The OS quite often offers to close the Camera application as it has stopped responding. The application consumes massive amounts of CPU and the low frame rate (~5fps, sometimes less than 1fps) makes framing a shot next to impossible. Definately needs more work as it's not currently usable - but even if it were, the camera image quality when indoors is frankly awful (this applies to internet web video too).
