Is that personal opinion based on using it? - or is that based on videos/comments online?
Can you upload some pictures please to show the sub par camera - what don't you like about it from using it?
I generally don't listen to reviews - I make my own opinion based on on comparisons with photos from other devices. GSMArena is a good site for this.
The main concerns I have with the camera are:
- Dynamic range - it doesn't appear as good as my iPhone XS, which is quite a bit behind the Pixel 2 XL I had prior.
- White balance - seems off compared to my personal preference.
- Exposure - has a tendency to overexpose rather than under. Results in a brighter image overall, but doesn't look as natural in my opinion.
Daytime shots are, on the whole, great, but I still prefer shots out of my iPhone and, before, my Pixel. Photos taken on it don't look as natural to me, from the limited number of samples I've seen.
Reliability was my main point with the Pixel - I could ALWAYS get a great photo, but that doesn't look like it's the case with the OP7 Pro. It's not
bad - I never said it was, but it is sub par, especially considering the cost of the device.
But as always, this is personal preference.
Here's an example:

Pixel 3:

Areas I would like to point out:
- Warmer overall tone on the Pixel 3 - I prefer this look
- Light reflections on the Pixel 3 are captured a lot better - almost non existent on OP7. Again, a preference.
- Image overall looks more natural from the Pixel
