What I love in Open Camera is that I am able to turn off all extra post-processing (noise, yes please) and use my phone camera with full manual settings like it was a DSLR (with a really bad sensor). Only problems are clunky UI and general slowness of taking pictures, but you get used to it.

It's really unbeatable from a photographer / artist perspective, especially because I care a lot about imperfect gritty noisy looks and full control.

If you are photogrpher, you don't care about postprocessing in app. You want RAW file and edit in reliable editing software.

One thing I also care about is the storage space on my phone running out... Also, I haven't found any good RAW editing app on my phone yet, and I am not gonna jump through the hoops of taking the picture to my laptop and editing it there before just sharing some random snapshot of a day with someone.

But yes, I am a photograper and always take raw photos with my DSLR.

You still use DSLR as photographer in 2026?

Unprofessional photograper, the camera is pretty old but serves me well enough.
