To rule out a software problem, set it up as new device without using the backup afterwards:

If the camera is not functioning after that, get the phone serviced. Opening the phone to repair the phone yourself can't be recommended. Once you have opened the phone, Apple will not service it anymore and you'll have to search for 3rd party repair shops.
