>>4318484>Tech reviewers absolutely wrecked cameraphone progress. A lot of people with giant otterboxes but man was the Nokia 808 blasted for its camera hump. Agree as well a few mm for battery and lens would make a huge difference.Tech reviewers ruined everything, from phones to laptops.
As for Nokia, I don't think it was the bump that killed it, it was symbian and windows. Dunno.
> A real easy feature to implement though most of my ultracompacts don't have it either I think. Do you have CHDK or whatever it is on your IXUS?I don't have IXUS. I have fuji finepix s4200.
But yes, I think most cameras can save raw. In case of my fuji, there is an option in the engineering menu to save one RAW file, a raw-RAW file with no header, no nothing, just pure data from the sensor (which exposes how shit 1/2.3" CCD is indoors and how good image processing is on that 2012 piece of shit). Oh, and you can take only one RAW file, otherwise camera crashes lol (probably it doesn't clear RAM)...
I don't know why didn't they add an option to save RAW files, especially since it is mostly implemented already. This is the example of raw file from the fuji digishit bridge.
I think phone manufacturers aren't really interested in the cameras. It is not a priority for them. They are making a phone. They won't do "color science" calibration stuff and lens picking camera manufacturers did. They would make bare minimum so it can take a picture of a document at the desk, and idk, a whiteboard or smht.
