That's what I'm afraid of, that the G1 can only capture at full resolution. I do use image manipulation APIs for downscaling whenever possible, but that initial G1 hi-res snapshot presents the bottleneck in performance and memory (failure with OutOfMemoryError on the real G1). I hope that the Android Team can at very short notice specify the unspecified G1 camera properties, since required APIs for querying supported camera resolutions are missing in SDK 1.0 r1. Furthermore, I would normally be decoding a low-res preview image instead, but the SDK 1.0 r1 APIs do not support decoding of the (again unspecified) preview format, while the preview cannot even be properly positioned and sized on the screen due to, again, incomplete APIs (let alone their implementation).
I'm close to being forced to give up on Google Android because of its immaturity in media processing (in my case camera input, audio output). Moreover, it is very frustrating to have no indication whatsoever when the various problems will be fixed. My equivalent application for Java ME runs fine on almost all modern Nokia (S60) camera phones (plus some other brands), so I am not talking about any unrealistic goals here but just talking about fixing what is broken or missing in Google Android and its implementation on the T-Mobile G1.
