With camera sensors being so good, the major differences will be autofocus capabilities.
Imagine an open source autofocus algorithm that people can use their own photos locally so that it can focus on your shooting style.

This will be multi-kilobucks but best wishes. There was a series of GPL cameras some years back (I'm spacing on the name) but they used smaller sensors and were more video oriented. Anyone remember?
Wouldn't THIS be a better link?
I get why ppl would use something other than github, but why do they have to torture me with gitlab?
What’s wrong with GitLab?
It has light mode by default and a UI that I find to be really unintuitive, but what really bothers me is that ppl go from one for-profit git host to another for-profit git host when things like Codeberg exist. With GitHub you could at least argue that you can turn your hobby project into a job since it has a huge userbase and stuff like github sponsors, but what does gitlab offer for you?
TL;DR: It's not Codeberg
Gitlab is a security nightmare. They have zero conception how to write secure code and they don't care to learn.
I was looking for a link to the previous CVEs I was aware of and there is yet another one that is new to me: https://thehackernews.com/2024/09/urgent-gitlab-patches-critical-flaw.html
This is not a serious service to be hosting source code on.
Not if you want to promote a website.
Lately I've been browsing MPB used camera market for an upgrade to my decade old Canon clunker because they want to charge a monthly fee to use it with my PC.
Its nice to see progress made for Open Source cameras but I don't see it being competittive with used cameras price-wise.
Say whaaaa?
Canon wants to charge for their webcam utility?
Yes, basic 720p is free but if you have an old 1080p camera then you gotta pay up or deal with lower res or unclean hdmi out.
There are no open source drivers for Canons.
Do you mean specifically webcam drivers? Because Magic Lantern still works as far as I know?
I'll test it out when I get back and let you know if thats true.
EDIT: Just remembered I gave the old camera to a relative because I was planning to upgrade lmao. Where were you months ago?!
Dude thats sweet as hell
