Shoot in RAW, without the extras some camera apps add.

You can take 5 photos for free every day, or subscribe to get full access and support our work

😂😂😂

A subscription for a camera app that advertises itself as doing less than the stock camera app.

Is this a joke app?

I can literally turn on RAW photos in my Pixel camera settings. Pretty sure you can on Samsung too.

And Open Camera is a free alternative app, too, without a '5 photos per day" limit, if you don't want to bother with RAW.

open camera can shoot in RAW too

Does that remove any on device AI the pixel camera does? Or is it just an uncompressed version of the same photo?

Open source camera apps like open camera and fossify camera exist as well and don't cost money

Open F-Droid, search camera. I see Fossify Camera, Open Camera, Libre Camera, and FreeDCam that basically provide the appeal that this subscription camera app has (AI-less).

Open PlayStore/Alternative, search camera. Holy cow! I'm not even going to name any. There are so many. Not all are AI-less, but there are a plenty.

Also, GCam has a RAW option. So.... out of the box, this new camera app is unnecessary.

This is useless garbage.

Why would you make the picture worse on purpose? The cameras of modern phones have their own Algorithm chip to enhance the image as the actual camera isn't really that capable.

[–] bandwidthcrisis 1 points 1 week ago

Overall Google does impressive processing of photos. But for a while, photos with my Pixel were visible "over-processed" looking. It's improved now. But it still goes to far making the sky look colorful sometimes.

It's good to have the option to do my own processing, or just to take a picture as-is as much as possible.

Like adding a better moon to night shots! Thanks, algorithm chip!
