Camera intent returns small picture

I'm using the camera intent to capture a picture. This is my code and it works great:

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE); 
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);

my onActivityResult looks like this:

if (requestCode == CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) {
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
        Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
    }
}

The problem is, that while the picture taken by the camera is 480*800 (I'm using HTC Desire), the bitmap returned is only 194*324!

Any idea why that happens and how to resolve it?

Thanks!
