no camera access from lock screen

Just updated my Verizon iPhone to iOS5 and there is not quick camera access button on the lock screen. It looks the same as before. Was it taken out?

OK just found solution. Have to double click home button. Seems redundant and adding an extra step to something that is suppose to be fast.

Wow!

That is ridiculous. It should just be there on lock screen. The simplest things!!!!

Well it takes less than a second to double-click the home button and hit the logo. If it was just sitting there on the lock screen permanently people would probably open it accidentally all the time.

I've almost gotten to where I normally wake up my iPhone with a double click rather than a single click. That way I can also get quick access to the iPod-control buttons too.
