Answer 1

Have you tried setting quality in the intent?

Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);                
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

Answer 2

Please call the below function to capture image from camera.

 private final static String FOLDER_NAME = "YourAppName/Image/";
 private Uri selectedImageUri = null;

public void startCamera() 
    {
        File photo = null;
        Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
        String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
        if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) 
        {
            photo = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), FOLDER_NAME+File.separator+timeStamp+".png");
        } 
        else 
        {
            photo = new File(getCacheDir(), FOLDER_NAME+File.separator+timeStamp+".png");
        }    
        if (photo != null) 
        {
            intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photo));
            selectedImageUri = Uri.fromFile(photo);
            startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_CALLBACK);
        }
    }

You can get image Uri in selectedImageUri variable . (Image is stored in Sdcard)

    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) 
    {
        switch (requestCode) 
        {
            case CAPTURE_IMAGE_CALLBACK:

                break;
          }
     }
