Hi,

Tomorrow I'll buy an iPhone 5c and will restore it using iCloud Backup. My iPhone 5 has loads of apps on it, many of which I don't use regularly. My question is, is it possible to only Backup my camera roll (and device's settings of course) and not the apps. So if I restore it my photos will show back up but only like the stock apps are on it (and my contacts etc.).

Thanks!

Sure, go into Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage -> Your phone -> Select what you want backed up to iCloud (in your case only camera roll).
