Love the double-tap home button action to open the camera app. I find myself taking more pictures because I can snap a picture so insanely fast. Love it.

Camera app is great!

What can I say about how fast you can open the camera app? The phone comes with the default setting of hitting the home button twice. The camera app launches fairly quickly, not at formula 1 speeds, but fast enough for you to take a quick photo or video. Good job Samsung

The camera launches in under a second: I tried to shoot a stopwatch launched simultaneously with first tap on Home button, and there was 0.96 on the quickest shot I made.

No lag in launch and shutter at all.
takes 1 second from lock screen to camera then to take a picture. Its fast
It's pretty bad according to my experience. A lot of digital noise that I don't take photos as often anymore. and what's sad is it's all on the software end

I think you mixed up camera quality and camera speed topics there...

For me it's really bad... Sometimes takes 2 seconds to open camera and then the camera viewfinder needs 2 more seconds to load.
It's pretty darn fast, whether to load or to shoot, click and done.
For me is pretty fast, test:
1. Reboot phone and wait for auto screen off
2. Double press Power button
3. Capture photo using VolUp key
Time needed between 2 and 3 is only 1sec
not so fast for me after the latest V2.2 update

I'm using these steps too and it takes hardly 2 seconds. I stopped at 1.91 seconds.

Cannot double tap the power button to open camera.
The only option is to double tap the volume off button ONLY WHEN THE PHONE'S SCREEN IS OFF.
This is actually horrible.
Yeah I don't like this either. Double tap the power button under any scenario should bring up the cam. Maybe my 6P conditioned me that way, but it worked very well.
You guys know that you can double tap de volume down button twice to open te camera?

In menu "Advanced features" you can set "Quick launch camera" by quickly pressing the Power key twice.
It works really well for instant shots but depending of the conditions sometimes the autofocus just wonders.
Today I found working version of gcam for our phone and boy, does it focus instantly even in dark places. Why the hel this app is not in place of the current default camera app.
There is also the function "Magnifier" which uses the rear camera and zooms really descend with stable focus. The app have few and clear buttons. I`m not sure but I suspect it`s using not the main cam but the wide one because of the minimal focus distance. Anyway, my grandma was impressed of how practical was.
Belgarionbg, can you tell me where to download gcam for our phone?
Thank you.
We already have a thread for it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/themes/pixel-camera-port-t3863094 and you can find links in my post under #5
Currently I have tested all exynos builds but only GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__N6_1.8.apk is fully functional without crashing.
The only problem is that it shoots only in 8MP even if 24MP are selected. But it`s fast as hell.

Really fassst
Just a little over 1 second. And that 1 second is actually the camera app's opening animation, so basically you can hit that Shutter button almost instantly as it appears. Its that fast.
Haven't tried burst mode (if there's any), but for Portrait mode, there's slight delay when the phone is saving the image before you can take another shot.
And in NightScape mode, you need to hold the phone for 2-3 seconds before moving away from the subject, and another 2-4 seconds to wait the image saving process. The result really worth the wait, though.
Update: Burst Mode works by holding the Shutter button, and the app will count from 1-10 (within less than 2 seconds) when taking images. After 10 shots, the Burst will automatically stops. In Gallery app, there will be icon denoting that an image is from Burst Mode. When you tap it, you can choose 1 or some or all photos to be saved.

The ability to quick launch the camera from a double tap of the side/power button means you can launch the camera pretty fast and it responds snappily.
You can even use the camera while the phone is closed, using the tiny front screen as a viewfinder. That's novel and fun for selfies but it will only take square 1:1 pictures this way and the little screen is pretty useless, especially as it's a different resolution so makes framing anything other than a portrait impossible.
