I want to recommend a program for photographers with iPhones
It's called Lenstag, and I don't know if there's an Android Store version. Basically it lets you inventory your equipment in your system so your serial numbers are logged in case of theft. In addition to this, it maintains new and used prices! For example, it's saying that my Lumix DMC-LX7 is worth $280 used! I'm quite happy with that price, I'm hoping to buy a replacement while in Phoenix next week and sell this one to offset the cost of the new one, and knowing that price will help move the LX7.
Could be very handy if you went to insure your gear: if you registered everything, you'd have a list of all your equipment with serial numbers and new prices in one place.
The program also lets you transfer ownership of equipment when you sell items, which is cool. And you can report items as stolen! And apparently, it will inspect metadata on posted photos and watch for serial numbers of your equipment turning up, presumably in conjunction with things reported as stolen. It didn't list any photos as having been taken with my equipment, but none of it has been reported stolen, so I'm not sure about that feature.
I bring this up as I just received an email from the creator, who has added a new feature: online camera manuals! Not available for all equipment, only most: my LX7 is not there, it's still a cool feature.
The program is free, there's also a Pro version that has instant registration of your equipment for a $20 annual fee.
