Can anyone tell me about the camera? We need a new camera (we have an ok one but its from 2006ish - time to upgrade) and we need a 2nd cell phone (our first cell phone is an old school flip phone ha). But budget is also an issue for us...so in looking at everything, I am thinking about buying a Nexus 5 outright from google, and then taking it to Wind and going on either their $40/month or $50/month plan.

The only hesitation I have in doing this is the camera: in general, the reviews of it are, well meh. For e.g. http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/go...-tag-1.2426454 and http://reviews.cnet.com/google-nexus-5/ and http://www.techspot.com/review/744-g...s-5/page4.html and http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/4/50...nexus-5-review

Soooo....is the camera that bad? I have 2 little kids so we need pictures and video. I've looked at stuff like an iphone 4 or whatever that you can get for $0 on a contract, but I would be stuck on a 2/year contract and its too expensive over the length.

Given the above, is the nexus 5 good to buy, or is tehre another smartphone for a reasonabl-ish price that would work better? Thanks.
