Sure:

I've made two screenshots. After installed JB on my phone, i can't take any pictures anymore..

If i open the app, there's only a black screen. Few seconds later comes the error msg.

First: " Error: Camera isn't available" : shows everytime i open camera

second: "Camera doesn't work - Do you want to close? Wait-Ok"

First thing to try is to go to Applications -> All, find the "Camera" app and clear cache

There are also the "Camera common" and "Camera extension" apps, you can try clearing them too. If you don't want to clean the phone and install a fresh system, there's not much more I can help you with since it works for me

Good luck!

If you have cleared data from the camera app and restarted the phone and the problem persists I recommend that you repair the phone software using PC Companion:
