I installed the Retro Camera app for my Captivate and am really enjoying it! Here are a couple samples using the Pinhole camera.

I just downloaded that app - I post some pics when I get some time play with it!

It's a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to seeing what you post.

I didn't think having a camera on my phone would be enough to get me to take pictures again.

Couple of cool games to grab - Winds of Steel (my son loved this one so much I bought the full version) and Raging Thunder II (playing the demo). I also found Quake 2 and have run the demo - it's fast! I can't believe how well the Galaxy handles graphics.

I am little bummed about the GPS - it's a bit laggy using Google Maps. It's apparently a known issue - hopefully Samsung releases an update (2.2) soon that will fix it and add Flash.

I think that Vignette is the Android camera app to have. Although I think that the Retro and FX camera apps a fun.

I'm going to check out that app. I think there's a demo for it. That would certainly be nice. I don't wanna buy something I don't like!

There is a demo and it is fully functioning other than the resolution which is limited to small. I was going to buy the app but as I may be switching phones I'm going to hold off for now.

I have the demo... It would be nice to be able to preview the effects as you apply them. I'll try it out some more.

It's relaxing taking in photographs without having to worry about setting up lighting and deal with camera settings. It's all about composition!
