Does the Storm Camera Suck?? Or is it just me??

[helldriver]

Up until yesterday, I've been raging about the camera and video lag, and also locking my storm up, I updated from .75 to .109 and all is well, been messing around with the camera for hours with no problems

sounds to me like the storm isnt alone. The curve 8900 camera works the same way. I wouldnt say it is terrible but ive seen better.

But what I have found with the Storm (9530) is that to take the picture, the focus time to green square is a bit slow, but then when you push the button to take the picture, that it takes the picture about 2 seconds after you want it to!

Is this the way it's supposed to work? Or do I need to adjust some settings.

Like I said, I just wish it worked like a regular camera. But that's just me!

Thanks for any help.

i had the same issues. now i never use the touch screen to focus and take pics. i only use the right conveniece key and also have you upgraded your os? ever since .103 the camera has been much better.

Worse camera on any phone I've owned. I don't even bother anymore. I didn't buy the phone for the camera but what a dissapointment when you want to capture an impromptu moment. I'm better off drawing the image (all I can draw are stick figures btw..). They wouldn't want me to write a review about it because it would consist of 3 letters POS!!

My camera works great, I use it as my primary camera.
