Review are always bad for the camera on the MotoX Gen 1 but man.. my buddy has the Gen 1 and in average to good lighting, the pics and videos he has shown me are simply gorgeous. I do NOT get the knock on this phone for its camera (except in low light) which most phones struggle with.

@MarBearCat I know that's right. The only way they will not sell you one is if the president on your money is still alive

I'll be grabbing one on launch. I have owned quite a bit of the other brand smartphones out there. I have to say all around the Motorola phones to me are the best. Good reception, no problems with texting and send pics, awesome battery life. I currently have right now a Lg G3 since launch. It's a good phone but there are problems here and there with mine. Like sometimes when I'm sending a mms text it will not send it and it's just stuck saying "sending". The reception is okay but not the best. With my Droid Maxx I had constant 4g lte signal. The battery life is okay with my lg g3 since I turned it down to 60% brightness. Text with swiftkey is kind of laggy.
Since I've always had good luck with Motorola phones I'll be grabbing one and giving up my Lg G3 to my wife unless she wants to stick with her S4.

Vanillaish as it will have a few blurred skinned icons. With that said I prefer the blur look over touchwiz.
Blur is a lot less blurish than it was... It's pretty vanilla.. Lol. But yeah, it's not pure stock Android.. But it's very close
I live in a fringe area.. Had nothing but trouble.. What sucks is when they first lit 4g here.. It was awesome.. Then 5 Months later they changed their antennas pitch. And poof. Crap..
Also, it can vary by phone.. The quality of the solder job on part of the board, or not enough Flux in part of a 1000 yard line spool of solder.. A chip not laying correctly before the robot heats the paste to solder it down... Any of a number of things on mass produced devices, can make two of the same phones built thirty mins apart, way different..

So in regards to the camera, yeah... Motorola typically misses the charts. Really the only thing that I feel Motorola fails on in phones is the camera. I'm cautiously optimistic that with the very high resolution of this camera they might be inclined to place more attention on the image quality. We all know that beyond a reasonable number of megapixels there isn't much that increasing resolution can do to increase image quality.
Yes, high resolution sensors allow the images to be enlarged and still be clear, and yes, it allows images to be cropped and the resulting cropped photos still look crisp but if the colors are off or the original image is out of focus or the dynamics are lacking you'll still get a mediocre image as a result. It's all about the software behind the sensor and the lenses in front of it. So let's hope that they don't let that 21 megapixels go to waste or rely upon the sensor's very high resolution to make up for shortcomings of the other factors.
I have high hopes for this device and I have a gut feeling that the entire device is going to be a very positive experience. Motorola/Lenovo needs a home run here or at least a couple runs batted in to get them back in the game. They should be where Samsung was last year but for the few shortcomings of their phones recently they have been chastised. The funny thing is that what should matter most in a phone is the phone and yet they shine in that department but it goes without mention. Go figure.
