Let us start a summary of features we want from Samsung.

- Remote-Viewfinder with all functions like the camera app itself
- manual whitebalance (within Auto-Mode and easier accessing)
- manual focus
- face recognition in auto-mode

-an API for manual control of the camera in our own apps, ex: shutter speed, Aperture, everything in "expert" mode, etc.
-time lapse option that bypasses the preview requirements. ex: time lapse with screen off to save battery
-unlimited continuous mode. ex: take pictures as fast as hardware allows and save them until the SD card is full

Speaking of remote, how about publishing the remote protocol so we could write special purpose apps with vastly greater control than just launching a "take picture" intent.

And two new options in settings:

1) Don't start camera on power up.

2) Remember my default preference for using the sdcard, don't keep asking on every power up.

+ 1 : Don't start camera on power up., straight to dashboard would be better
+1 for some type of Focus Control

:- 30 Second Shutter Window instead of 16 seconds

Normal voice phone calling!

+1 To remember SD card setting on start up
+1 To not start Camera App on start up
+1 Flash auto fill mode
+1 Higher resolution Panorama modes
+1 3D Photo Options

What about untimed video recording option? Currently limited to 25 minutes.

And of course the most important:

PLEASE ALLOW NORMAL VOICE PHONE CALLING!

Sv: What features do you want updated/integrated from Samsung?

+100000000 for most of those named earlier.

Personally, I am really disappointed with the lack of fine-grained manual controls (even in manual mode). What I would really appreciate is
  • manual focus control
  • manual flash control (mostly intensity)
  • smarter handling of flash in all modes: when popping up the flash in auto-mode, chances are, I did it on purpose. If the light conditions don't seem to make use of flash necessary, use it for fill-in, already.
  • better use of screen estate / refined controls in manual mode. Of course, the huge dials for manual settings do work, but at least for me, they simply steal focus from taking the image. Give me onscreen buttons to modify the function of the zoom-rocker in real time instead, as is done with the dialer on SLRs: hold button for AE and the rocker changes exposure compensation instead of zooming etc...

Manual focus slider

+1 for all above,
personally I've mostly missed manual focus, as I like to take shots of moving objects, or objects that are not yet in view.
is there any workaround app for the manual focus ?
also full remote controls for the remote viewfinder would be nice.
