Studio Camera

Studio Camera asks for more attention than a stock camera app, but in return it usually promises finer control over how a shot is made. By our assessment, that is exactly where its value sits: it sounds aimed at people who want a more serious camera tool on a phone or tablet, not just the default shutter button. The honest downside is the usual one for this class, which is extra settings and a little more time before the picture is taken. In practice that means more deliberate shooting and less of the one-tap feel of the built-in camera. It belongs to the crowded middle ground between simple camera apps and heavier pro-style tools. Studio Camera is the kind of app that rewards patience and a bit of camera literacy, and the controls are the main point.
