FXCamera or Camera ZOOM FX ???

All the apps I have seen that perform post fx on photos downsample - someone talked about this on another thread, including PicSay, etc.

I like the choice of effects on Camera ZOOM - FXCamera only has 4 or 5 main ones, whereas Camera ZOOM has got loads more and they keep adding new ones.

I have also been using Camera ZOOM's sound activation feature recently - its really good when you are taking group shots etc - someone just needs to clap, then it takes a picture!!!

Interesting idea.......but how do you use a tripod with the DROID...or do you balance it?...doesn't look like it would

I like Camera Zoom FX BUT it refuses to play nice with another camera app I came across called Slide Camera Zoom. If I try installed them together, Camera Zoom FX actually uninstalls Slide Camera Zoom so I can't use them both. What a bummer. I've never seen software do that. Not only will Camera Zoom Fx uninstall Slide Camera, but it will replace it's icon with Camera Zoom FX's icon. Verrrrry strange. I'm going to cc the dev on this one. Maybe they can figure out why this is happening. I even happens when I put the two icons on different pages.

So... this or Vignette?

I really love vignette, and also have cameraFX installed as well.

Think I will install Camera ZOOM FX and give it a try.

Heck, for $4.36 (US), cant go wrong given the features it has.

My only question is this:

Is the ZOOM really a ZOOM? Or is it simply a crop of the original image?

I have been unable to determine how the zoom works in any app, so I was hoping the camera ZOOM FX dev would shed some light on this for me.

EDIT: so, just purchased Camera ZOOm FX. WOW! Talk about a LOT of options!

I can't find any camera app that supports 5MP on my Acer Liquid. I find it hard to believe apps have to specifically detect a phone in order to have this feature. There are more and more Android phones coming onto the market over time and it'd be a lot easier to just allow setting of 3, 5, 8, or 10 MP and just have the app give an error msg if it doesn't actually support it than having the selection missing. Right now Camera Zoom FX just has small, medium, large (3 MP), which is way too simplistic.

Downloaded Camera Zoom Fx last week - it's a terrific little app. Makes the Droid camera usable. Pix are sharp, color is great and I'm loving it. My only quibble is how is saves the pix - I can't quite figure out where or how to keep them somewhere where they will be easier to find since when you put them in the default gallery they are stored in the past pix instead of most recent so you have to scroll through them all to view the most recent? Maybe user error ;) . All in all a fantastic buy, well done chaps. Great software.

imo camerazoom is by far the more polished of the camera apps.

loving the ui and unique features like sound activation, 1-click facebook / twitter upload and a ton of free skinpacks to download - def now my camera app of choice.

now that i have played with this app for a while, i would strongly recommend to others

So far i'm really enjoying Camera Zoom...however, i have a question out there for anyone who would be so kind to answer it. Is there any way to edit a picture i have already saved into my gallery with the same effects as what can be applied in the preview screen? if not, is there any hope of ever making that an option? because i love the effects, i just want to be able to go back later and edit the photos i've already taken. sometimes i just don't have time to edit them on the spot.
