We're also trying to fix up a few bugs relating to DNG saving (dcraw support, improved DNG output) and a few interaction issues with the built-in camera app we missed the first time around. And packaging-wise, we're still trying to sort out a clean solution for kernel-power.
We'll get that out this week, and assuming there aren't any showstoppers, promote to extras once we have the upvotes.
Thanks to everyone for all the great feedback so far!
speed speed speed. decrease the actual time i takes to take a pic and then there would be something to rave about. i love my 900 but a 5mp sony i bought 6 years ago takes a faster shot. my dad took 5 pics with his iPhone 4 in the time it took me to take one and the quality was not much different.

That mostly depends on the Tracker's Thumbnailer hogging all your disk and CPU bandwidth. FCam guys are not to blame for this, Nokia is.
My post about speed was not to do with anything fCam has done so far, but more was about if they (or anyone) is gonna make an improvement on the N900 camera, IMO speed is where the improvement needs to be. Quality of the picture is not a big issue as they most of the time quality looks good.
Had to test Nokias own Camera application with preview turned off (tap screen, tap top of window and turn it off). I could take pictures constantly quite fast. How fast cesarcesar you would like to take pictures?

Ugh this is kind of bad. I just got my nokia n900 today and fully intended to use the raw data for testing with a calibration field...I'm going to calibrate the optical parameters, including principle point, principal distance, axis of symmetry and radial distortion parameters. I ran into the garbage DNG issue and found this fun post.
