Needs yo improve

The quality of the pictures and videos is amazing. But there are a lot of old features missing: Smart sequence, panoramas and QR Reader! We want them back. I think it's better to do everything in one app than downloading several different apps to do what I need.

Not so good as Lumia camera

I still don't understand why Lumia camera is removed from store. This app is not finished yet missing many features, photos are not saved in original resolution, choosing best light does not work etc.

Ứng dụng tồi tệ

Chụp ảnh động thì rất tệ, thà ko có còn hơn, ảnh chụp đêm không chi tiết bằng lumia camera, không chụp được chuỗi ảnh thông minh. Ứng dụng chả ra gì mà bảo tốt xong không cho người dùng sử dụng Lumia camera. Ngày càng ghét microsoft.

Missing Features

I like that it opens and shoots quick on the 950 After using Lumia Camera on a 920/1020 for 3 years, I sorely miss (tap to capture, and Night mode) If I want to take pictures at night, I will definitely have to use my 1020....😢

Good but needs some small post-processing refinements

Living images takes a long time even on a octacore phone with 3gb ram, and I feel like the sensor could use some updated APIs for greater refinement. A small text editor for placing text on photos would be nice too, so I can put a small text like watermark at the bottom if images are put on online image boards and the like. (and text with more than just white and black.)

Hang just saying "saving..." and I lose photos.

When it hangs, the last few photos I took only have thumbnails and the normal hi-res versions are lost. After waiting ten minutes each time this happens, I power off the phone to get back to being able to take pictures. The camera app can't even be killed because it's stuck running in the background. Restarting it just gets back to the "saving..." message.
