First is first, I love the phone, I am not a big camera guy, I take maybe 5-10 pics a week. My wife and daughter and HUGE camera people, they take hundreds of pics a month.
My issue with this camera is that I can not get a clear pic. The lack of focus by tapping the screen, like on the GS3, is bad. The phone decides what to focus on. I have been trying to get a pic of my Dog. She is always blurry. On my galaxy, I tapped the screen, the green box appeared, and the software focused on just what I needed, I got a decent pic.
With this phone, I can't get a shot. She is blurry every time. EVERY time.
My wife and Daughter both are tired of Touchwiz like me. I almost went with an iPhone. My daughter went with an iPhone because of the small form factor. My wife is going with the LG G2 or the new Xperia iZ, or the iZ mini.
They both wanted the Moto X, loved the speed, loved the form factor, loved the weight, but could not get passed the pitiful camera on this phone.
This camera sucks. If it had the ability to focus, it could be saved. It takes good enough pics of still objects. I have taken off my fanboi glasses, I can not give this camera more than a 5/10. Add it to the disappointing battery life (sorry guys, 3 days now, 14 hours, 3 hours of screen time is not any better than my GS3), and this phone has an issue.
Googlerola needs to do something with this camera, and fast.
EDIT: My Wife and daughter do not use just a phone for pics. They have very expensive camera (my wallet aches when they go to the camera store) equipment. The phones are just for pure spontaneous stuff, as those big cameras they use can't even be put in a pocket. I have no idea what kind of camera they are. They are big, the lenses come off, the lenses are huge tubular things.
