Camera Apps

[Deleted User]

I am going to be getting the HD on Dec 11 when my early upgrade is available. I am coming from the Gnex that I got on release day, love the phone for the most part except for dropping cell and data signal frequently.

Anyways, it looks like a lot of the people coming from the Gnex were apprehensive about the HD because of the camera. I've looked at quite a few pics taken with the HD, some good.. some not so good.

Is anyone using another camera app like Camera Zoom FX, or other? If so how are the pictures with other Camera apps?

I came from the Gnex as well and yes the camera isn't the greatest but not a reason to pass up this phone. Someone in another post suggested ISC camera. Thats what i'm using. The default camera app was laggy and cluttered but ISC camera is pretty much the same that was on the Gnex and seems to be faster. I don't think how ever it takes better pictures.

I purchased Camera ZOOM FX but mostly for the 'fun' aspect of it like splicing in 'buddies' and what not. I find that the stock camera takes better photos than the CZFX app. I'm at work but I'll take a couple photos of something stupid using both and post them shortly.

The stock camera actually takes great photos as long as you have decent lighting. If the light is low then the photos tend to come out grainy but most all cell cameras are like that anyway. The flash photos generally suck but cell phone camera flashes generally suck!

Standby for a couple examples.

Here is a stock camera photo:

Here is a Camera ZOOM FX photo. Both used same lighting, no flash, just indirect UV light.

Oh yeah, you also get the 'wide screen' in the stock photos! The built-in HDR in the stock camera improves low-light or subjects with drastically different lighting like a lot of shadows.

Thanks so much! Can't tell much of a difference between the app and stock. I know when I had my droid 3 before the Gnex the camera took forever to come up and ready to use. When I played with the HD it did not seem like it.

Do you guys think, except for MP, that the camera on the Droid 4 and the HD are the same? Reason I ask is my wife has the Droid 4.

Check out Camera JB+. After using CM10 on my old Nexus S for the last six months I came to enjoy the JB camera app and it's emulated perfectly on my RAZR HD with this app. So far seems to take better pics with more consistency than stock app or Camera FX.
