Decided to start a thread for Xoom/Honeycomb apps for photographers. This is not a thread for camera apps but a thread that a photographer shooting with a dSLR might use in the field, during a shoot, or to edit or view photos.
I will edit this post as new ones are added to make it easy for folks to keep up with.
Available:
Quickpic
Geotag Photos
Sundroid
PicSay Pro
Camera Control
Photaf (free)/Photaf 3d Panorama Pro
Adobe Photoshop Express
Scott Kelby's Photo Recipe Apps I and II
CR2 - a .RAW image viewer for Canon RAW files.
In Development:
Naiar Project
The Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE) - being developed for phones, but hopefully will work OK on tablets.
Does not seem to work:
Camera Zoom/FX
You can add PicSay Pro. It has the Honeycomb navigation elements, but still only works at screen resolution for edits and saves.
Not sure if it's tablet optimized, but you could look into PhotoCaddy. Sounds like what you're looking for
Photaf works well and I worked with the developer to make it more Xoom friendly.
I wanna shoot tethered to my 7d
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
I can say that I don't think Camera Zoom FX plays well with the Xoom.
It only seems to take pics in B/W.
I really love the effects available and would love to use, so if someone else can test, that would be killer.
Thanks
Photoshop works on the xoom

Holding off until we verify. Not up to purchasing it this week.
Camera Apps for Xoom
The Vignette app seems to work well. The interface isn't scrunched up like the others (Retro, Fx, & Zoom). And the quality is good.

It does not work in landscape.
Picplz... although I'm not sure if it's considered a photo app. It has numerous filters and allows a quick upload to FB, Twitter and Foursquare.
Photo display on the xoom
One thing that really disturbed me about the ipad, was the compression applied to all incoming photos by itunes to an already lossy format (jpeg).
Does the XOOM (android) automatically apply compression as a photo is moved onto the device, or can I transfer my jpegs untouched from my computer?
Thanks for any help,

99% sure that since it is a fully open file system, unlike iphone and that we don't have an application to move files for us you files are 100% untouched. If they were, I would think the device is doing the manipulation and that would be poor design

It does not alter the files in any way but the images don't look that great in the native viewer. I have tried with high resolution files and low resolution files on 2 Xoom models and the native Gallery viewer makes them look slightly softer than they should. I use Quick Pic which displays them a lot better. I was actually shocked at first at the fact that they looked that much sharper in one viewer vs the other.
I've been waiting in hopes that Nikon would give Android some love. I own a D3000 and I love the camera. It just seems to make sense that a tablet with the proper photographer's aids loaded on it would be an ideal evolution for those of us who were bitten by the photography bug over 40 years ago. However, nothing I've seen so far gives me any hope with my dream. Has anyone else observed otherwise? Would appreciate any mentoring that anyone is willing to offer. TIA
Adobe Photoshop Express works well and while it has not been updated in forever, I find for a free app it has a lot of what the rest have with a better interface.
I put my paid versions of Camera Zoom FX and Vignette on my Wi-Fi Xoom but have not really played around with them yet so I can't say how they work. A rear camera on a tablet is kind of useless IMO. My DX has a better camera and is far more portable. If I need a real camera I have a nice DSLR. The only camera I use on the Xoom is the forward facing one for video conf.
Just curious, any recommendations based on what's listed so far and what's the best recommendation as for a method of actually getting images onto a Xoom in the field?
I would love to be able to have a tablet version of Nikon Camera Control for my Xoom. That program is the sole reason I still have my 12" AL powerbook G4. I look like a tard with my lappy tethered to my camera for shots. How many of you would find something like this useful? I wonder if Nikon would be open to the suggestion...well, after the tsunami recovery.

I would love a canon version, too. That is actually part of the reason I purchased a Xoom, expecting someone to have an app for tethered shooting/live view. Landscape photographers everywhere would rejoice. I know there is someone working on canon raw image viewing, which would also be huge.

Just got a Nokia 1020, have been using a Samsung Focus for over 3 years. This is my first Win 8 experience.
1. On my Focus, I had tiles for all 4 of my Sons, and it populated their pictures from their Facebook account. I see no such thing in Win 8.
2. Pictures. If I held down on a Pic in WP7, one of the options was to post it on FB. No sure option on WP8. Not even in Sharing.
I know MS invested a fair amount of $$$ in FB and thats why WP7 had so much FB integration. Did that go away in WP8?
Loving the rest of the phone, the Camera is amazing, the speed it installs apps is light speed compared to the Focus. Screen is amazing as well. Very impressed with Nokia overall both in hardware and software.
EDIT...never mind. Took some looking into some more settings, got it all working now.
So I bought the GC110 as a birthday gift to my wife who is a heavy social media user. She always wanted a second phone for Snapchat and she needed a camera to get decent pictures of her recipes.
I was horrified to see that recording video on Snapchat and instagram is noticeably bad! I mean any budget phone would do a better job.
Is there anything I can do?
Thank you

Don't use Snapchat, that's it.
Is anyone on XDA trying to improve the camera performance via mods or roms?
I do not have the skills to improve the camera performance, but the 20 MP Sony sensor is surely capable of better performance. Short of my first attempt at contacting Alcatel...the rep seemed to think updates were unnecessary... what can I do?
In a side note, does anyone know how to get Cortana to use my GPS app (CoPilot) as default? Win 10 Phone wants to use Bing Maps. In 8.1 it was easy to assign a default. Otherwise it's a very capable phone.
For videos, if you have issues with image stabilization, Google Photos now automatically 'corrects' the shakiness. Kinda cool

Interesting about Google Photos. Does one upload the finished video to a website, or is there an on phone app that does this?
There just seems to be more potential in this 20MP sensor. I've read nothing about the Creator Update (coming to mobile soon) helping camera performance.

The Google Photos app has an update that has a 'stabilize' option available.
Pocket TV is a recent trending app since they released their update with new features and content. Honestly i felt amazed using this app because most of the movies are being uploaded to the app even before famous torrent sites releases. They have been providing movies under many genres like action,drama and many. Other side language wise covering all most all indian movie languages. Even i watched bharat (hindi) on this app they were able to provide a clear print hours after theater release. I noticed their servers are fine and streams run smooth. I really enjoyed this app.
