As a minor correction, the N5 front camera is a LIMITED, not a LEGACY device.

It doesn't quite do the per-frame synchronized controls required for FULL like the main back-facing camera, but otherwise offers manual control and high-speed output.

That's absolutely correct, thank you for the correction :)

It's still LIMITED on 5.1, however it's possible to control ISO, white balance, shutter speed, set a custom color space conversion matrix which allows a lot of cool things for a font camera.
