[Guest AkiraQc]

Is there any way to improve the camera slowness and lack of taking picture in dark area ??

I guess not...

More light means faster and sharper picture.

If you want better pictures you should get a normal camera. Phone camera's never seem to do the job right.

Without a flash there's not really much you can do about it. The camera on the Hero is for taking pictures of static objects in well-lit environments only, it's not much good for anything else.

Camera Zoom FX improved the quality of the pics I was taking, the shutter seems quicker and it has modes to get better shots in lower light situations. It's about a Pound on the market.

Still nowhere near as good as the camera on my very old Sony Ericsson phone though, sadly.

just my 2 cents, but i had one of the 2.0/2.1 builds on my hero the other day, and i can honestly say the camera quality in dark/poorly lit situations was dramatically improved!

I think that it was managing its auto light and auto ISO settings better as in darker pictures it was definitley grainier, but a lot lighter.

Anyone aware if we can take a working camera app from these builds and insert them into MCR3.0 in the normal fashion??

Not tried a 1.6 build, the camera might be better in those builds too???
