What I see is that for the first several seconds after starting, the
camera app's update rate is fairly fast (though not as fast as the video
call app - about one-half as fast). After a few seconds, then the video
update rates slows down to about an update a second. Then after a few
more seconds it stops, and the unit is pretty much locked up. Sometimes
I can close the camera app, sometimes I have to reboot the unit (by
holding down on the power key for several seconds).



Yeah, it's unusable here. The OS quite often offers to close the Camera 
application as it has stopped responding. The application consumes massive 
amounts of CPU and the low frame rate (~5fps, sometimes less than 1fps) makes 
framing a shot next to impossible.

Definately needs more work as it's not currently usable - but even if it were, 
the camera image quality when indoors is frankly awful (this applies to 
internet web video too).

Agree here. I had higher hopes for it, especially singe its existence
made me forget about making own camera application months ago.

On the possitive side there is another camera application project on
garage and no-one stops us from making a a far better application with
open source ;)

It's brutal ...  seems like this was an exercise to "check the box"
since there's a camera in there
