If you could include functionality to disbale the red LED light then I'd jump on board; I know lfocus does this, but I find it quite buggy.
On a side note, is it possible to disable this through a conf. file?

This sounds fantastic!
I have a question regarding the zoom: does it achieve better results than taking a normal photo and then cropping/resampling using a quality algorithm? In other words, does it use sensor tricks to get better results than can be achieved in post processing?
If the geotagging will add latitude and longitude if a GPS fix exists without demanding a network connection, it's a huge improvement over the default camera app.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

How does the 'shallow' mode work ? Where to take the focus from ? Or is always middle of the screen ? I did some experimenting with holding the focus key and moving slightly away from the focused object but I got not so good results.
Do we have to keep all centered for now ? No spot focus selection possible ? Or next version

It takes a quick sequence of shots, combines the frames and performs so-called super-resolution processing.

How does this program compare to fcam?

I have to say I havent touched this app in some time, but the new gui and the quality of photos really impressed me when I tested this new version. Great stuff.

Upgraded yesterday. Impressed at first sight. Interface easier to understand. However, quite instable from last version.
It happened once that most of the screen became black out in Shallow mode but returned to normal by switching to other mode. Also several times the screen freezed when half-pressing the shuttor; also resumed normal by switching mode.
Hope there would be another upgrade to fix those bugs before going for vacation end of next week.
Planning to leave digital camera home and to count on the N900 to capture memorable moments.

I've installed the fcam drivers. I will just have to exercise the patience of waiting for the new version to make it's way into the regular repository.
I will be following this thread for updates.
Love the idea of making thin shots with bokeh effect for portraits.
