Also, from my experiene with A Better Camera so far, it seems with 1.5 zoom and above, the pic quality is consistently better. At zoom 1, I keep getting speckled red dots (slightly low lighting). Hope the developers can look into this for improvement. Thanks.

I experienced both the "night/dark pictures with the led flash are yellow and green" issue, and a speckled red/blue dots issue probably similar to what Joseph.skb mentioned.
Both these issues occurred in HQ mode with everything else in default settings.
I'm a little disappointed because BlessN900 is pretty solid and I thought ABC would at least be on par.

night/dark pictures with the led fash are yellow and green, dont buy it.
We all have different motivations, and bring differing calculi to bear, when making purchasing decisions. I think that your motivation and reasoning (i.e., "it might be too buggy to be commercially ready for sale") for warning people against purchasing is perfectly valid. I just wanted to provide an alternative perspective.

Also, I expect improved versions of this program to be made available. It isn't the only program to have ever been released with bugs, some of which were priced at more than $6.

I like bless900 but I find it very slow to take a picture - if I half press to focus, then full press to take the shot, I get a delay of about 8-10 seconds
...
2 questions:
a) is the delay I describe normal for bless900
b) would it be substantially reduced if I upgraded to ABC
b) I doubt, as the shooting process itself is identical in ABC and BlessN900.

I'm running kernel-power-46, btw.
When I try to remove abettercamera there are problems:

Likewise the issue when taking pictures zoomed. I dont run kernel 46 but the stable 42 version and have the exact same circle of pictures which then switches to a single image of what I have taken and then crashes.
To uninstall ABC, please try the following:
dpkg -r --force-all abettercamera

How much faster?
HQ mode with zoom: about 4 times faster (10 sec instead of 40 sec for processing)
Burst/bracketing mode: images saving is 3-4 times faster.
