With over 150 million downloads of that app, it’s not surprising to see similar iPhone camera apps come onto the market.

Today we’re going to be looking at Pano, a camera app that currently goes for $2 on the Android Market. Pano has no built-in effects; it doesn’t have advanced shutter controls or a built-in timer.

Photos are becoming a key part of the mobile experience. While the stock camera and gallery app combo on Android is quite nice, it may not be perfect. For one thing, you cannot retouch photos on the device. Also, sharing options may be a tad limited. Lightbox Photos aims to solve both of these shortcomings, and add a bit of flair to the process.

Canopy Camera Tools is an app designed to help you get the most out of your mobile photography.
