Can confirm this is not working on Android 7 with Galaxy s7 … has anyone found a solution to this yet?
Ionic is reliant on cordova and cordova-plugin-camera plugin does not at this time support Android 7 or 8. I guess that would be the problem. Although the plugin also does not support iOS 11 but the camera is working fine for me on an iPhone X .

This isn’t true I think, I could test successfully cordova-plugin-camera on Nexus 5X with Android 7, 8 and 8.1
But I’m agree than newer Android is, older the phone is, less responsive the camera is
UPDATE
On my phone with Android 8.1 it works, but it’s really laggy. Therefore I opened a new subject, see [SOLVED] Camera plugin restart App on Android
From the OP’s post. It’s pretty old so I don’t know if there been some changes, but there’s no encoding type in the “options”. That can’t be helpful I don’t think
saveToPhotoAlbum: true will crash your app as far as I can tell. I read a couple things recently that stated what we do with the photo is up to us to handle. Unfortunately, that requires the File and FileTransfer plugins which are pretty rusty at the moment.
I could be, and hopefully am, wrong about that.
I have found this issue, if you are using the background mode plugin you have to disable it before launching the camera:
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disable();
You then can reenable once you have finished with the camera.
