The followign code does not successfully take igh resolution (1280x1024) photos on an HW6965 (HW69xx) device. The code does work successfully with an iMATE JASJAR. The requirement is to take full resolution photos. The device supports resolutions of 1280x1024, 640x480 , 320x240, 160x120 in the HP Photosmart software. Any assistance or suggestions appreciated.

CameraCaptureDialog dlg = new CameraCaptureDialog();
dlg.InitialDirectory = "/Storage card";
dlg.DefaultFileName = "file" + DateTime.Now.ToString("HHmmss") + ".jpg";
dlg.Mode = CameraCaptureMode.Still;
dlg.Resolution = new Size(1280, 1024);
dlg.StillQuality = CameraCaptureStillQuality.High;
dlg.Title = "Camera Capture";
dlg.ShowDialog();
string picTaken = dlg.FileName;
if (picTaken != string.Empty)
{
int i = dlg.Resolution.Width;
pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(picTaken);
}

You might want to try a slightly different resolution than what the device advertises itself as. It seems that sometimes the camera will provide an output resolution that is different than its internal resolution. As an example, the HTC Prophet claims to have a 2MP camera with a resolution of 1600x1200. However, internally it seems to use 1600x1280, and when using the CameraCaptureDialog, you must use 1600x1280; otherwise your setting will be ignored. My guess is that the sensor works at 1600x1280, and the camera hardware or software trims off the extra pixels. In any event, for an advertised resolution of 1280x1024, you might want to experiment a bit - perhaps 1280x960 will work.
