I was faced with this dilemma myself upon purchasing a Nexus 7 last fall.

There is no built-in camera app on the Nexus 7, but there are two options that worked well for me.

1) you could go to Google Play and download the free Camera Launcher for Nexus 7 app from developer MoDaCo. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modaco.cameralauncher)

2) Download the popular photo sharing app, Instagram, also available from Google Play. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android)

Don't expect great results when you take photos with the front facing camera on the Nexus 7, as the resolution of the camera is a mere 1.2 megapixels, and it's a little tough to get a good photo of anything using the front-facing camera. Well, unless you're only wanting photos of yourself, then it'll work just fine.

The Nexus 7 (the 2013 version) comes with a camera app. If the 2012 Nexus 7 does not come with a camera app, there are plenty of third party camera apps that you can use to take pictures with. In addition, as most tablets (and Nexus 7 is no exception) have usually lower spec'ed cameras than what you find on smartphones, you can also install a photo editing app that can help enhance your photos. If you have the newest version of Android OS (4.4 KitKat as of this writing), the Gallery and Photos app have photo editing tools, some of it coming from Snapseed. Speaking of Snapseed, you can also download their app and have a full suite of photo editing tools at your disposal. Or, there are a number of third party photo editing apps out there (Pixlr, PicSay among others).
