From being just an add-on, a camera has become one of things we look forward to in a phone. It has become necessary to have good clicks at a snap of your hand, which you can post to Facebook or Twitter.

So, after acquiring a great smartphone with an awesome camera, what you really need is an app that lets you edit and share. Camera apps really are one of the most popular kinds of apps and not without reason. We offer a treat for all snap lovers with our top 5 smartphone camera apps.
Instagram:
Instagram is the favorite camera app for iPhone camera lovers and not without a reason. Instagram comes with a Vintage filter that makes your snaps connect to a slew of networks, which includes Flickr, Foursquare and Posterous beyond the usual Twitter and Facebook. A 2.1 update adds a remade UI, and an HDR inspired filter called LUX. You can adjust exposure, contrast, sharpening and saturation too. The only sad par about is that they are still to come out with an Android version. Its pretty much free.
