Upon Request. A very simple app for taking
pictures with the frontcamera.

http://maemo.org/packages/view/frontcamera/

Does this app actually take this nice quality photos ?

I'm impressed

Thank You

yes, but needs good lightning conditions.

good very interesting apps,

no settings like where do you want to store the pix,
resolution settings qvga 4:3 or vga 4:3 fine
also video settings on front cam...please raise this suggestion

did you tweak someway default N900 front camera driver? quality seems way better than old Mirror app..

I just found out that i cant install this app.

first it says that I'm missing python-gst0.10

than when i try to download it i got this.

nice one.
...should get implemented in stuff.

thanks nicolai

Thanks a lot nicolai, that was very fast.

I know is to much to ask, but as bugoy say, the next step (if you want) for this, could be video (if is possible).

Please push to Extras-testing as soon you consider, this should be available for everyone.

As i see it this app was missing, this is one more step to N900 be perfect device ever (consider the hardware).

Greetings.

Edit: On second thoughts, probably won't be good video recording due the quality of the camera.

Yes it would be cool to have it (if is possible) but everyone have to know that the quality of the video won't be the best (the front camera "needs" good lightning conditions as you say to have the best picture, see mirror for example).

Anyway, that's up to you decide if do it or not, i'm happy just with take picture.
