linux phone with external camera? - eviltoast

How good would the experience be with a linux phone and an external camera?

I’ve got a pixel 6 and although camera’s are getting better each year, it’s not even close to a dslm. And video qualit is probably better with a proper action camera.

I mean, directly “mounting” the camera to the phone and shooting with the phone.

    That’s exactly why I want to replace the phone camera and with linux there’s basically endless possibilities to deal with it

      Excluding some of the smaller point and shoots, which are still more volume than most phones, DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras are way bigger than phones for a reason. It’s because that’s what it takes to take actual high quality pictures without cheating heavily with processing.

      my point is that you might as well just have the phone be separate at that point. instead of having to frankenstein them together just have two devices. also, last i checked the linux experience on a small handheld device is not something you’d want to subject yourself to daily. android is much more what you’d want.
