I guess the topic has changed to the camera because of me but I felt it appropriate to change the title.
RATE THE CAMERA!!
I like the camera the most. High quality pictures and awesome sunsets too. But I don't like the fact of the glass case.

This camera might as well be a 1.3mp camera. My 5mp HTC Hero with no flash took better pictures.

EDIT!
I rate it 8.5/10 the only real con is the camera is not on par with other phones. Everything else is great.

Well thank you for commenting and talking about something you like...........
Mega pixels don't equal camera quality.
They only have to do with scaling.

I still enjoy the camera quality better than any other camera I've ever had.
The camera is pretty good. I think where you will find some issues with it will be in low light or very bright situations. The thing is that the camera does not compensate very well for low light, and bright light washes out the pictures some. I like the camera, and it has taken a lot of really good pictures for me, problem is that it has also taken a lot of really crappy pictures for me. The inconsistency is frustrating, but that said, it's better than either my Motorola Cliq (oh yeah!) or my Samsung Epic.
I have learned how to take pics with the camera. I am still not 100% happy with it in the fact that I cannot pull it out and snap a pic. I have to clean the lens, open the camera app then touch to focus and then snap the pic. If I skip the touch to focus then 80% of my pics are blurry. Really sucks but since I have been doing the touch focus step I have been getting way better pics.
The camera is great for a phone. Anybody who says otherwise uses superior equipment or simply doesn't know how to take a good picture. Now the front facing camera, there's no helping that. Makes things look melted/blurred.
Thank you guys for following the topic.

With _Epic's camera mod, the camera is great.
Stock ZVB camera sucks.
With AOSP, it's even worse.
Has anyone found a way to prevent the flash from massively blowing out the resulting photos? It seems way too bright and the software does a terrible job compensating for it. My Evo LTE did an awesome job with flash photos. I'm on stock rooted ZVB with Epic's mod.

same for me. the flash just whites everything out and is complete garbage.
Good question. The flash worked great before the jelly bean update, but now, I'm not so sure what they were thinking.

I have found that the setting on the camera really changes things. Out in Yosemite I was taking pictures and some were really ****ty and others great. The biggest things that made a difference were touch to focus and then changing the mode. For instance last night none of my pics were turning out so I set night mode on, wala, great photos. Then we were taking landscape pics and they were alright, changed it to landscape and it was much better. But changing the white mode or scene or whatever to sun really helped too. Its just amazing how bad the auto settings are cause once you play with it, its a great camera to me.

set iso to 100 and you'll see perfect pictures
samsung purposely sets high iso under automatic settings to keep a fast shutter time, this sacrifices picture quality

I took my GS2 to a punk rock show in a very low lit club and took some pictures and video of the band. My buddy took his iPhone 4 (not 4s) and took some pics and video as well. All of his pics and most of his video made mine look total ****! In bright light our cameras are very good, but in low light I am sickened with this phone!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
tbh I've been wondering the same thing as the OP.
I had high expectations for our phone's camera with reviews and sample pics that I saw beforehand, but have not been able to achieve half decent pics... especially in low-light conditions! If anyone has managed to find some settings that work best, please share!
A phone, no matter how much you pay, should not be a substitute for an actual camera. This holds true especially for planned events. This camera is perfect for high quality pictures and videos during unexpected moments.
You know, I feel quite the fool in that my wife has generally taken most of the pics with my phone so far, and I've only been repeating her concerns and haven't really experimented with the can much myself.
What I have found is, like it was mentioned before, setting the ISO to 100 is important. Next is finding a scene that works well with what you're taking a pic of (I have found that party mode really makes colours pop). Also metering can be adjusted to change the center of focus. But so far I've been happy with these settings...
Anyone else have any tips or favourite settings they use?

I only use the phone camera for spur of the moment shots and for the most part they are pretty clean.
I'm getting horrible macros on this camera, it might be just that I'm used to the htc amaze's camera. Any tips to get overall better pics I'm on aokp

I don't think it is the software as much as it is the camera that is the main complaint. My wife has the HTC Sensation and the camera is loads better than the GS II. We both upgraded same time, that first night we were out and took pics with our phones and her shots are by far better than anything I took on my phone and this was out of the box without changing any settings. Her phone excels in night shots where mine looks super pixelated.
Htc cameras are the best around. I find using procapture to be best at macro shots. I think there was a discussion on this awhile ago in the themes and apps section. There was another camera.... But i forgot which.. Oh Wells I stuck to procapture, but night shots still suck.

Gotta say after playing with one first hand...im SUPER dissapointed with the camera. Im an android faithful through and through, but I compared the pictures side by side with an iphone 4s and wow what a difference. you can zoom in so much farther and the pictures are so much clearer on the 4s. I was freaked out by this because they touted the 13MP camera, and it just doesnt deliver. It honestly looks more akin to my galaxy nexus camera quality wise. Just thought I would weigh in on my experience.
this along with the locked bootloader unfortunately might push me away from this phone.

I decided to take the camera on the phone out for test drive. The reviews are accurate. The camera is adequate. That's about the best i can say for it. Pictures look washed out. I took this one a little while ago at the Barataria Preserve near New Orleans. If you're curious the damn thing scared the hell out of me. Its huge.

Horrible is kind of strong especially given the pictures taken from my last phone, the EVO 3D, certainly not it's strong point either. The Optimus' pictures really are washed out from what I can see, from the pictures I've taken so far. I'm going to play around with the settings a bit and see if I can improve on what I'm seeing so far.
I've downloaded an app that looks promising, and I'll give it a try and see if that improves anything. It's got an ISO 50 setting that has me curious.

Before the jelly bean update the gs3 camera was so-so. After the update it was a different beast.
I have hope for the optimus g camera.
Here's a pic I took the other day at the track. Like others have said, it's adequate. It's not a bad camera and by far much better than my Evo 3D.

I bet the major flaw of this camera is the software if lg actually took the time to really work with the auto setting I bet it would be great
Had a chance to play with the camera using both the stock app and zoom fx. As washed out as the pictures were yesterday with the stock app this was even worse. The camera is not good in low light. There is really no other way to say it. The low light wasn't even all that low in both cases. Flash was used in all four pictures.
In both cases the better pictures come from zoomfx. In a way that's heartening because it indicates a lot of tweaking potential for the stock app.

A pity, really.
If they could just double the pixel size (thereby reducing the resolution by 4), they'd have a sensor with great light collection and improved dynamic range that doesn't produce 3 blurry 5MB JPGs every time I want to snap an indoor picture.
I mean, the camera on the LGOG is unparalleled when it comes to its macro focus abilities, I've toyed with an S4 and HTC One and they can't seem to focus very close at all, but there's only so many closeups of flowers during the summer before one reaches a macro saturation point.
How about this?
