Q Camera is bad.

Yes, I have installed MOL2 and I switched the resolution from 1280x1024 to 640x480 to see if that helped, no go. I am impressed with the quality of shots also but just can't take more then a couple and they are always a few frames off the actual photo I am taking if it's a moving picture. It weird, if I take the picture the still frame shows what I snapped but the saved picture is a few frames different then what the still frame shows.

I experience the same issues.... for the advertized 300+MHz processor, it is dog slow in certain areas... can't win them all. If you're phone is still under warranty, I'd make a quick backup and walk it over to a VZW store.... maybe you can get a black one :-)
