    I hope this means that we will one day see CyanogenMod on this camera.

      As much as I love CM I am not sure I see the point. The stock AOSP camera is very limited even for a smartphone, using it on an actual point and shoot would be really underwhelming. I do hope either Google adds more features to the stock camera or the CM team does, but as of now I don't think CM is ready for a dedicated camera.

        I think it's safe to say with Android 4.2 that Google cares a lot about the camera on Android. Though the features in this camera's app are extremely diverse.

        Still hope for CM though and if Android keeps going in the direction 4.2 does, it seems more feasible! :-)
