Install a 3rd party camera. No really.

Google will probably fix the native app eventually. Who knows when that will happen though.

(remember also...you can snap pictures while taking video as well by tapping the screen, and it is VERY quick)

My ginger cat. This thing is a very capable shooter with the right light, looking forward to getting some outdoor shots when the skies clear.

N5, closeup, not the best lighting. Stock camera app, no HDR or filters. No post-production

Nice. Thought I recognized it. I'm aircraft mechanic that works on that plane type lol. Not for JetBlue though.

Just a comparison of two similar shots with different points of focus:

The focus on the camera is starting to annoy me.

I have no problem with most scenery shots where the items are 20+ feet away.

But when taking photos of things 5 or so feet away I'll snap some shots (both regular and hdr+) and find out the focus is a bit off. Yes, the focus looks fine when looking at the images on the little N5 screen. But if you zoom if or view on a larger screen, the fuzziness becomes apparent. Then I have to re-take the shot and be a little more careful.

I haven't taken any pictures of fast moving things yet, but so far I'm very impressed with the camera. I'm defaulting to HDR+ mode and pictures are beautiful. The camera can focus to much closer levels than my Lumia 920 camera did. Here's a picture of a bee in a bottle brush plant in our back yard:

And that's resized from its original 3200 x 2368 to the forum's max of 1730 x 1280.

well my first experience with the N5 camera is sort of lack luster. was on my way out and decided to try the camera for the 1st time. this is the result. I dont want to compare it to my 1020 WindowsPhone camera because that phone is made for taking pictures. I just got the N5 a couple of days ago so I'll have to read ppl's thoughts on how to get the most out of this camera.

Did you use HDR on that? Looks like an over attempt by the software to brighten up the image...

Edit: Also, a cool thing that G+ did was stitch a few of my pics together to form a panorama. You can see pretty clearly where they were stitched together, but it's cool because I didn't expect it, wasn't going for a panorama shot, and aside from the shadow, they're stitched together perfectly. I think what was most amazing to me was that the shots I took didn't really **** up against each other - I didn't take the shots in sequence, but it filled in the gaps nicely.

This one I touched up a bit, trying to reduce the shadow:
