I can only speak for myself. All my shots taken with the official Samsung camera app. If I apply a filter, I only use apps on my Alpha. For those shots I used a filter in Camera360. The only other editing apps I use are Adobe Photoshop Express, VSCO Cam and Snapseed. All android apps, and really only a few filters.
Thanks for your explanation gavinfabl!

Only modification i have done is cropped and sharpened the first pic in picasa (it is called google photos or something) app. rest of pics are taken with stock camera app, because it seems to choose shutter speed and ISO more adequately than other apps. If someone knows app, that would prefer longer shutter over higher ISO please suggest.

Thanks for the detailed information.
You can try to use "DSLR Camera" and "ProCapture" each of one best photography apps in the store (in my opinion).

]Toms95 I just got my Alpha and not an expert you may turn on
Picture Stabilization because it appears to
leave shutter open longer primarily for low light shots but can be used other ways.
I think the trick may be to put phone down or Tripod mini etc and voice actuate the Camera to avoid motion on longer exposures.
Everyone else REALLY nice , sharp photos !
Some think it is the exact same sensor as S5 but lowered to 12 megapixels in firmware.
Is it sharper than S5 ?
Here is an example of using picture stabilization AND moving exposure up to +2 for a night shot in Miami Beach- it was much darker than it appears here and I rested phone on Latte Cup and voice activated shutter because this is a long exposure ( HDR must be off to go up to +2 exposure) .

Some pics of riga
Gavin I see you do great work with phone cams , cameras, etc etc.
With Alpha are you using a Tripod to get it so sharp and possibly using picture stabilization for longer exposures in daylight even though not needed ?
Or are the filters sharpening in edits ?
Thanks.

No tripod needed with the phone. It's got a good camera to start off with.
Some say Alpha is same Sensor as S5 but clocked down to 12 megapixels in firmware.
Do you think S5 is more detailed and sharp than Alpha ?
And will S6 be in your hands soon so I can get your opinion on that one ?

So since the original camera app by SE is beyond retarded by compressing 8MP pictures to 4MP sizes and below what camera app do you guys use?
So far the best I've come across among the free apps is Camera360. It doesn't compress images as much if you set it to 90% quality giving you a 2-3MB pictures when set to 8MP and 90% quality (though I played with some settings and now it's only creating 1.2-1.6MB pictures, but it's still noticeably better than stock) so I guess I need to try the paid apps next.
Anyways I was just wondering what does everyone else use in an attempt to get the most out of the great 8MP sensor on the Neo?

really?
is this when enabeling something or zooming in?
or just when taking normal pictures....
Go put em on PC, you won't find a single one above 1MB regardless of your settings. If you set it to 2MP you get a picture that's 150kb-290kb. 6MP gets you a 500-700kb pic. The Arc and as far as I know all SE phones are affected by this "feature"/bug
If I take a 6MP pic with out point and shoot dediacted 6MP camera it's usally 2.3-3.4MB big.
If I take a 5MP pic with my Nokia Navigator I get a 2.3MB-3.5MB pic.
In other words SE is compressing the 8MP pic to WAAAAAYYYY below the size it should be.
Might be true, but for most things, you won't notice the compression.
I use the stock camera app and Vignette, mainly for the effects. It has 84 effects. There's also a demo.
I'll try out Camera 360 aswell.
You'll notice it the second you zoom into any pic you've taken on PC. The quality is then barely better than a 2MP pic.

just took a picture in Vignette, quality superfine, 8mp. It's 5,99mb. Mind. is. blown.
just go to filestube.com and search for vignette or buy it in the market. Also just tested the speed to make a photo from the homescreen. Stock app was a second slower than Vignette, camera360 was 3 seconds slower. Vignette takes a picture and processes it on the background, so you can take another picture right after another.
Vignette doesn't do normal pics though?
Right I've been testing Camera Zoom FX, Vignette, Camera360 and the stock cam and in my opinion Camera360 takes the best pictures because it has superior image stabilization to Vignette (unless I just haven't found anything), then Camera Zoom FX and lastly the stock cam.
The stock cam captures much less extra detail than the others.
Basically since Camera360 is the only free one I recommend everyone tries it. Watch out though, if you set it to save 100% it compresses it's images the same way the stock cam does but if you set 90% you get the best this app can take.
This includes any Arc owners that come across this thread.

Yeah I found that. Still can't find anything for image stabilisation though.
I seriously think Camera360 Free takes the best pictures.
LoL, i never needed an image stabilization,
Even if i enabled it in stock SE cam app, i noticed no difference
Vignette is best snapper and the best editor(especially when editing in full resolution)

All my Vignette pics come out shaky to the point that it looks terrible.

Have you used a pirated version or the paid (or the trial). Maybe you could try some other versions. You can also find older versions.

3.1 MP is standard. There should be a button (second one from the right) with the resolution in it (e.g. 3.1MP) if you click on it, you should be able to choos up to 8MP.
I can't get Vignette to take good pics, they end up even worse than stock despite being 5 times as big (I'm talking about shakyness/preservation of small details). Camera360 Free consistently takes better pics though. Unless SE fix this issue I reckon I'm gonna keep using Camera360 Free for all my still shots that don't require zooming or vids.
Hello!
UPDATE: (Complying the Requests)
"How to take good photos with your LG Optimus One (P500) [But it works with ALL PHONES!]"
FAQ:
1 - Which Camera App I use to take nice photos?
The Stock Camera App is the best to take sharp photos! (as well as the CyanogenMod native cams)
I recommend ProCapture as an nice alternative for Stock Camera. (It has several config options)
2 - What are the settings to take nice photos?
Always set the Picture Size the higher resolution possible! In the case of Optimus One set resolution on "3.2M Pixels", set the Picture Quality on "Super Fine", no Color Effect, Flicker Reduction on "Automatic" and NEVER! NEVER use Zoom! (because digital zoom is CRAP! Unless your phone has Optical Zoom!)
Other factors:
1) Ilumination:
* To take photos by day, set White Balance on "Daylight"
* To take night photos (or lowlight) set White Balance on "Cloudy".
2) Distance from your goal:
* To take Mid-Range photos like people portraits or big objects, set Focus on "Normal" or "Automatic".
* To take Landscape photos, set focus on "Normal" or "Infinity".
* To take Macro photos (very close photos) or small objects, set Focus on "Macro".
3) Exposure:
If necessary, adjust the Exposure of your Camera to achieve better results in dark ambients. *I don't recomment to set Exposure more than +8 or the picture will be very noisy.
TIPS
1) If you like to make Macro Photos like me, improvise a place or object to not move the camera while taking the photo and set Timer on capture options to reduce the Blur. (so you can use a flashlight to illuminate the object with your hands if necessary).
2) Have preference to "hold" the camera button until the object becomes focused and the square target becomes green, if it turns red, slide your finger to the camera center to cancel the photo and try again. (this avoids blurring photos)
APPS RECOMMENDATIONS
1) ProCapture (Nice Camera App with all configurations that you'll need!)
2) Pixlr Express (Best App to adjust photos and to add Filters, Effects, Overlays and Borders on photos). * Try the "Auto Fix" option, it has shown me great results!
3) Afterfocus (Awesome App to make Focus adjusts like as if they were taken on DSLR Professional Cameras!)
* sorry about my english, if I made some gross grammatical errors, please correct me! (pm-me)

Well.. I set the exposure according to the brightness of where I'm taking the picture, I set focus to "MACRO", so I improvise a way to keep the phone quiet and......... CLICK! I take the photo! =D
Later I use Pixlr Express to adjust brightness/contrast or put filters! Some photos are beautiful when you do bokeh/focus using After Focus app too.
I'll see if I find courage to make a detailed tutorial! lol

Nope. There is no Wide lens on Google Pixel
Sample pics
I tested it and it really makes the G6 camera live up to its true potential! Cant believe the difference http://imgur.com/a/blrWe
For anyone that also uses Norton, there is a conflict and Norton will flag it as maleware. You can't "trust" it and you can't dismiss the Norton notification.
Everything works for me except photosphere. It will capture a photosphere image, but it's distorted and stretched.
Despite that, the HDR+ function works so good, and I think it looks better than the LG camera.
I've tested it, result: both are good, but LG more real and google HDR+ more punchy. However I fiind LG calera better...
No matter how much 3rd party camera offers, only stock camera takes better picture.
thanks for this post! wouldn't know otherwise, i did test it and its pretty awesome!
Especially more realistic colours in low light if you can keep the camera stable. Not to be used for moving subjects.
In Daylight, the G6's camera is great by itself so i probably won't use it in those scenarios.

Left is LG Camera, Right is Google camera w/ HDR+
Real life looked very close to how the Google camera processed the image.
@dkimmortal that comparison is great! Can't believe how Google app made a difference there!
Here's my quick comparison also, difference is night and day! What's wrong with LG?
Testing it so far seems its shocking in low light? Images are so noisy, poor colour.
Sounds great, but can't even get it to install on my G6 (european).
I Download the apk, click ist to install, but just can't hit the "install" button, just "cancel".
Of course "other sources" are allowed in settings. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

This camera is Google's (pixel camera to be more precise) and the phone it was made for has only one lens, so I dont think there is a way to get the other lens working (unfortunately)

You may have some app that have screen overlay on (draw over other apps) like screen rotation or f.lux. Find it and disable that permission when install this.
Tried it today in low light and its a significant improvement. Not sure about daylight so will look at that as well. Obvioulsy only works with one lens.
Mine keeps crashing sometimes when I take a photo - I think it might be due to setting the resolution at 16:9 (9.7mp) resolution. Missed a great shot as well!

Full sense:
I try use "Night Shoot" mode, same white. Then I try reduce light to shoot:
full sense:
Yes it's work, but anything on street are black.
Then I try GCam:
full sense:
My GCam without config, color is not vivid enough,
but overall the result is much much better then inbox camera app.
It's another photo take with inbox camera,, default setting, the banner is "RED", not "white"
As you see, the Mi-camera always record bright red light as WHITE.
Thanks GCam,it's save me much.

That GCAM is not good. It only offer 12mp, in order to get full benefit of the 27mp, and the best overall GCAM, you need this one

Delete data before installing. Stock camera is 2x fold worse compared to this GCAM.
1. HDR Enhnached
2. HDR Enhnahce 30 frames
3. Lib patcher - Chroma denoise 1.0, luma denoise 0.5
Do not take a picture, until the one you shot does not process completely, open the picture and check the loading phase. It is slow but its worth it.

The stock camera app (EU 11.10.12) always makes "light of any color" white at night.
For example, the blue and yellow LED string lights on the Christmas tree have all turned into "white LED"

Do not take a picture, until the one you shot does not process completely, open the picture and check the loading phase. It is slow but its worth it.

You need to both enable HDR Enhanced + from the main initial settings, and into the advance settings (main is the motion picture section, and advanced you set it to 30 or 45 fps, i set min to 45 fps. The pictures with this settings are stunning.

Last week I go Boracay and take a shoot of 7-11 near airport.
Use inbox camera app & HDR On. The banner of 7-11 totally white:
Full sense:
I try use "Night Shoot" mode, same white. Then I try reduce light to shoot:
full sense:
Yes it's work, but anything on street are black.
Then I try GCam:
full sense:
My GCam without config, color is not vivid enough,
but overall the result is much much better then inbox camera app.
It's another photo take with inbox camera,, default setting, the banner is "RED", not "white"
As you see, the Mi-camera always record bright red light as WHITE.
Thanks GCam,it's save me much.

The HDR is not as crazy as Samsung devices. The HDR do not make much difference. Hope xiaomi can work on the camera app. I like the pro mode on the mi note 10 pro.

What is Google Camera (AKA GCam)?
Google Camera is the camera app for the Google Nexus and Google Pixel phones. It is not designed or intended to be run on other phones.
What is HDR+?
HDR+ is Google's proprietary image processing routine. HDR+ employs image stacking to control exposure, and also to preserve details, reduce noise, increase sharpness, etc. It is an all-in-one package.

The Night Mode is very noisy. I think the Stock Night Mode from xiaomi is more accurate.

I agree. Gcam has better details in daylight. The main benefit IMO is using the 3.7x lens. It is so much more detailed in gcam, especially indoors.
And, of course, astrophotography. You can't beat that.
This appears to just be links to the two best known Gcam dev's Gcam versions rather than specific versions for the Mi 10/Pro.

Hi! one question, I installed the app en de XML..but how can I toggle all the lenses? Kind regards Tom
Depends which app you installed, after some research (actually hours of playing around) I came across some apps that have the option of adding additional lenses.
Several of the Gcam 7.4 I tried were not stable so I m using Urnyx05's 7.3.018. version 2.1.
I ve attached my config, you have to go into settings and enable the other lenses, I dont think the config enables them. (edit: it does on ports that support it, edited XML)
It might also be worth following the Note 10 Gcam thread too, as the cameras are the same, the same apps and configs should work too, although I ve not tried them yet.
Install burial beta 7
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3_Burial_release_beta_7.apk
Then apply my in customized xml attached and you will be happy
Tried 4 different cameras and none are saving night sight pictures
It takes the picture, a preview shows in the bottom right, but then it just disappears
I ve had that sometimes, now I just cant view pictures via the camera, got to go to the gallery, using burial and the config 2 posts up.
It takes like 20 seconds to save night sight photos and I don't know why
Usually show up is photos app after 20 secs
Probably cos its stitching all those images together. Not that impressed with Burial tbh, lots of noise in night mode.
Does the gcam record hdr video in 10bit bt 2020 Color space at 4k 60Hz or just 8bit?
Anyone else not not able to use other cameras with ARNOVA8G2?
FAQ says to tap the screen and a tree will appear. I see no tree.
I've taken a photo of a toy cat and some printed text/pattern for comparison. I keep hearing that gcam blows the stock cam out of the water but I just don't see it. The stock photos are much warmer indoors, but I have lightroom mobile on my phone so that doesn't bother me too much. To my eyes, the stock app does a much better job at resolving fine detail and I have no idea what the gcam app is doing in the 3.7x zoom. Also the portrait mode, while probably sharper than the stock app, doesn't really do much background blurring.
For selfies, I get it. I think gcam captures more detail but I always need to touch them up because gcam seems to pump up the red channel far too much.
Here's a dropbox link to the photos.
These were all taken with Urnyx's 7.3 v2.3: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk and the yan1.xml config file.
EDIT:
I've found another gcam version (Burial) which gives me better results. I also tested out the Lightroom camera which I am a big fan of. There is more noise in the Lightroom photos but there's also more detail. The best example of the difference in detail is to look at the dark grey around the text. In real life it's a very fine cross hatching. The stock camera renders this as a mix of diagonal lines, hatching and smudges. Gcam does better abut renders it more as black dots to the right, pretty good in the centre but a little smudged and then diagonal lines to the left. The Lightroom camera looks more like the actual pattern, albeit with more noise and less sharpening. It does soften as you move right to left but it's the most consistent of the three.
Here's the Dropbox link.
Lightroom is also much warmer but again that can be easily dialed in. For the purposes of this I've just left everything on Auto.
Not sure which one I'll use. I might need to do some more testing.
I ve been using Burial 7.3.018 months, waaay better than stock, you can add each lens too.
