There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I just compared my Note 7 to my friends S7, both take picture almost instantly and then it takes about 1 sec to process and display for review (if you have that option turned on). Or you can keep button pressed and keep taking pictures, probably burst of 10 pics sec, maybe more. All this is on a par or better than my dedicated DSLR. The 1 sec review delay is completely irrelevant IMO to picture taking process and I may even turn it off at some point. I have no visible delay accessing pictures from gallery (but only 50 pics taken, there maybe slow down when I get thousands). If somebody complains about Note 7 camera, I think there maybe something wrong with their particular unit. Just to make sure: this is for rear mounted cam, I took 1 pic. with selfie cam, just to test it works and that just about as much usage as it will see. But just for the fact that it has fixed focus lens (I think), I wouldn't expect much from it.
As far as gallery goes, I don't like the way it sorts pics from all folders together, by date and can we finally have option to display names? Finding right video without name is sometimes impossible, but thankfully there is dedicated video gallery on Samsung website which solves that issue, but why not have just one gallery that works right.
