Camera support progress

[natasha]

The example photograph you took, needs desperately autofocus, which I don't think we will be seeing in the near future.

How long are you thinking?

I never had Rasberry pi or any other single board computer. However, from what I read in this forum, these should be similar to pinephone.

Does raspberry pi have a camera? are the images good? can developers just adopt the software?

my questions might be naive, but I think that they cant be that different

any thought?

How long does it take depends on how much camera know-how is available and development hours expent on the subject.

A camera can be connected to the raspberry pi, but the applications there are rather different from what you would expect of a phone.

I hope we could have manual focus in the next few months.
Implementing usable WDR or autofocus algorithms will take much longer.

Thank you for your reply!
I am sorry to insist, and I know that insisting will not make the camera suddenly work
I just try to understand why it is so difficult when other similar devices already have working cameras .
Any Linux computer can accept a camera and they work at the very highest resolution, autofocus, adjust light, etc
I just checked and pinebook also has a camera. I don't know if works or not, but if does, should be the same? it is also an arm
