This should not be a problem. My androangelo (it's in the market) app get's up to 30 frames per second (at least I implemented a rate-brake to slow it down).

Please check carefully, whether Your log is filled with garbage-collector statements. This is the case if too few buffers are added. This had be the trick for me. At least I came up to add 20! buffers to the camera.

Then the processing of each frame should take place in a separate thread. While an image is in the thread for processing, the callback should skip the current frame.
