And that's not dedicated, so you have to launch the app any time you want to take a picture, so you miss photo opportunities doing that. Dedicated is like Windows Phone where pressing the button takes a picture, regardless of the app you're in.


I'd call this an antifeature. Generally, I want to decide when to use the camera. (Also, I have children.)


I guess he misspoke. Regardless of which app you're in or even if the screen is switched off, pressing the camera button for a couple of seconds opens the camera app. Whether you take a picture or video is up to you. It's much faster than fiddling around for the power button and then tap the camera button on screen.


right, for all those times i want to take a picture without being able to tell what it is going to be of.


Well you do know what it is, you just want a pic before it passes. Otherwise, it's just easier and more efficient.
