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.

I use Open Camera. I disabled native camera. Pixel 9pro
^ This, 1000%
Thanks, I’ll try Open Camera. Crossing fingers.
btw be sure to enable camera2 api in opencamera settings (unless ur phone is decade+ old)
You won’t be disappointed, no need to geotag every fucking image…
The thing is I don’t want geotag. I don’t want any metadata on my pics.
Exactly. Open Camera doesn’t need any more permissions than storage and camera, no location services necessary nor required.
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
Sometimes you have to uninstall open camera and then reinstall it. It will recalibrate and start being sharp again. Its free and you can have the light on as you like which is great for macros.
