Anyone else have the camera load to a blank black screen with no buttons in any and all apps that utilize the camera? Camera, Barcode Scanner, Sniper Shot, and all other programs that use the camera fail to load since the update. Anyone have any idea as to why?

Did you try a restart, I have heard of camera problems like this before (i think first FroYo update) and all it needed was a simple reboot.
Reboot didn't work. I reflashed the rom and BAM, it worked again. Crisis averted.
I have the same problem.
I'm running the following:
Azreal 3.0
circular battery widget update
removed HTC lock screen
superior battery charging kernel
wifi hotspot patch
I'm currently trying things to figure out what will fix it.
Here are the current things I have tried that did NOT fix the problem:
Reboot
Wipe cache/davlik cache
fix UID mismatches
I then reflashed azreal 3.0
At this point the camera worked again but everything was wiped. I then reapplied the following patches:
Circular battery
remove HTC lock screen
wifi/hotspot patch
after this everything continued to work
I then applied:
superior battery charging kernel and it broke again
I think the problem is the superior battery charging kernel
i am having the same problem and have not been successful yet fixing it. switched from cm7 back to stock to update my prl and tryed to use the camera while stock when the black blank screen happened. flashed to evdo(sense) and same result. flashed back to cm7 and the 1st time i opened camera it opened the ffc. when i tried to switch and everytime i have tried to open it since i get "camera error cannot connect to camera" help plz!
If you have HW 0004 phone or HW003 with the new camera, you have to make sure your rom has a kernel with the NEW drivers. The kernel in my signature has the new drivers for ASOP roms (like cm 7).
just flashed Savaged-Zen-V002-CFS-HAVS-SBC-WiMAX - GB.zip
with the same result running cm7. seems like ive tried 20 different things with no success. everything i have flashed has been off my sd meaning i have had all of it running before at one time or another with no problem. i really cant think of what ive done new to have caused this
Same here
Happened to me right after I flashed calkulins_format_all.zip and then the MikFroyo4.4.zip yesterday. I thought it was a problem with mikfroyo so I flashed Azraelz 3.1 and still the same issue (i was using azrael 3.0 with no prob prior to mikfroyo).
I'll post if I find anything that works, please also give any suggestions i'm willing to try anything b4 i take her to sprint.
I also flashed calkulins evio rom. When I flash back to stock it will start running again sometimes. Not even right away though. It will be black for a while then if I just let the phone sleep for a bit and come back to it bam. Camera again. For a little while. Then back to the same thing an hour later without doing anything! This is very frustrating! Someone plz help!

UPDATE
I turned my phone off and switched SD cards to one that has an old backup (3.29, kernel#11), when I booted into recovery, I could hear clicking noices coming from the lens, at a super fast rate (say 2-3 clicks a second).
Not wanting to do any more damage I turned off the phone.
I did just take my phone to sprint to fix my kick stand, maybe they did something to mess with me (thats just my paranoid side speaking)...
But what gives? What would make the camera shutter do that while im in recovery (btw using latest amon ra recovery)?
Here's a timeline of what happened:
Everything is fine running old froyo senseless ROM
flash synergy rls1+godmode
boots up fine
flash dt a2sd
boots up fine
flash freedom kernel less
boots up fine
try opening camera but am left with a black unresponsive screen
nandroid near stock rom
try opening camera but am left with a black unresponsive screen
flash old froyo senseless rom
try opening camera but am left with a black unresponsive screen
Anyone have anything they can tell me about this? I tried looking around for camera issues but couldn't find anything, and the way this happened makes no sense to me.
Also, this happens for both cameras, back and front.
it has been a few days since this problem started.
when i dont use the phone let's say for an hour, when i try to unlock it, the touchscreen is not working and i have to slightly open the gamepad in order to work.
i am afraid it might be a hardware problem because i have tried flashing the 62 firmware again, changing roms (miui, stock based GB roms), changing kernels but problem still remains
I have this problem too on my sk17i! tried changing the roms too even tried the stock
the only difference is mine doesn't work at all even if i try to open the HW keyboard
So yeah ,I previously thought that my camera led was being faulty cause of flashing nigthlies .I did a stock ICS update and it seemed to work fine went back to ICS stock rooted rom it worked fine for a couple days no its not working at all .Any one got any ideas, if i could find out if its a flashing error or if its dead for good..I don't take a lot of pictures but yeah sucks to have a faulty cellphone.
You can try an app "torch"
I have issuses with camera in every rom since i flashed cm13 about 2 weeks ago. Everything was fine with cm until that specific update that day! Camera works after removing the battery and putting it back and after 5 minutes just crashes every app that uses it! Oh that happens even on stock rom after flashing the dmz file.. Any help here guys? Sould i flash some specific version of stock or what?
I need your help because the primary reason i buy this phone is for photos..
