While this is an obvious plug on the forums, I agree that ProCamera HD is the best camera app for iPad right now.

Previously I had been using Camera+ for the steady-shot feature, and occassionally the filters and other tools for editing images, but it’s an iPhone app and the UI is not ideal for use on the iPad.

ProCamera HD is designed for the iPad and offers far better controls and overlays for taking photographs. (like being able to independently lock white balance, exposure, and focus) It also offers video features, which Camera+ does not.

However, it’s purely a camera app. There are no editing features whatsoever, which means I have to jump between apps rather than being able to do everything in one, which can slow things down a bit.

I also miss the ability to strip location data from images (you can turn geotagging off, but not strip location data from existing images) and save to a 1200×1200 (max) image size. Sometimes I don’t want to include location data/exif information, and 1200px is more than enough if I’m just sending a quick photo of something over iMessage. That’s actually a more general problem I’ve had with iOS though, so far running images through Camera+ seems like the fastest way I’ve found to do that.
