Battery drain definitely seems to be to do with using the camera. It must be the module not shutting down properly.
I use the camera quite a few times yesterday and my battery only lasted 1 day. Previously I'd be getting 3 - 4 days out of the phone without touching the camera.
I suppose the only workaround is to reboot the phone or grin and bear the battery drain if you need to use the camera. Fingers crossed for a quick update from SE to fix this.
Ahh, so it is the camera... Hopefully SE will fix this with an update, but its good to know that there is an issue with a program rather than just poor battery life in general... With Android it does tend to be a rouge program that drains battery... Thankfully I'm used to having no camera from when I had the Desire and was rocking custom Froyo ROMS that didnt have the correct drivers or whatever... and now using a BB Curve, its like having no camera anyway!
I assume that using a task manager to kill the camera process doesnt actually help?

^ No. Tried task killing it and didn't make any difference. Only a reboot will sort out at the moment.

Maybe, that is the reason the camera is very fast....

The only concern I have about the battery is sometimes it eats so much energy in the night
on flight mode and sometimes NOT.
It's not consistent behaviour.
However in general bettery life here is the same as on every other big screen smartphone.
I don't freak out about it.
In reverse we have very well working smartphone here.

I don't know really what they talk about, my Camera is never listed in open apps.

But it's a service. I don't see it in running services but sometimes in background processes.
