9 Apps to Transform Your Android Phone Into a High-End Camera

Most new Android phones these days have a 5- or 8-megapixel camera, as well as a handful of advanced features and settings. And unlike Apple's iPhone, many Android phones allow you to tweak basic camera settings--such as the white balance and exposure value--so you can get some really great photos out of them.

The iPhone App Store still has the advantage in photo apps, however--and it's a shame, really.

Thankfully, the number of Android camera apps is growing. A few successful iOS camera apps have migrated over to the Google side, as well. But beware: You'll run across a lot of duds and cheap knockoffs that aren't worth your 99 cents. Luckily for you, we scoured the Android Market (as well as other Android app stores), tested as many photo apps as we could, and selected the very best for your buck.
