are you saying that there is no zoom on the camera?
It isnt a big deal it is just digital zoom and not optical

You sure there s no zoom? You try pinch to zoom on screen?

No zoom.
CONFIRMED that trying to pinch-to-zoom has no affect.

Leave it to samsung. Go get a nexus 1

it has nothing to do with Sammy, its a google thing, The zoom in the N1 was just Digital zoom, meaning that it just zoomed in on the image

But really, who wants ****ty digital zoom anyway. If you wanted a nice camera on your phone, you should have bought a Nokia NSeries or something man. TO OP: Don't let that be a deal-breaker for you... I'm sure there will be custom ROMs around in given time that supports zoom and 720p video recording. Hope this helps.

Digital zoom on a fixed lens = crappy pixelated pics

I know the gingerbread roms for evo have zoom. But theyre custom. Thought it was in gingerbread though

There's an old Chinese proverb:
Man who requires digital zoom,
is an ignoramus.

Zoom with your feet.

I have the Galaxy S and just upgraded to CM7 nightly's which gives me a similar cam to the Nexus S. I've confirmed with a friend, and there's no zoom on his Nexus S.
I was surprised to find out, that there is no Zoom on the camera any more, as the Galaxy S (stock samsung) camera application supported zoom via the Volume Buttons.
For those saying "oh it's just digital and not optical zoom" is irrelevant. It allows me to take my crappy pixelated photo with out having to crop later before sending. The quality on the camera is sh!t anyways.
I'd personally like optical zoom and it seems like a standard reasonable feature these days.

You have to understand that the Nexus S is meant to be a developer phone so it lacks certain features that can be later added by the developers in the XDA forums.

Developer phone or not it still cost the same as the galaxy s yet they didn't add alot of stuff shouldn't the phone be cheaper guess not more I think about this its just dumb Google is really droppin the ball. No tv-out no 720p recording no sdcard no zoom no codecs only thing that's better is the form factor and updates from Google I guess but that's the price I pay for lord Google to give updates rant off I guess

I used it and absolutely loved the design. But, being a lazy teenager, i would have continued using it if it had got physical buttons mapping. Have changed to stock cm camera and picsart/pixlomatic since.

Am I Crazy ?

When i first got my Nexus 7 it had an icon for the Camera and when it updated to 4.2.1 it disappeared .......so this is a dumb question
where is it and how do i use my camera ? or i can only use it on apps that need the camera?

download nexus 7 camera launcher from market. works perfect.
i don't know why they removed it in the update.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

First question, are you crazy? Probably, yes...
As for the camera issue, they probably removed it because you don't use it to take pictures and it would likely only be used with apps like Skype or whatever. However, as the other guy said, the Nexus 7 camera app from the play store works perfectly. I think there is also a 4.2 camera app APK floating around these forums somewhere too.

*puts down random dismembered limb*
Nope you are just as sane as the rest of us.

So wait, people really take pictures with this thing? Isn't that like, very awkward? Pressing a button on a screen that isn't even facing you and all..

Thanks found it works great ! you guys rock

You can also get the feature by searching for Android 4.2 camera apk on Google.
http://www.chip.de/downloads/Jelly-Bean-4.2-Kamera-Android-App-APK_59836907.html
By this variant there are no extras like HDR, it is the pure Google Android Camera.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33499248 --> here you have a flashable zip. But I dont know what functions it includes.

Camera working nice on cm11

As u guys are concernd abt d camera quality on cm11 .. I have found a solution .... Just download the app named focal(beta) from play store ... It works very good and fine than the default camera ...
Sent from my GT-I9082 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Its worlds most buggy camera as far as i have downloaded it 5times for me
developers are like gods

For Me, Stock Camera is better. Focal is still in beta and buggy. Hope the dev team will fix that soon.

Focal used to be included on JellyBean CMs. It's buggy as hell.
Besides default CM11 camera is good enough, with quality almost matching Samsung's camera... the only downside is the slow camera preview.

This is that cool app...
Btw... It is possible that it is set just on 3mps or 5MP...so just check every single setting and understand app completely before using for clicking....
Hope i helped
