Here's the deal, the lighting makes all the difference with this camera, even with flash because of the lack of intensity of lighting in a dim area the camera attempts to recreate objects which takes the autofocus longer to put every thing together. If you are outside during the day or in a well lit area it should be instantaneous. I have noticed this to be the same deal on my droid, you have to wait and it will take pictures in the dark but they are heavily pixelated and look grainy and colors are messed up. The only device I have not seen have problems with low lighting is the casio exilim, but the phone sucks. For low lighting you need a camera not a phone, maybe different later, and no the leo is not any better camera wise.
