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 mean this one - hopefully - still wants Location, Camera, Microphone and Files, right? Otherwise it’d be pretty limited as a camera. Granted I suspect it only wants Location if I turn on EXIF location as per its description, but the other three would be the bare minimum to work I imagine.
(edit)
Just checked it out, and yeah as expected it of course needs Camera, Microphone and Files. It doesn’t seem to ask for Location even if EXIF is enabled, which maps as it seems to be unable to even record location-of-picture even if desired.
So same permissions as both my Google Cam port and the pre-installed Fairphone camera app, yeah.
Yeah that’s going to be the minimum I suspect. Camera for pictures, mic for video, storage for saving those captures and recordings. The actual Google camera app I think requested contacts, read contents in storage, a whole lot of stuff not needed.
