The problem might be more complicated. This is what experienced with HTC Sence camera. Whatever destination you suggest with intent, an image is stored twice: one in media folder where all the photos are stored, and second in suggested destination, i.e. where you want to store it. I'm not sure whether other non-Sense phones have the same behavior or not. So, if one whats really avoid photos being written twice, the only way I found is to use Camera class directly.
