On my 6700 when I activate the flash which looks to be LED it does not fire when I take a pick rather it stays on the whole time until I actually shut it off (the flash) is this a defect or are you guys experiencing this also.

1). Being in landscape mode, is there any way to rotate the camera view to portrait?
2). There is a tweeks\tips thread in the 6600 forum that describes registry edits to raise frames per second amongst other things. With WM 5, the edit (if available) might be in a different place. I'm trying my best to not install any apps (registry editors) until my 1GB MiniSD card comes in. Has anyone explored the registry for the camera?
1). Should the camera button take pictures AND launch the camera app or should\does it only take pictures?
IT DOES LAUNCH THE APP. JUST HOLD IT DOWN FOR AWHILE. DUNNO ABOUT THE PORTRAIT/LANDSCAPE. ALSO, I SYNCED A VIDEO FROM MY PC TO THE 6700 BUT IT IS GREYED OUT. THINK I AM REQUIRED TO HAVE A MINISD CARD....WHICH IS ON ITS WAY. 1GB.
Holding the button down for a couple of seconds does to the trick.
In \HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera|Common, I do see RotateScreen set to 0 but setting it to 1 doesn't seem to offer an option to rotate.
HKey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\ReParam\MP4Large (or Medium or Small).
Change the FramRate value from 10 to 19
Using http://mp4ui.sourceforge.net/ to analyze a .mp4 video file, it states that the framerate is 19, but visually it's still very choppy.
(I did try search, really! It's ... broke at the moment;-/
Anyway, I'm 3 days into my PPC-6700 experience and this swell place has made it a much nicer experience, thanks to you all!
So anyway, is it NORMAL for the camera's flash to come on and stay lit when you click the lil on-screen icon, until you take the first pic? It's like a flashlight or something, how odd....
I don't live in an area with EVDO (for the foreseeable future), so I'm facing those battery issues others have - and I KNOW I'm NEVER gonna be a registry hacker, so ... I just have to get a carry-along AC adapter (can't go futzing with the cradle every day as I head to work) - and while Sprint's Web and phone customer service has been VERY glitchy (ya can't upgrade plans online? And customer service has directed me to a disconnected phone number since Saturday?) the kind folk at the local store (OK, honesty here- my wife works for Alamosa, for now, gulp have helped me with the holes that occurred in my plan after my initial Sprint Website order was canceled "due to unexpected difficulties in fulfillment" or something (nine days of online orders canceled!)
Okay, that was a run-on sentence. Anyway, I love the phone and the fact all of YOU are here to help folks when Sprint, um, lives up/down to its CS reputation
messing with the registry isn't nearly as big of a deal as it may sound. a simple hard reset, and you're back to where you started.
you should give a couple a try.

Does anyone else experience an overexposed spot in the middle of the picture when the flash option is turned on? It's about the size of a quarter (looking at the PDA's screen). Not there when I turn the flash off.
Anyone else notice the video quality is substandard? Mine skips quite a bit. I do have it store directly to the minisd, however. Not sure if it makes any difference.

how did you decide on "19"?

Video is very taxing on any system. Try it with 30 fps, which is TV speed, and you see a very jerky video that was recorded. So as 19 seems to be a good setting, I just left my mistake posted as infinite wisdom!
No one else seems to know about my camera quality question....so I am just going to have to experiment. I am going to be replacing my current phone, so it is a perfect candidate just waiting to volunteer as the lab rat for these experiments.
makes me wonder if over clocking would enable higher fps
