The 8MP optically stabilised camera on the Nexus 5 is one of the highlights of the device. This is the first time that Google has actually used a decent camera system on a Nexus device.

According to Brain Klug of AnandTech, the Nexus 5 uses the Sony IMX179 CMOS, with a 1/3,2-inch sensor size. The individual pixels are 1.4um in size, which along with OIS should help greatly in low-light situations.
