Camera roll and photostream take up too much space on iphone 5

I have 16GB Iphone 5 and i have 2.03 GB left! I plug my phone into Itunes and it says that 6.79 GB is taken up by my pictures (834 photos) I have 348 on camera roll and 486 on photo stream- which makes 834. I only want to keep the pictures that i have on my camera roll on my phone, why do i have to have a photostream too? Is there anyway i can fix this?

Take off the Photo Stream. You don't have to have to have it. I don't see how 834 pictures takes up 6.79GB of space.

Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream > OFF

I have 2248 pics taking up 448.3MB. Just stating that for the record.

Also if you want to further free up some space try a desktop app called Phone Clean (free).
