He probably means whenever you take a picture it flips it entirely upside down which is a bug in M which is the reason I reverted back to stock a week ago

Yes what imablackhat said is totally true. It flips the images upside down and if you have words the look flipped
Ah ok. It's not actually a bug at all. All cameras flip the image upside down. They always have, always will. Look at your reflection in a spoon. It's upside down. Thats because when light reflects off a concave surface, the light that bounces off the top of the spoon bounces into the bottom of your eye. Similarly the light that bounces off the bottom of the spoon bounces into the top of your eye, flipping the image. The same is true of a camera lens. The light passes through, out the concaved side and onto the opposite top or bottom edge of the sensor. What the processing software then does is has to flip the image back to make it appear the right way round.
The issue here is that those third party apps have not yet been updated to do that on M. This usually happens when a new version of android is released.
None-the-less, the result is the same and will remain so until those apps are updated.

I dont use Snapchat, sorry.
Having problems with the 2.5 version on the m preview with taking HDR pictures fast, seems after the 3rd quick one I won't be allowed to take anymore until they are done processing, also had some crashes and lost some photos that I taken, got caught up in processing in the background then seemed to have disappeared altogether from the device
This isn't just happening on the M preview. I am on 5.1.1 (Chroma) and it happens. I think it's a problem Google needs to fix.

Version I have is 2.5.044, my N4 is on 2.5.050. The whole google camera has been disappointing honestly and I wish they would stop holding back on features and improvements, what's the problem already?
i did find a bug in the m camera. if using the flash, and you touch to focus on the screen, the camera will refocus right into the center and then take the shot.
