I just started using a 9800 and seem to be having difficulties with my camera. I can take pictures (and the quality is fantastic compared to my Bold 9000), but the response time is horrible. When I press the button to take the picture, it's roughly 5 seconds before the camera even snaps the picture.... which makes shots of moving objects almost impossible. Considering most of my pictures tend to be of my 3 year old, this poses a huge issue since it's a nightmare to get him to sit still long enough to take pictures of him.
I checked all of the settings and cant find any that will make the pictures snap any faster. I thought setting the Scene Mode to "Sports" might help, but there was no change at all.
Is this happening to anyone else? Or better yet, is there a setting that I may be overlooking that will speed things up? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

It takes my 9800 about 3 seconds as well. Fairly common for digital cameras. My Nikon seems to take forever.

Same here, my N1 and Bold 9700 were much faster. Also lost sepia, b/w and a good macro setting going to this phone from the Bold.
It seems that the Autofocus - Single Shot setting takes even longer but gets better focus.
