Windows phone 7 - Is it possible to use its camera in Silverlight?

Question

Is it possible to use Windows phone 7's camera in Silverlight in ANY way?

Answer 2

According to this post at the MSDN community forum you cannot access the camera either in Silverlight or XNA. You can ask the user to take a picture and then access that, but you cannot access the camera directly.

Answer 3

The only way to access the camera is CameraCaptureTask. (Note: Unfortunately I don't believe it works in the current Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP.)
