I dont know if its gone or not but I do know I want my picture right there and I dont want to go through any crap to get to it
Agreed. I always kept my camera roll fairly small, but used it as a bit of a reference tool - for example, taking pics in a store of items I wanted to refer to later, or a jokey picture I would send to my daughter every time she annoyed me. Others were just pictures that I wanted to keep but were not important enough to sync back to my Mac or organize in an album.
As such, I had certain photos in my camera roll that were a year or more old; now the only way to find them is to go to the "all photos" and scroll by date - through literally thousands of photos (including those synced from my Mac) from 2007 onward to find them. This is a HUGE issue for me, and I don't see any indication that it's a "temporary thing" that will be restored in a later beta.

I see new album called 'Recently added'. Perhaps this is the replacement to 'Camera roll'.
It's really not. I'm not sure exactly where the photos in "recently added" come from - I don't use "my photostream" and only rarely used "shared photostreams" - but it seems to consist of around 1000 of the last pictures saved to the camera roll/uploaded to photostream, sorted by DATE.
So, in my case, best as I can tell: I had pictures on my camera roll from pre-May 2014. After a cruise in May 2014, I uploaded pictures to a shared photostream to share with friends. Then I took some pictures with my phone in late May 2014. What "recently added" does is just (apparently) go back 1000 pictures from the most-recent picture.
So for me, my "recently added" includes the pictures I took on my phone in late May 2014 and (some of) the pictures I added to a shared photostream in May 2014 - but all of my earlier pictures in camera roll "fall out" of "recently added" and can only be accessed by scrolling through all of my years of pictures to find them by date taken.
