Well, that's nifty. I see no reason to complain about getting free video quality improvements with the camera.

The camera is really, really crappy, though. Even still images look pretty bad.

Taken with Nexus 7 front camera under very good ambient lighting conditions.

The tweak is nice, but I really wish there would eventually be a software method to correct this more pressing issue of poor camera quality (as unlikely as it might be).

While software usually can benefit from improvements, it'll always be limited by hardware. If your camera is crappy you should probably get a better one

I'm pretty sure that there isn't much that you can do (within reason) about the camera of a tablet except for buying a tablet that has a better camera.

The thing costs what...$250? You get what you pay for. That it has a camera at all is a gift.

Keep in mind that physics and the law of optics are not the best friends of small phones and thin tablets.

You need big sensor chips and lots of glass for good quality video.
There is a reason that pros run around with big cameras and even bigger lenses.
Ah yes, and don't forget big power hungry flash lights either!!

I think the main purpose of the camera is for video chat, anyone using it for something which requires half decent video quality may as well use your Iphone or Android phone, its probably better.

I am more excited about the tablet having things like GPS and Bluetooth for a mere $200, the camera will probably never get used.

720 means shyt. I can buy a 1080 camcorder for 35 bucks and its still gonna be awful.
