Does FxCamera dramatically improve the quality of the photos taken by the HTC Hero? I did a comparison of some photos and I noticed that the Android 2.1 update did seem to offer up a bit of improvement in photos I haven taken versus Android 1.5.

Of course, my major gripe with the Android 2.1 stock camera app is that it EATS the battery like crazy. I am talking 10% battery used up in a matter of minutes using the camera app. I do not remember it being that thirsty for battery juice in Android 1.5. Thankfully, the drain does stop when I quit the camera app.

I experience no such drain when using the camera. Maybe I don't use it enough to notice. Seems like that 2.1 update shoulda never came.. lol
