The front-facing camera, NFC, a compass and a camera flash are all things that many people simply won’t miss much – especially when the rear camera isn’t too bad to use in daylight

The camera is not the best

want.its touch screen for the most part is very responsive and can sense you even with cloth between you( sometimes it can get buggy but nothing to bad)it has some features for camera lovers like the nokia creative studio and the panarama( also nokia cinemagraph if interested)it is quite small and id like to say thin but not thin like the iphone 6so, for such a cheap phone its got alot of bite

I am amazed and how good the camera is on this phone

Camera stunk really bad and even for a no contract phone functioned and was built flimsy.

The camera is very good in bright light, if it is a lamp lit room, I usually don't even try because the images are grainy.

The camera is fantastic for being a camera phone and there are many very cool photo editing tools that come with the phone, as well as free downloads for other tools

I find at times the camera is very sensitive to camera shake.

The camera takes decent quality pictures - good enough for work documentation, but I wouldn't want to use it for vacation photos.

Still miss an actual flash and good camera though.

Not to big a fan of the "gophone" pay plan but it is a great phone i love the camera all it

My 6 year old has used the camera and video camera for fun and loves it

Gets dirty super quickly, bad camera

I use it as an mp3 player, I download podcasts to listen on the commute to work, it's a quick point and shoot camera (the camera is actually pretty nice for a 5mp camera, though it doesn't have a front facing camera), and it's a fantastic gps device.

Camera is not that great though and if you have teenagers that is a real

it's a great camera great price

worst mobile. become slow in processing after just few days of working touch is also not good only camera is quite good at this this price.

The camera is great as well

It also has a good camera

The camera was awful, so I didn't use it either

The camera is as good as any regular digital camera and having it set on automatic uploads to my computer means no worries about accidentally deleting any.

The camera is great, takes beautiful pictures, and uses ambient light well, but I still think a flash would be helpful

The camera is worse than anything you'll find on any flagship phone released since the first iPhone

The no cost GPS and WIFI, Cortana virtual assistant, great reception, decent camera and smooth operation are just a few of the features that make this a solid purchase

Surprisingly, cachet aside, my older son prefers the 520 over his Apple 4.The camera is weak without strong light as it has no flash, but if one is in the light of day the camera functions adequately

I believe that it is time to start looking for another phone since I can probably find another one that is just as easy to use with a little better camera

Need to get your kids a fun Camera

The camera on the 520 is very poor and it does not have front facing camera.

The camera is poor

On top of that it has a decent camera, great layout (if you're a fan of windows), and has room for upping the phone's storage if you find you're downloading a lot of silly apps just for the thrill

Great phone for the price, fast, easy to use, windows 8 works great with this, but it upgraded automatically to 8.1, poor internal memory, great screen, very good camera, lacks a flash.

Still miss an actual flash and good camera though.

And the multiple camera apps take pretty decent pictures (the panoramic camera was particularly surprising and effective)

The camera isn't amazing, but it gets the job done

9/10-Decent Camera 6/10-Good load time and processing speed 6.5/10-Cortana (This is as good as hardware

Price is right for a portable camera and media player.

The camera is really bad, it takes terrible pictures.

No face forward camera so useless for skype.

The navigation apps and the ability to use it as a mini-computer as well as an mp-3 player, a recorder, and a quite adequate camera (I'm not interested in selfies) make this a great purchase.

I will definitely be getting a better camera though on my

To clarify i did not buy the phone from amazon and i bought it for about 60$ awhile back, but this phone is a lot of things for such a cheap package.it has a decent back facing camera(nothing to gloat about

The Cons are the weaker app store, no camera on the front, no flash on the rear camera, but I wouldn't honestly expect all that at $50 and under.

Decent camera and runs pretty good for the price

With this phone, although the camera isn't the greatest, I love being able to take a few shots and before I get into the room with the desktop computer, the photos have already been uploaded via WiFi to OneDrive/SkyDrive to view and edit.

The camera takes decent pictures but not near as good as the more expensive

The only thing I wish is that it had a front camera for them for when they use Skype, otherwise its great!

Combined with expandable storage, wifi, and a decent camera/video, it's a great deal.

Great starter for smart phones, fantastic camera.

The only issue I had with the 520 is no front camera or flash.

Is the camera any good

It is easy to sync it to all your windows items (I had my phone, PC, and 2 laptops synced) and also has a great camera

But even if it gets replaced with a faster phone in a year or so, I'll still have a back-up phone as well as a music player, cheap camera, etc

The camera is pretty darn good too even without a flash

Also no front camera, so I'm unable to Skype

But a lightweight device with a decent screen, camera, and data capability is convenient

It's a good phone and has a good camera and is with a good network

But even if it gets replaced with a faster phone in a year or so, I'll still have a back-up phone as well as a music player, cheap camera, etc

Camera doesn't seem great but haven't played with it a lot

Camera is not the best, but good enough

Camera is not the best, but good enough

Camera was blurry

GPS, music player, phone, sms, decent camera, games

The phone had a nice camera that even let me get non-blurry action shots of swimming dolphins.

A great camera and video with super sound

One problem is that the camera is funky--sometimes it works and then it

Camera is much better than expected

I want to give this more stars because I liked the phone a

The recent update around January 2015 killed the maps, it now makes you sign up for something and go through 15 pages to get some version of maps working, which isn't nearly as fast or user friendly as before

This is a great phone for a new user for Windows OS platform as well as for the experiencedelay user as well.

Call quality is still just as crisp as it was on day one and speaker output is still excellent

very slow phone using it only as a
