Default Is this the best camera on market - Camera ZOOM

Is anyone else using this - its getting loads of updates right now and its very close on features already to Snap Photo (timer, white balance, filters, horizon, stability, etc).

It started off with just 4x digital zoom and was kind of basic, but a few updates later, its looking pretty cool.

Its also really quick and easy to use, so I'm sticking with it for now and hoping they do the few last features that it still needs like burst mode and pre-focus, etc.

The devs are very helpful and have already included one of my ideas into the last update.

Their web site is :
http://www.androidslide.com/camerazoom

You can choose your own shutter skins and borders too and it has some cool animations.

Also have a look at Camera Pro - its also a good contender for best camera app, also lots of updates and new features - although I can't find a website for that.

Just discovered androidslide released a picture frame pack!

They're really cool borders, they work straight away in the app - nice!

I think the Snap Photo did a good zoom - shame Camera ZOOM doesn't do trackball but its got a cool circular zoom and they'll probably add it soon I hope?

But if you want a really professional camera app with all the features and not hidden options screens, check this one out ... simply amazing!

Hi I'm the lead developer of Camera ZOOM and just discovered this thread through the referral stats on to our website.

Thanks for the positive feedback - glad you are both enjoying the app. There's much more to come and we're always looking for ideas from the people who use Camera ZOOM, so keep the ideas coming.

We came up with the app to meet the need in the market for a quality camera app which featured digital zoom and tried to design something fun and easy to use. Since the original release, we have added many more features and are very happy with the application's progress.

With your help and feedback, we will aim to make the best camera app for the Android platform.

androidslide,

Great to see you on this thread! Still loving your app, it really is a great piece of work and so much easier to use than any of the other camera apps.

So I'll get the ball rolling with feature requests :

- Can you add variable shutter speeds?
- More borders - maybe like a Star Wars theme?
- Trackball controls would be great too

Thats all I can think of now - as the app does so much already.

David

Minor point but could you make the zoom controls more sensitive or option to change sensitivity. I noticed Snap does a quicker zoom which I think I prefer, but not everyone might.

thx for feedback - we have a graphic designer who can help with the Star Wars theme - should be one soon.

I'll add zoom sensitivity for this week's release. Some very exciting new features coming in Camera ZOOM 1.4 - watch this space!!

I've put some more pictures from the website here so people can see more of the current functionality :
