Wow, finally found non-shit (and FOSS!) camera app for Android. https://f-droid.org/app/net.sourceforge.opencamera …

Further review: still like it & seems like best option so far, but the exposure controls are badly lacking & it has some bugs.

It's not very good. A 500 LOC sample app can take comparable/better pictures. Competitive low light still shots require computational photography like HDR+ to leverage multiple captures and there's no open source option available. Every vendor with a decent camera has their own.

Show me one with shutter time control. That's literally all you need to take good pics, but without auto it's a pain.

I do NOT want vendor's camera app because I don't want to be stuck switching apps whdn switching vendors. That's utterly idiotic snd backwards.

Sure, this was a big problem for us on Nexus phones and 1st generation Pixels. Long exposures for low light shots aren't comparable to the high quality still shots provided by a vendor's camera app, especially if you aren't mounting the phone on something.

There's a fairly active open source app community but this isn't something that's covered by it. Either you use the vendor camera app or you get low quality pictures. Other phones will hopefully follow the lead of the Pixel 2 (XL) where every app can easily take proper pictures.

It's not a problem with only vendor camera working. Even default app can do ok with -2.0 exposure & manually scaling samples later. The problem is apps being crap & not using the (working!) controls camera api 2 gives them.
