Ehhhh... just some blogger either naieve or knowing of TMO trying to create some hype around his article.

I think the N900 camera is great. Improvements to its functionality would be excellent, but I'm still going to reach for my Nikon when I need to take a photograph, and my N900 will still be waiting for the bug fixes in PR1.3...

Anyway, the expectation wasn't exactly warranted in keeping with the low profile topics that Conversations chooses to deal with, but understandable nevertheless...

I hope they add Touch Focus, Smile detection and a lot more features with the camera interface. Its camera is great, but its interface failed to impress any of us

Lack of Voice Guide is another

i just downloaded it this morning and was fooling around a bit with it. coming from a nikon dslr, what fcamera does on A FREAKING PHONE IS BLOODY AWESOME. the level of control it offers is pretty amazing.

i have never seen this on any phone camera before.

the out of focus shots you can take make for great subject / portrait images where you want the subject to be in focus while the background is blur. sure you can do it with the default camera app but that is automatic and it doesn't always get it right. having manual control is what makes this app excellent!!

kudos to the team that developed this.

If I had the Maemo development skills right now, I'd build a work inspection application using the N900 camera and this API. Mount the phone in a stand, zoom in on your work, use the camera to take and annotate shots. Would be great for assembly instructions...

Anyone else getting 'operation failed' when opening the camera app? even after a full reboot (and battery pull)?
