Noisy camera after macOS 15.1 update on MacBook Pro M1 Pro

I feel my macbookpro m1 pro camera became noisy (many spots) after updating to macos 15.1. I've made sure there are no scratches or dirt on my camera and before that it was fine. is there another possibility because this happened after I updated macos

I have the exact same problem. And I too started noticing the issue after the update to 15.1

You know things are getting weird with me an Apple. I have been a faithful Mac guy since 1992, but recently with an overheated phone that bent and now my camera going south on me after an upgrade to my year old MacBook Air and looking at $600 fix, I am beginning to think about making the move to what I always considered the dark side. I bought an Honor phone for $225 while teaching in China this year. Better camera than on my iPhone 14 and overall quite nice for 1/5th the price. As much as I have loved being a part of the Mac family and the overall convenience of communication between the devices, I am thinking it's time to say adios. I know that Android also have their problems, but the price points are ******* me off as I feel the quality has diminished on all my products Apple products, Including my fancy earbuds.

Same issue. Camera is very grainy/noisy only after updating to 15.1.1. This issue is in Mac Book Pro M1. Noise/grains seems to be reduced if we expose to natural light or with more light source but still can't get the look how it was before this update. Its really irritating to attend only meeting and interviews with this noisy/grainy video.
