I saw a small error in your article. When mentioning CameraPlus, the bottom photo with the NYC taxi cabs is the screenshot for Camera+, a different app than CameraPlus.

I think the HTC beats the iPhone for mobile photography, seems to have a lot of power and pixels, how about a shoot-out my HTC v your iPhone ?
Check the stuff on my flickr, cheers

An excellent post. A lot of good suggestions. Either MonoPhix app is really essential if you like black & white photos from an iPhone — great choice, often overlooked by other Top 10 lists.

ProCamera and Camera+ are currently the two best camera replacement apps available, in my opinion. Both have excellent digital zooms. Wouldn’t that make Camera Zoom 2 a redundant addition to this list?

If droid is so great, why are you looking for iPhone Apps ?
