After continued reading, the N900 just became a true point-and-click camera replacement on top of its tablet capabilities. That alone means one less gadget for me to carry around.
True - this "proof of concept" app alone has turned the N900 into a lomographer's wet dream come true, with endless possibilities still ahead of us.
Don't care about what others say - to me that WAS exciting news.
New update for the camera drivers, the sad news is that it conflicts with kernel-power packages even if I'm using the default kernel (multiboot).
So can we edit the package out to make it not conflict? I don't want to lose overclocking abilities for a camera app..
If the source code's there then the package could easily be rebuilt without the conflict. Of course, it shouldn't be much more difficult to rebuild the modules for the power kernel instead.
I thought that DNG files were built into Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Lightroom 2.5 and higher?
Quite possibly, but Adobe are yet to release either a 64-bit or Win7 compatible version of their DNG codec - the latest version available is for Vist 32-bit only. Pretty poor really, although there are some non-free DNG codecs available but I'm really not that interested to have to pay for it, and certainly won't be buying CS5 just to get a DNG codec!
Since DNG is of little interest to me I would prefer that fcamera had an option to disable DNG output in favour of high quality JPG.
