      Many more tools and ways to take photos, especially where you only need to take regional photos. Very versatile, changing settings is a breeze, and there are a lot of settings you can change.

      Much much better than light shot as it integrates well to the ubuntu environment without the need for wine . In addition, it's rich with features and functionality.
