just imagine a camera app where
- all common hardware features and lenses are supported
- it has a pro mode tab
- it doesn't crash every minute
- it doesn't add weird filters that you can't remove to 87.123% of photos with weird obscure conditions (software magic AI ML bitcoin blockchain agile image enhancement)
- the UI isn't ugly as shit to the point of being barely usable
do I just carry a separate digital camera with me everywhere

@AgathaSorceress oh and
- it lets me use the maximum resolution in pro mode (or support it at all but apparently it’s just vendors with their absurd >24MP cameras locking the higher modes behind the stock camera app with less features than the basic mode)

@AgathaSorceress there is like no reason why my 50MP camera cannot actually shoot 50MP images! unless they are just oversampling a smaller sensor which sounds like false advertisement to me
And no there is literally no reason why i would want 100MB raw files but i still want them

@AgathaSorceress from what i can tell my new phone’s camera actually has a smaller sensor than my old ones? the stock camera shoots smaller images in RAW mode

electricfox@todon.eu@AgathaSorceress I found Open Camera to be the best one on F-Droid.

FreeDcam has the most options. It's UI is a bit to clunky for me in day use. So I only use it, when I need it's features.

I think they calculate the resolution based on that of the bayer matrix. That being said, I'm not complaining, I have plenty of resolution enough it's mostly color accurancy and (the total absence of) low-light capabilities that I'm less happy about
It's a screenshot of my photo g…

deetwenty@todon.nl@charlotte @miifox @AgathaSorceress Though it is making up stuff in the debayering process it is not completely out of nothing so to speak, this is one reason why it is so hard to set a limit on what the comparative resolution of film is. e.g. if you believe the (de)bayering process looses no information at all a 4x5 sheet of film is about 100MP, while if the loss would be full the shame sheet would be 400MP equivalent, neither end is really true but the amount of loss is scene dependent (a scene lit by blue laser light would be closer to the 400MP end, while a grey scene lit by a white light closer to the 100MP end). Also with the advent of computational photography most phone cameras make up a lot more than just debayering (without computational photography a 20~24MP FF sensor + descent glass would beat any 50+MP phone sensor even with some generational differences)

That said i do wonder if they make mirrorless 3 sensor cameras (like video cameras with 3ccds)

deetwenty@todon.nl@miifox @charlotte @AgathaSorceress Nyquist sampling theorem is still applicable, and that combined with MTF diagrams can give you an idea of what the equivalent resolution could be (of course this then gets into anti-aliasing, debayering, etc, so is not an easy thing to do)

deetwenty@todon.nl@charlotte @miifox @AgathaSorceress Not that I know off, though many mirror less cameras do offer a pixelshift mode that can replicate the effect of a 3 sensor camera (at least for static scenes)
