I had been a big fan of Camera360 since my first phone's camera (MyPhone TS1 Duo) starred erring. I found it so awesome. It had so many effect options and settings like Magic Skin we all love. I could only look better with only that cam. Fast forward this year when i got a new phone, Alcatel Touch Glory Idol 2. Of course, I immediately downloaded Camera360. But it looked different. When i initially took pics, they were not as lively but washed out. I continued getting new versions but to no difference. I thought it was my new phone's issue. But it was 3mp, better than my old's 2mp!
Then, I thought it might be because of the version i use. The old one was 2.7.0 and presently, i use Ultimate 4.7.8.
Let me just break down points between the two. 2.7.0 has camera settings for sunlight etc compared to 4.7.8's exposure setting. The latter's didn't make that difference even in it's highest. Using Magic Skin in Sunshine, the image is still washed out in 4.7.8 Blemishes are most noticeable, too. While the former's is more vivid. The 2.7.0 don't support front camera but 4.7.8 does. It also has more effects. 4.7.8 has 22 Scene to choose from although you have to download them which is a pain in the neck. 2.7.0 only has one-auto. Both has picture storage: ShareBox for 2.7.0 and Cloud360 for 4.7.8. Cloud360 is cool because images are broken down in dates. Plus, stored images can still be re-edited with a different effect! That's cool.
Verdict: i still like 2.7.0 better because of the camera settings. I like using Sunlight in dark settings. But if you have a stronger MP for your front and rear cam, you can keep 4.7.8. But for now let me keep both to get the best of both.
