Anyone have recommendations for a camera App for the iphone or ipad?

I don't have a specific use in mind. I am a casual user of them as I use DSLRs and M4/3 for my serious photos. But I might like one that enables Manual, does better on HDR, maybe even saves RAW files.

I just noticed the current Apple standard App now has a tele slider. I like that vs. pinching.

I use Snapseed. Very easy to use and really good results!

Features and benefits of each?

I get the list when I search the App store. But That doesn't help choose.

Also wondering why the one on my iphone has panorama but the one on my ipad not?

Well, the App Store has all the details, but here are a few:

Camera + is a replacement for the native Apple Camera App. It provides manual control over all the things you can control about the camera, and does pretty extensive post-processing (for JPEGs on a phone), too.

Snapseed is a post-processing tool for special effects. Some of its controls provide a different look from other post-processing tools. It does selective retouching.

Hipstamatic is a camera app that provides the look of lomography — old film point-and-shoot box cameras. It is a bit of a cliche, but fun for some things like party photography. It comes with several films, but you can purchase all sorts of "looks". Hipstamatic also has some post-processing effects that are pretty useful. It is great for "that vintage film look" of snapshots from old family albums.

Vint B&W II is a black-and-white camera app that gives you what I call the look of 1950s Double-X film printed on #3 Kodabromide paper. It's fun for street and party photography.

PS Express is the iPhone version of Photoshop Express. It is pretty limited, compared to the desktop version, but it is still useful. Especially cool is that if you use Adobe Creative Cloud, what you do on your phone transfers to the desktop apps on your computer. It does collages and works with layers. It has extensive canned special effects, too.

MyLightMeter is an app that turns your phone into a reflected light meter. The pro (paid) version is actually pretty good, and quite handy if you left your real meter at home. The free version is "nagware" (Buy me! Buy me! You can get rid of ads if you buy me!), so pay for it.

Depth of Field Calc is an app that allows you to enter your camera, lens focal length, and focal distance. Based on that, it graphs the depth of field for you. It's very handy if you need to know what aperture will keep all rows of a group photo sharp at a given distance. If I tell it I'm using my GH4, focused at 20 feet, with a 25mm lens (or set zoom length), an aperture of f/4 will give me a depth of field from 14.17 ft to 78.51 feet. Which is great, because that is about the sweet spot on my zoom! All four rows of my group photo (from 20' to 40' away) will be sharp and clear. The app is equally handy for any situation where you need to know DOF at a given aperture, or to pick an aperture for shallow or deep depth of field.

The latest iPhone still has a better camera system than the latest iPad. Of course, any camera can make a pan if you use a post-processing app that stitches images together. It's just not as easy.

Thanks! I appreciate all your input.

Camera+ looks most like what I'm looking for.

It is a powerful phone camera app! I use it in difficult situations when I need to take over...
