Q: ios - 8 where are the 'camera roll' and 'photostream' albums?

We need the Camera Roll back and we need a CLEAR distinction between LOCAL photos and iCloud uploaded ones. We should be able to tell what device made a photo. All photos are NOT created equal, Apple.

We need to be able to show an Info panel for a photo with details - camera, title, file format, aperture, etc.

There is now the search field, but the search options are limited. We cannot even search for the camera make.

Albums do not need extra space. You can add the same image to several albums. The photos are just referenced by the album and not copied.

i tried that, i moved some photos from "collections" to a new created album, went and checked out, there were same photos in two different albums, that means that the photo was not moved but it was copied to the album i created, my Question is, if there is 1 photo in 2 different albums does that fill the space i have, or  its just the size of original photo

Dont worry it won't take too much time .. I moved 1000 pics from photos to folders by making a new folder camera roll   just select all pics day by day and move to new folder in folder.. After that u can upload ur old camera rolls to facebook too .. Because if u won't move them u can't add ur all camera rolls pics to Facebook or other like whatsapp etc

no it won't becuse when u will delete a pic from photos it will also delete from new folder where u moved that pic ..

yes but if there were 2gb photos from ios7 (now they only are at collections) and i create a new album and move them to my new album, will it be 4gb filled or just those  2gbs of original photos

Photos stores each photo only once. An album is just a collection of instructions where to find the photos in that album on your device. And that does not need much extra space.

you can try it guys, i created a new album, copied all my collected photos to the new album, it doesnt get any extra space... thanks leonie n' shahry

when u will make move when picture from photos to a new folder u will see that pics in three places

1 albums recent added photos

2 new album made by u

3 Photos

when u will delete a pic from one place it will b delete from every where..

for example

find a pic in photos which u have in recently added photos already and then move that pic to a new folder at albums .. And now delete it.. U will delete this pic from every where ...

REcently added photos only showing 20 % of ur totals pics

and all other pics u can find including recently added in photos .. now if u want to have all the pics in albums u will select all day by day and will move to a new folder and It won't take extra space ..

U Welcome.. It was a shocking thing for me too when I could not find the old pics of my friends..

What I don't get is... they say RECENTLY ADDED is kinda like the Camera Roll.... yet if I take a pic with my iPhone it appears under RECENTLY ADDED on both my iPhone and iPad.

Where is this pic stored?

What if I want it ion my phone but not my iPad.... can I not do that anymore?

AND.... in the past you could clear your CAMERA ROLL to weed out older photos, but then still access them on the PHOTOSTREAM on other devices

I just do not understand this whole new concept at all.... maybe I need a video or something. Frustrating....

On a side note: "…as these devices will loose all access…". A very common spelling mistake, loose means something is not tight. The word you want is lose, as in lost.

Submitted cordially and respectfully.

With the "summarize photos" option active, photos will only show a representative subset of the photos in thumbnails view, when you view by year or by collection, so it will be easier to scroll.

Turning off the Summarize feature gives you slightly larger images in the Collections and Years view.  The Moments view will remain the same and is, IMO, the best option for viewing the photos somewhat like we did in the Camera Roll.
