Sounds like a hardware problem, I would do a restore to confirm it.

Don't think if you have set Camera Restriction since the front camera works for you.

iphones are manufactured with lifespan of 2years. that's when you'll have battery problems, screen, power, camera, etc, etc.
its apple's way of telling you time to buy their latest model
