Help S5 Camera app vs. Google Camera?

[ergalthema]

I like to occasionally take the photo sphere pics that the Google Camera app can do. It seems like the lens blur/focus effect is more flexible in the Google Camera. What advantages are there to the S4 camera app?

Also, sometimes the S5 camera app asks me to hold the phone still for a very long time (when the lighting isn't super-bright). It seems like I can "give up" and it will use whatever time has been spent to make a pic. It seems like that would be weird at something like a concert - not knowing how long to hold the phone (I trying to take 1 or 2 quick pics at shows, and avoid being distracting as possible).

Edit: I see that the S5 video has some options like slow-motion, which the Google Camera does not. And it can shoot at a higher resolution.

Any experience with the audio at a loud concert for each app?

I haven't gone to a loud concert yet with the s5, but my fiance has the s4 and she's been to a couple and the sound was a major surprise.. I told her she might as well not even bother recording it, but i was wrong.. Especially when compared to a not as loud concert that i was at with my Razr.. So I am expecting the same if not even better from the s5

I recorded a few seconds from a rock show. The audio was distorted. It was a pretty loud show in a smallish venue. I wonder if there is any way to change the audio record level when recording video.
