Google’s stock Android KitKat camera app arrives on Google Play with new Lens Blur mode

Google today released its stock Google Camera app (via Android Police) for Android users running Kit Kat. The app includes a new mode, Lens Blur, for that fancy bokeh effect, as well as support for Photo Spheres and Panoramas.
