I've read about it in several places, but the camera is just slow, I don't know why it happens. the camera responds slower than a 6 year old feature phone from Nokia :eek:

It was slow on stock rom and no it's slow on CM7. I've tried an app like camera FX zoom, but still it seems to take 2 seconds from the time you press the button to the time it actually take the photo. when shooting a moving object, even a slow moving one, this is very frustrating.

any suggestions?

Have you tried cleaning the lens? A little dust messes with the focus which prolongs picture time. Also you can grab the miui camera apk and push that to your /system/app folder. I've found it to be a nice upgrade over stock.

I routinely use my camera and do not see those issues. I do keep the lens clean and that is probably a help. Do wish I had a flash sometimes, but there are always work-a-rounds for that.
