Snapture, Best Camera, Camera Genius, Photogene, etc.

What are your favorite camera apps and why?

There are just so many of them, and it's kind of overwhelming...
 
I really like PhotoForge because it has a great mix of quick & easy editing options, fun effects, and downright powerful editing tools available. I know there are at least a handful of other favorites out there, but I really like this one.
 
I primarily use Camera Genius because I really like the anti-shake feature (takes photo as soon as your hand stops shaking). Yesterday I bought Snapture because of all the hype and I thought it was a huge waste of money.
 
[app]Photogene[/app] and [app]PhotoForge[/app] are my most used photo apps.

I like [app]ColorSplash[/app] a lot too, but that takes a lot of time to create a good pic.

Occassionally I'll use [app]PhotoCanvas[/app] as well.
 
There are so many!

Looking at my "photography" page on my iPhone, these are the ones I use most:

Genius - Love the big button feature
Best Camera - Just got it, but love that it can send to facebook... Great quick filters too!
CameraBag - Probably my least used photo app
Photofx - Was nice until they updated and actually took some functionality away
ColorSplash - Time consuming, but great photos can come out of this app
Photogene - Lots of editing options in this one
TiltShiftGen - Potential to make some great tilt shift photos
AutoStitch - Makes great Panoramic shots easy!
 
My favorites are Photogene and Pano. I also use NoiseBlaster when needed. Everything else like camerabag and such are just nice to haves.
 
Anybody else tried snapture or best camera? Those two are coming up on the app store ranking.

I just started playing with Best Camera. I like the community aspect and the easy to use filters that can be stacked in different ways. It's fun and helps you look at your pictures in new ways. I also use Photogene, which can do some things (like cropping) that Best Camera cannot.
