamera had and option to save to the external sdcard though.

Hmm.. seems that I fixed my own issue. Under Options > More camera controls, if you have Use Storage Access Framework checked, it seems it wasn't having my photos appear in the gallery. With it unchecked, photos I now take are. Don't know the cause of that.
Right above that option is the Save location, where you can have the photos saved to the external sdcard :good:

So I'm assuming "camera geeks" will be viewing this thread so I thought I'd ask a question. I loved the Moto camera app on my Moto X and I really miss some of it's features in the stock PIxel camera app. If you switch from the stock app what happens to picture quality? Is the picture quality of the Pixel camera dependent on the app or just the hardware? I get great pictures on my Pixel so I don't want to give that up but I'm really not crazy about the UI of the app.
adobe lightroom for android has a powerfull pro feature and HDR RAW in camera
Open camera app

As far as I know, you'll lose HDR+ because that is done by the application. I'm not sure if the EIS is built into the camera application or not, but I'm inclined to think that it is. The resolution and clarity of the pictures will be the same regardless of camera app, but you will lose some of the dynamic range.
