With the free tier, you can only take 5 photos per day, but an annual $9.99 or $0.99 fee unlocks truly unlimited process-free photos.
What the actual fuck? They're really charging a subscription for an intentional lack of features?

MODERATORS
However, for most people, the 5-a-day limit might actually provide a better framework for taking high-quality images. This limit makes you think more about your shots, so it could be useful to improve. your composition, timing, and framing.
See, it's pro-consumer. Lol
Fuck subscriptions
Open Camera is FOSS (GPLv3) and is available in both Google Play and F-Droid.
It just does not take advantage of cameras with several lenses & detectors, which is a pity.
It doesn't do computational photography, true - I don't know of any open source mobile apps that can, it's a very complicated subject.
It does allow switching between the various lenses, at least on my OnePlus 12r.
Btw, there are like 10+ different camera apps on F-Droid that are Free Software.
stupidest thing ever. the ai hype and anti ai hype are both insane
The Zerocam app has been on iOS since earlier this year and has already amassed a loyal user base that swears by the limited processing look.
With the free tier, you can only take 5 photos per day, but an annual $9.99 or $0.99 fee unlocks truly unlimited process-free photos.
*sigh* I fucking hate those sheeple.
Anyone that's used a custom ROM knows just how shitty your 48MP camera looks like without the processing lol. People go out of their way to make GCam work because it's so bad.
It's one of those bougie "nostalgia" app isn't it? Like those shitty scamcorders that VWestlife covered not long ago.
