How good would the experience be with a linux phone and an external camera?
I’ve got a pixel 6 and although camera’s are getting better each year, it’s not even close to a dslm. And video qualit is probably better with a proper action camera.
I mean, directly “mounting” the camera to the phone and shooting with the phone.
I really doubt that. Computational photography is only as good as it is because of how heavily it processes all sorts of data that can’t make it into the jpeg that gets spit out.
I would love to see what an Apple camera with the hardware they leverage on iPhone, but a full frame sensor and real lens could do, because what they manage to pull out of the trash ass input is impressive. But it’s already processed to absolute hell. There’s nothing left for further passes to pull out.
