G4 vs. G5 vs. V10 app review on H815
Pros and Cons of G5 camera vs stock G4
+ Timelapse of up to x60 (you can do this much better with lapse it app)
+ Take a selfie by just holding your face still a little annoying because it takes pictures itself. The hand things is also available like on stock)
+ Looks much nicer
+ Some menu buttons rearranged better
+ Replace stock camera app fully
+ Takes pictures and videos without bugs
- I found that sliding the manual focus up and down was not as smooth but choppy
- I had a glitch (see attachment) when stopping the dual camera recording.
- The steady camera feature is really bad on g5 and g4 because of how it distorts the video
- All help text is so small, you really can't see anything at all.
- Need root and possibly backup to install.
Pros and Cons of v10 camera vs g4 stock and g5
+ Manual video iso, exposure and focus
+ Manual mode microphone direction
+ L/M/H bitrate mode for manual video
+ Frame rate options for manual video. UHD has 1fps, 2fps, 24fps and 30fps so this could be used for the time lapse feature. FHD up to 60fps and HD up to 120fps
+ UHD mode disables any stability and ois so you won't have that distortion
+ Install easily as a regular apk and keep your stock camera without needing root
+ Very stable and no bugs (used it for 2 months)
- Cannot save to external sd card unless you convert to system app.
- Doesn't replace the stock camera unless you manually uninstall it. I'm not sure if you can set it to open from the lockscreen swipe shortcut or volume button double tap.
- Resolution buttons in menu appear twice (just a minor aesthetics bug)
- Looks like stock G4 app not the nice g5 redesign
- Can only timelapse in 1fps and 2fps mode and not as many choices as on g5.
As mentioned, the lapse it app on the play store (paid for full version) works much nicer for timelapse because it periodically takes a picture and you then render these into a video. This avoids the 5 minute limit for the LG apps and doesn't get the phone really hot and eat up battery. But it is limited to 1080p recording.
