I know this is probably against the rules to repost what I said in another thread, but I'M DESPERATE! I beg forgiveness and leniency. I need to get the word out! I feel so small. I even tried emailing sjobs. help help help!

I seriously, 100% and completely agree with you. I really believe in the touch screen. I love it for everything I do on there. I don't think physical keyboards are easier like some people keep crowing, but GOD, the on-screen camera button is SO EFFING TERRIBLE I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! It makes it so awkward to hold the phone and push the button. There is a level of deep-rooted frustration that pops up when using any piece of technology other than my iphone. The only time that frustrated feeling takes over with the iphone is when I have to use that on-screen button to take a picture. It's a pain in the ass, taking multiple pictures sucks, taking pictures quickly sucks, being unaware of my surrounding while i'm concentrating on threading the needle that is making sure i hit the button correctly sucks. It takes the fun out of photography, it takes the spontaneity away and negates the whole advantage of having a camera with you at all times. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, somebody beg, borrow, or kidnap steve into making the PERFECTLY POSITIONED-TO-BE-A-SHUTTER-BUTTON-IN-A-COMFORTABLE-AND-FUN-WAY-THAT-'JUST WORKS' VOLUME BUTTON INTO A CAMERA SHUTTER/VIDEO STARTSTOP BUTTON WHEN THE CAMERA APP IS OPEN
or at least give me the option. I did some looking and the Camera Zoom 2 app has this as an option. Anybody know of any others? I don't like being stuck using a 3rd party camera app as I'd rather use the one that apple designed to work best with their camera. Maybe I'm just paranoid about other camera apps taking longer, and taking worse pictures, but I really want apple to make this an option.
The problem is it seems like getting the word out there on this feature request seems very difficult. Maybe a lot of people don't really care, but i bet a ton of people would love this option if they tried it. I'm really glad you posted though. It shows me there's hope. Get the word out!!!!!!!!!
