I had this exact same issue. It would force close on me all the time as well. Then a week or so later, it just stopped doing it. That said, I rarely use the camera because the pictures are such poor quality. I'm still reading this thread and considering the 5x program.

Ok after reading thru this thread, I still cant quite determine which seems to be better for the droid, the pro zoom or the vignette.. anyone use both and have any optinios? I just want the dam graniness to go away.. pics to be super clear and to have them featured on the cover of Time... 
No, but the clear part would be nice ..
Also, forgot to ask, why am I getting network error when I try to purchase from the market?
Thanks

Mine produces a 14mb file.
There are settings for the camera that, MUST BE set correctly to get a half way decent picture.
Settings for picture quality like, normal, fine, etc...
When I really want GREAT pictures - I whip out my Nikon Digitals.
Good luck with the camera settings. It also helps to know just a few basics concepts of basic photography. (not being sarcastic) :icon_eek:
Sorry but I had too.

I read that review a while back, it really made me laugh. I'm not sure how they are placing the droid photos above the others in some of these shots. I would rather see a smooth image any day than one littered with rainbow grain.

I just tried Snap Photo Pro and couldn't get it to work. I was really excited about a lot of it's features, but when I try taking pictures it just freezes on a black screen. Hitting the menu key brings up settings, presumably to edit the picture, but nothing else works. Not even pressing the home key.
I've been using Pro Zoom Camera 5x and it's okay.. Doesn't seem to be that much better than the stock Camera app, plus it's ugly, so I rarely use it.
Interested in trying Vignette. I really like those pictures posted above that somebody took using Vignette. It has other features besides just Vignette, I'm assuming? I'll have to search for it in the market.
Here is a picture I took using the stock camera app, one of my favorites. When blown up big it was a little grainy. I downsized it and now it looks pretty good:

Oh, haha. Didn't see that. I just got the apk from a friend to try it out and uninstalled. My bad!!
I was playing with the Vignette demo last night. From what I could tell I liked it. The images on the demo are tiny, so a bit hard for me to compare to my stock camera taking the same photo. I really did like the different effects. There are way more than just the vignette style. I am still debating on spending the $4.50 to buy the actual app.
Well I jut bought it, and if I can find out where the hell it saved the pics Ill let you know.. as I dont see a "Share" option anywhere on it..
Update: Ok well you have to check under settings to get it to save with other pics..sdcard.
Says saved to SDCard, altho its not their, and is a Vingnette folder but only 1 of the maybe 12 I took and saved is in there..

Yeah I was just messing around with the Vignette demo, spent about 15 minutes trying to find where the pictures are stored. No luck yet. Wish it had a share button! It's gotta be here somewhere, right? I checked "store in default camera location" - nope, not in there. Unchecked it, searched all my folders, didn't find anything. I was thinking that might be a restriction on the demo, but if you bought it and can't find it, then who knows?
