The rear camera is 8 megaPixels. That means that each one of those pixels has to be painted (turned on) with light coming though the lens. Their are two things that affect the rate in which the light is able to paint the pixels, aperature size and time the lens is opened. In a fixed aperature camera, the only variable is "lens speed" or the time the lens is open. The lens are rather large on the EVO but the pixel count is very high. For example, my daughter's low end Nikon SLR is the same pixel demsity but her lens are nearly 2 inch in diameter (50mm) (though her aperature is much smaller). She can bring in a lot more light in a shorter period of time so her shutter speed is much higher and she can take pictures of must faster moving objects. Available Ram may also be a factor, though it is hard to believe swapping is involved.

But, all in all, the Evo camera is SLOW!
