Default Photography apps for Android

I'm heading to the Bahamas in a couple days (yay ), but have decided to leave the big camera here, as I know it's not going to see any use once I get off the plane anyways. However, I do want to take advantage of any opportunities that come my way. I will be bringing a P&S, but it doesn't have ANY manual control, so I was wondering if there were any android apps to add more control to the camera.

I`m on a Samsung Galaxy Captivate running Gingerbread (2.3) if it helps. TIA.

So, is this where I give you a useless crap response instead of being helpful in some way? Isn't that a phone? You know, the type of thing that you gave someone grief for wanting to use on a project? Seriously?

Have you tried looking through Android Market? Google? You know, making an effort?

You're going to the Bahamas and not taking a real camera - shame on you

I'm not sure if apps are the same on each phone, but I have an HTC Inspire, and I love the PicsArt camera app! You can change the white balance, iso, image sound, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and there are several different ways you can change the effects of the picture (oil, drawing, emboss, etc).

+1

On a more serious note: I just got an Android phone. LG Optimus Black (in white). <3 is so far and for a 5 megapixel camera, it's really not that bad. I can adjust the iso, exposure, etc... not too shabby.

Well....ya, but you don't understand, I'm allowed to use my phone (actually I have nothing against using a phone cam, it's a great tool if you can't afford to take a 'real' camera, just don't think it will actually improve your photography)
To the second part of your comment, yes, I have looked through the Market, and tried out a couple apps, but they were all just editing effects. I would keep looking, but I don't have the time, energy, or data plan to try them all, so I was hoping the collective will of thousands of photogs on Android would be able to share their opinions.

I've changed my opinion several times, and probably will much more, but I know that ultimately, I'm not going to use it on the ground, and don't want to have to worry about it while I'm at the resort.
