Yes, and it seems to vary depending on device. I am sure we are doing much the same thing in our extensions, not figured out yet what is doing it in mine.
Have added the BitmapFactory options, this may help:
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inScaled = false;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(etarget,options);
hmmm, did not appear to help a great deal...
