If you want better pictures get an aftermarket lens, the reasonably priced ones just clip on to the phone. You'd use the lens to zoom in, not the app.
Any recommendations that would fit a Z8..?
I don't have that phone, but the clips are supposed to be universal. In theory any would work.
Yeah but who wants to carry around a case of lenses for just taking random snapshots on their phone?
Someone who wants good pictures from a crappy cell phone camera.
It sort of defeats the whole purpose of having a camera on your phone if you still have to carry around a camera bag full of lenses though doesn't it?
Probably, but what's the option again? 1, crap pictures; 2, carry lenses; 3, buy a dedicated digital camera and carry that around
I usually just use the crop feature to zoom in on the picture after I take it and just select the part I wanted. Seems to work pretty well. I have a Motorola that wasn't particularly expensive.
That works but only so far. Better optics will always yield a better image.
