I guess that all depends on what your comparing it to. It is just a phone camera. and a $350 phone at that.I looked real close to Phills camera pics from the review and I click on them and then they still look slightly blurry to me and as well as other reviews from other sites and when it came to the video, once in a while it would become crystal clear and then become blurry.
Some of those stills from Phills review look pretty good but I clicked to zoom in and they are indeed blurry to me.
Take for example, the shot of Phills little girl in the orange pumpkin suit, looks pretty darn crystal clear....as a small picture, then I clicked and zoomed in to what the picture actually looks like and every bit of the photo is blurry.:-\

I would have to agree. Something to think about those particular videos seem to be shot in not optimal light. That could effect the quality a bit couldn't it?Very true, I have only seen a few phone pics before that were spectacular in the past and was hoping this would be one of those, it does have a washed out vibe about the pictures and when comparing to other videos now of other phones, this doesn't suffer not more than they do:
Video Comparison LG Nexus 4 vs Nokia Lumia 920 vs Sony Xperia T - YouTube!
I have just watched Phills review videos again and the front facing camera makes such a better video than the 8 megapixel camera on the back and that probably is true with pictures too, and that is a shame on LG's part, I am just hoping it is a software issue.
Not really trying to compare it to anything more than a sharp clarity picture, LG put a lot of R&D behind this phone and camera too for it to come out all blurry and the front facing camera to be much better.
No, I am not really complaining at all, this is by far the best phone out there with specs like this at this price, and I really don't plan on using this phone as a primary camera either, nothing really compares to a camera....except maybe a Nokia Pureview with 44 megapixel, but for an occasional snapshot it works great, but it seems a little on the blurry side on most of the snapshots, yes they look good at a quick glance no doubt but with further inspection of the pics it takes they do indeed look blurry with no sharpness in details, maybe it is the washed out effect I am seeing that I hear people have commented on, I would ask anybody to judge on picture quality, I don't care much about the vibrance of the colors, it is expected but I am talking about the quality of the pictures, take a look at all of the picture snapshots on Phills review and ask yourself the honest question on quality of the pictures, to me, maybe not anybody else, but they all seem a little bit blurry when looking at them zoomed to the actual size.

It a camera on a cell phone, you point it at things and push a button.You really can't judge photo quality unless the thing is on a tripod so that you take motion blur out of the equation, especially in indoor light when shutter speeds are longer.
Plus, it is usually the case that most technology reviewers have no clue how to use a camera, and think a good one will make up for poor technique.
Is it an iPhone 4s or 5 competitor, probably not as little is, but the best shots I have seen lead me to believe it is decent (which has not been the case with previous Nexus devices).
Yes these reviews for now anyway are not based on a finished product yet, phone camera really not that important to me anyway, I wanted to comment on it anyway, the reviewers are a mixed bunch of people and assuredly some of them could use a camera on the phone, I am biased to think that it is the camera hardware, hoping that it isn't faulty in the final release but I am pretty sure it is the final hardware that the reviewers have and maybe Google will compensate with good software for it.
I did read that the GS3 had better pics as well as the HTC OneX. And bare in mind, this is a premium phone, since we are getting at a good price doesn't mean they skimp out on quality hardware, some people are going to end up paying over $600 for this phone in some parts of the World.......and Yes I am comparing it to GS3, HTC OneX+ and Iphone 5.
