I've seen some chatter about the photo app loading or snapping slowly. I have not experienced this. It's fine. Push the button and it captures in less than a second or faster every time.

Yep, the camera isn't the fastest I've ever used, but is def no slow by any means.

I'm not sure if it's just me. But the camera app takes a lot of time to load sometime and also hangs. It struggles to switch to the other camera. I've seen this happen information even after installed Google Camera App. I'm now concerned about it as it could be the the camera itself.
The pictures are great when it works. But its not as quick and fast as my previous X Play or X Style.
Any help to fix or in the right direction would be great. This is just a week old phone. Nothing done to the OS.

The time it takes to open the camera from standby is 1-2 seconds.
The time it takes to take a shot is on par with other highend phones I used (Huawei P10, HTC 10).
The time it takes to focus is instantaneous since this has a dual pixel phase detection auto focus (same as Galaxy S8). Definitely faster than my HTC 10.
The time it takes to save a picture when HDR is NOT triggered is on par with other highend phones.
The time it takes to save a picture when HDR is triggered is ~2 seconds (same as HTC 10).
Try turning off HDR (turn off auto HDR) and you'll see how fast the camera is.
It's the auto HDR processing that causes some delay when SAVING the pictures.

For me, launching the camera is nearly instant. I've been able to take at least ten photos in about 25 seconds with little blur. I'll admit that's in daylight or other well lit instances.
Even in low light, I can snap at least a couple of photos quickly and gain some usable photos. I can thank the image stabilizer, and f1.8 aperture for that.
The Moto Gestures for the camera is a godsend. (Twist twice to open the camera app.) I can take candids with this phone with ease and the read-write capability of the phone is extremely quick.
the app is fast to launch, but there is often shutter lag. I was walking around taking pictures and noticed I had a few shots of the ground as I lowered the phone too soon!

i'm getting agitated that LG hasn't released an update to fix some of these bugs, yet. camera app is really slow to start sometimes. hangs up really badly when switching to night mode. many apps are slow to launch in this way, but camera is the most disruptive. get your $#!% together LG. i paid a lot of money for this device.
My issue was once I took a photo, I had to wait for it to save. Like if I snap and then exit the camera, it doesn't save the photo.
Double click the power button could be faster, I don't own a Samsung but I know my friend's S7 is better to grab that quick snap than my LG G7 from the lockscreen/screen off. Launching the app and switching between front, back, and wide is not bad. It isn't instant but quick enough where it isn't awkward. The low light auto switching causes mini freezes which is why I turned it off.
Camera lag is bad and wait to save to storage is bad too. For this device, it should save MUCH faster particularly to built in storage. My S9+ saves MUCH faster and it's pointing to a 256GB microSD card to boot. Not impressed.
As above camera is slow to launch, frustratingly slow to take pictures, and also as above sometimes the picture doesn't save after taking a shot and exiting the camera. Again as above very disappointed as I paid alot for this phone.....

Camera user experience is garbage. Very slow to launch and be ready to take the first snap, when you press the shutter, slow to react, then switching back and forth between normal angle to wide angle is about 2-3x slower than the previous phones like G6, G5... It's baffling why the switching is so slow. Bad implementation all around. LG, c'mon, step it up!

In menu "Advanced features" you can set "Quick launch camera" by quickly pressing the Power key twice.
It works really well for instant shots but depending of the conditions sometimes the autofocus just wonders.
Today I found working version of gcam for our phone and boy, does it focus instantly even in dark places. Why the hel this app is not in place of the current default camera app.
There is also the function "Magnifier" which uses the rear camera and zooms really descend with stable focus. The app have few and clear buttons. I`m not sure but I suspect it`s using not the main cam but the wide one because of the minimal focus distance. Anyway, my grandma was impressed of how practical was.
Belgarionbg, can you tell me where to download gcam for our phone?
Thank you.
We already have a thread for it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/themes/pixel-camera-port-t3863094 and you can find links in my post under #5
Currently I have tested all exynos builds but only GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__N6_1.8.apk is fully functional without crashing.
The only problem is that it shoots only in 8MP even if 24MP are selected. But it`s fast as hell.

it actually bothers me.. from clicking the capture to having the photo saved it takes a good 1 second.
This in turn translates in blurry , shaken, lost moments.
Try this: click the capture then drag your phone. The photo will be from while you drag your phone. I tried a lot of apps, all are consistent to this problem.
The app opens almost instantly. the main shooter is very fast and saves pics fast. the Tele lens is making you wait like 3 seconds! and the portrait is taking forever to take one photo you have to wait like 4 - 5 seconds to take another one.
The video is also **** cause of the dropped frames and its not even 60FPS!
Hope an update will fix all above

It's pretty good!
I think the camera speed is average. Don't get me wrong - I love the OnePlus 7 Pro's camera('s), but there are some things related to the camera speed which aren't on par with other phones (flagships). The stock camera app takes about 1 - 1.5 seconds to open, which is not bad at all and is not my problem. The only issue I have is with the shutter speed: it takes just a 'millisecond' more to 'click' than I'd like it to. This doesn't stop me from taking photographs of high quality, but I have noticed that when I'm taking a selfie and I can't hold it still enough, it just has this annoying blur. Not too much to absolutely ruin, the picture, but it's there and noticeable. That being said, I wouldn't want to get another phone at all - I love it and the camera's on it, and the blur can absolutely be avoided by just not moving at all, even though that is hard to do and some phones do a better job of avoiding it.
I'm happy with the speed. I use the double press power button feature and the camera is open very fast.

I've noticed this on the stock camera app, Gcam works way better in this situation though, so it's a software issue
