Camera on locked screen - iOS5

I'm curious, does anyone use the camera icon on the locked screen of their iPhone running iOS 5?

I believe you double click on the home button to see it.

I'll confirm this in two hours, once my iPhone 4S is up and running

Yep. I find it a tad quicker to go ahead and take pictures without swiping in and then clicking on the camera app.

Neat feature: it won't show you past photos in your roll to prevent someone from bypassing your security to see photos on your camera

I use it all the time. My phone is often locked, I use a security code since I have work email on there too. It's way faster for me, nice feature to capture those crabby kids of mine who don't want their photo taken.

this feature comes in handy...especially now that my 11 months old son is walking and what not. just grab phone...and start snapping away

Never even caught this feature... i like it.

I don't use it...unless I'm going to take a picture or video LOL!!!
I actually have my camera icon in my utility folder so if I have the screen on, I'll lock it and use the shortcut

In all seriousness though, I never liked the thought of hitting a button, then sliding to unlock, then entering my password, then finding the camera app just to take a picture

So the camera shortcut (and the other OS5 additions) got me to try an iPhone
