You see: at 8MP resolution, the average picture size is 1.5MB with the stock camera app, but average 4MB with the A Better Camera app!!!

Wich camera app? Unfortunately I bought A Better Camera App from Play Store, but it seems that is impossible to switch the microSD as default memory. I don't like to use internal memory for photos.

Unfortunately that's a restriction of the Android KitKat system. You have to install SDFix to get access to the sd card by installed apps. I use FolderMount to redirect the folder(s) of other apps that don't offer the possibility to choose the storage device. Big game data files for example.

\n\nUninstalled A better Camera, re-installed (the free version) and now it works with SD card, without external mounting program. Now I would try again with payed version. Maybe it was a bug.

I used the paid version from the beginning and it could use the SD card immediately, although SDFix was already installed in my system.
