Newbie needs help taking a picture with the Arduino

Grumpy_Mike:
Maybe the advice to downgrade your arduino IDE was a good idea.

I would, but I'm trying to make a cell phone sort of thing with a camera, and the GSM shield I'm using has the library in Arduino IDE 1.0.4 or above, and I have to modify one of them some way or the other.

Do you know if SoftwareSerial is a class? in JPEGCamera.h it says

NewSoftSerial cameraPort(2,3);

If I change NewSoftSerial to SoftwareSerial, would that be valid?

and in 'void JPEGCamera::begin()', what does the "::" mean?
