My buddy's non-rooted Nexus will lose connection to it's camera 1-2 times a month, requiring a reboot.

I have a Droid X and the camera, so far, works every time I have tried to use it.

I havent restarted my phone for two weeks now and taking pictures yesterday at costco wasnt an issue and taking a picture of this post wasnt either. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/693878/hi_hacker_news.jpg

Yes, my example was a bit anecdotal and the rest of my friends have no issues with their plethora of Android phones. However, the need to preventively maintain it was a pain to find out when we needed to use the camera in an emergency.

I've got two Nexus One's (mine and my wife's). Never had any problems with the camera. Both are running the stock OS, no custom ROM's or anything else fancy.
