Does anyone know if there is an app to use the camera to take pictures/video?

Tabletman: I've hunted on my N800 with no luck. Apparently the only functionality of the camera SO FAR is video calls.
I also tried YouTube's Quick Capture here:

It did not detect the webcam.

Btw, I tried N800 in a store (did not buy YET 
) and pretty much the only thing I hated based on that was that the webcam is on the side of the device, and it feels strange when looking at the pic on the screen and you see sort of a side shot/half face shot of yourself.. would be better if it was in the middle

I agree, viip. I thought mine was accidentally angled too sharply, but then compared it to another one at CES.
Oh... To answer this original thread, I found this at the maemo garage:
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/motiondetector/
So maybe it's possible to just get a camera. But would you WANT that kind of quality image?

Nokia do need to do something about the N800 camera image quality in future firmware updates. The picture quality is absolutely dire, there's way too much noise even in a well lit room (yet more noise in low light) and is it just me or are the colours overly saturated for everyone else too?

Image mine produces appears OK for a 640x480 camera. Am I right on the res? Color accuracy looks good IMO. I guess we can't compare until someone figures out how to capture an image...

I'm not surprised at the low res. Imagine trying to send higher res live video over GPRS...

You could use the camera and then take a screen cap - although the pic would be really bad, at least you'd have an image.
Even though the camera is not up to the standard of even today's worst phones, I would have liked the option at least to take some VGA stills and low res video - especially since there's that potential 8 gig of memory there. (which as a side note, is very useful for quickly dumping N93 videos to on the move)

Are you seriously telling me there's no way to take a picture with the built-in camera? Is this some kind of a joke?
No seriously. You can't be serious, right?
