Wondering what people are thinking about this and why the internet is so quiet about it. I am not happy. Today it decided I couldn't use the camera without giving it extensive permissions and agreeing to it. Not cool. Update: Open Camera worked and I hope Google doesn't block this and other apps in September as they are threatening. Almost slipped into agenda posting. You all have the internet too.

    You won't be disappointed, no need to geotag every fucking image...

    I always feel like there is some secret sauce in the google camera app that makes the images look so much better ... So i went back

    proprietary camera apps almost always come with proprietary post process algorithms that open source apps dont have access to, hence the better photo quality

    photoncamera on fdroid has its own post process algorithms that are quite decent but the app itself is a bit janky and seems abandoned
