There's a shortcut for the camera from the lock screen
2
I'm not sure which version of Android my phone is running now, but when I go to unlock it, the phone icon is in the lower right hand corner of the lock screen. I don't even need to unlock the phone to use the camera/video camera. (though you WILL need to unlock it to view the results)
Remove all other apps to make it load as quickly as possible and to minimize lag that phones get when they're old.
I'm moving the thread to the Android Talk subforum, for possibly more specific advise by the resident Android fans.
