D4 w/ICS Camera Question

[sudermatt]

My wife has a Galaxy Nexus and her camera takes a picture REALLY fast...as fast as she can touch the screen.

Can the D4 w/ICS do this? or is the camera shutter speed the same as before.

Thanks,

yes. as soon as we have ics. All of the different camera apps have different shutter speeds.

I am looking for some confirmation of this....before I purchase a D4.

Thanks in advance

It still isn't instantaneous but I had DROIDX , DROIDPro, and original DROID and DROID 4 shutter speed is way faster probably at least twice as fast if not 3 times as fast which is nice cause I take lots of pics of my kids. Its also nice to have shortcut straight from lock screen too

This is because the droid 4 has no 2 level shutter button, so when you tap the onscreen shutter it first has to focus and then take the photo. Most cameras and previous droids had the 2 level shutter, so you could half press to focus and then fully press to take the picture.

I can confirm on the ICS leak that it has tap to focus, so the shutter is more or less instantinous as long as you have focus.
