So I just noticed this on my TAB. Apparently, the video cam app zooms ins o you have to step pretty far back to get everything you want, and the native app has no Zoom function for you to zoom out. So annoying. I also have a XOOM and it is not the same there.
Is there an alternative video cam app I can use that will give me a wider shot of the field?
I have the same issue, if any one has any ideas please share.
I've been looking for a better camera app.
By "better", I am referring to faster/quality. Not instagram and other image manipulation nonsense.
I am also aware that we are limited by hardware, but still there must be something better.
Has anyone found a suitable contender?

Is there any way to improve the quality of the camera? It is almost useless. Rooting or something?

The best camera, IMHO, is LG Camera Pro.
Better Camera App
I am using super app LGcamera (there is free version too) and there is available to set these things:
video bitrate (default is 15MBps) i use 20MBps
audio quality is better (FULL HD VIDEO) 96kbps, mono, 48000HZ
you can change your save destination
take a photo while recording a movie
....and more
Hey guys
thanks for the opinion!
I've tried for a while jb+ and I enjoyed it more than the stock one (was faster and minimal UI). I did not enjoy however the way you change settings, it seemed awkward. Also the video recorder does no support 1080. Another thing was the lighting setting, auto mode was rubbish and I had to manually select lighting for each photo.
Starting today, I'll be trying LGcamera.
So far, I'm impressed. It really feels solid and works good.
Video supports 1080 and takes photos at 5MP(stock takes photos at 2MP, I believe)
Focus seems better to.
I'd like to ask you guys:
What settings to you use? (focus, photo mode, light)
Also for video
Thanks!
I'm a fan of the stock Nexus camera app and purchased Camera JB+....works for me.

I see no point in recording in 1080p.....just my humble opinion. 720p works for me too.

Does anyone else camera, except LG Camera Pro, which records video in 1080?

Those options have terrible video framerates.
CameraJB+, LGCamera, Camera FV-5, give me bad framerates in video. I'm not sure if there's a fix or something but in darker areas like indoors, the exposure doesn't fix so the framerates dip into the single digits. The only thing I want is just timestamped filenames. Is there a modified Stock possibly?

Hey, I see what you mean and I think I can help you.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Get root access to your device (there're plenty of ways)
2. Unzip the attached archive and replace your device's media_profiles.xml with the one from the archive.
To do that, use Root Explorer app and go to /etc. Copy new media profiles and confirm the replacement. Then, don't forget to set the permissions of the new one to rw-r--r--.
3. Restart your device.
Now you have better sound quality in stock app (48000 kHz, 160 kbps) and you have better fps compatibility.
There're several apps for you to use:
a) For better quality and control, you can use FV-5 Cinema app. You should get fixed 30 fps under default settings.
b) As for LGCamera (the one with the older interface, version number around 5.4), you should set fps to 25 and you will get a stable 25 fps, regardless of the lighting.
c) However, if you are using the newer LGCamera (version 7), you'll have to go for a little trick:
Launch the app, and set the fps to 30. Now, go to Setting tab (the last one), select "Edit camera script" and add the following after the existing lines:
preview-fps-range=30000,30000
Now, restart LGCamera app, and you will have stable 30fps performance.
So, there're 3 options for you, choose whichever you like
P.S. I have P765 with the stock firmware from P760, version 20p.
Thanks but

That trick unfortunately didn't make a difference.. All third party apps are still agonizingly laggy. Thanks though, it was worth the shot.
Hey guys,
after a couple of days with the Z2 I really can't wait for Cyanogenmod to arrive. Although I'm very happy with the hardware, the ROM leaves a lot to desire.
One thing that does seem to be better with the stock ROM is the camera. Between the 4K video recording function and the various other functions that come with the stock camera I was wondering what prevents us from getting the stock camera on a 3rd party ROM? Wouldn't it be possible to extract everything from the stock ROM to another ROM?
If that's not possible, what good alternatives for a 3rd party camera are there? Any recommendations?
Camera FV-5

I just tried the cinema app they offer and sadly it is limited to 1080p and a max framerate of 30. These are really two features I'd like to keep. Still gonna try the camera app and compare it to the stock app. Will post the photos later tonight.

I don't know any good app for 4K video but Camera FV-5 is pretty good for stills...
I use CameraZOOM in my phone as my primary camera app. Sadly, on the TS, it crashes frequently, so I can't use it there. The stock camera app doesn't crash, but it fails to save pics randomly (?)
What 3rd party cameras are you guys using? I dont need high-end features, just a quick snapshot that I can later sync using dropbox. Any recommendation would be appreciated.
Was trying a lot of different camera apps in order to try to compensate for the extremely dissatisfying image quality I get from my TS (are all units crap or might there be a problem with the sensor/wiring on my particular unit).
Anyways, settled for camera 360 for the time being. Allows for correct rotation in the viewfinder (you have to rotate the final image after shooting though) - and it gives me a chance to hide the crappy quality behind loads of effects...

Hi,
Has anyone tried the one plus camera apk on the p20 lite. I am getting noticeably better photos. Major difference being the size and sharpness of the photos and videos. The downsides would be not able to access gallery from the app and the inability to shoot portrait and slowmo. Let me know your thoughts. For the ones who would like to download it, the apk is available at apkmirror.
Thanks
Could you post some examples, maybe even the difference between photos with both camera apps? I am interested in this phone, but the camera reviews are not really positive.
And important to me: is there an option to change the picture resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio? If yes, at what amount of megapixels is it?

Thanks for the informatio, I downloaded the app and tried with a picture of my cat and the hair looked sharper, but I had a problem and won't let me use HDR.
Anyone please upload some comparative sample pictures taken with the stock camera app and this other app.
And/or make it able to download from somewhere in the original size and quality so it is comparable in the best way.
No one?
I can pick the phone up this weekend, but I need to know/see if the pictures are better with that other app.
The ones with the stock app are not the best, so I would like to see a comparison.
The only problem with stock app is how the jpeg file is being processed. It needs to be corected as RAW files are much better in terms of quality.
I know.
But I think it is also possible/easier to have a good app that makes better pictures, even in jpg.
I use Camera FV-5 and it always gives me better quality.
That's why my question stands: please post some comparative pictures.
