Rear Camera : 13MP, f/2.2, NeoVision 6.0, Auto Focus, flash
Front Camera : 16MP, fixed focus, f/2.0

The camera quality is excellent. Low light should looks good but if you switch to manual then it gets even better. The hardware can shoot Full HD videos. Do check the sample images. Front camera does a decent job.
