Shot to shot speed

I've been wondering if anyone has some tips on how to improve shot to shot speed on an HTC Evo V. My wife's got an HTC One V which appears to be strictly less powerful but snaps and records photos ridiculously fast. The camera on the Evo V is not particularly sluggish, but the whole "hold the button forever, take a crap photo and wait 5 secs to try again" rigamaroll gets tiresome on any digital camera.

I was thinking maybe a faster SD card would help - not sure what type comes standard in HTC phones.

Or maybe a camera app could speed it up.

Thanks!
 
If you camera application is sluggish then replacing the SD card would do nothing as the camera application is no even located on the SD card.

If anything maybe get a different camera application or perhaps root your device so that you can potentially overclock your processor to achieve some better performance.

OR

With a different ROM is a different camera application so that might improve things. :)
 
The reason I thought a better sd card would held is because a faster card (stage 10) could mean faster photo saving.
 
It could also be that the One V is on a more updated version of Android. If I remember correctly, the OneV came out with ICS while the Evo came with GB. Have you updated to ICS?
 
Actually, the SD card could be an issue. At least, it used to be the main thing that slowed down the camera in my old Nokias :)

If your phone is set up to save photos to the SD card, that will be a lot slower than if it is saving to phone storage.

What I used to do was set the phone up to store pictures to phone storage then move them to the SD card manually when I needed to free up space. You could download File Manager (free app) to do this.
