Added to your points, you could use Google Assistant.
One of the problems with taking photos as I understand it is the noise
introduced to a camera of any sort through the arm shaking etc so voice
activation would illuminate this so yes, “One Day?”

As someone who bought a "real" camera (a Sony a6000) a year or so ago, I
completely agree with that article - I was stunned that things I just took
for granted with my smartphone camera were impossible with a "real" camera -
both photographically and sharing - the lack of sharing is the reason that
for many things i still reach for my phone to snap a photo of something if I
just quickly want to post it or send it.
And even photo things - if you look at what you can do with a smartphone
camera these days, the results, given the size of the sensor etc, are really
incredible, and it's all down to the software - what if you could have that
kind of computational image improvement backed by a good sensor?
Even just in terms of photography - I enjoyed creative apps on my phone where
I could play with false colour, or other tricks, or slit scan photography, or
double exposures, all of which are largely impossible with a "real" camera -
I've found out some offer basic forms of some of these, and for most of them
it's possible - eg you can make a slit scan photograph by taking a video on
the camera, and then running it through a program on the PC.
Even from the camera manufacturer's point of view - instead of writing a
whole system to run their camera, they could just concentrate on the
hardware, basically bolt it to an off the shelf phone processor, and employ
an 18 year old to write an android app to run it.
And getting back to the group topic - you could use Talkback or magnifier in
the camera interface - you could use Google lens to read a sign 30 metres
away with a proper zoom lens. With a macro lens you'd have something which
would make a great portable video magnifier and so on and so on...
One day :)

Hi.
If the blog entry below is still accurate – no reason to assume otherwise –
then the read came as somewhat of a shock to me.
I recently bought a Nikon DSLR camera for some filming work round our new
farm.
I should receive delivery of the camera early next week so in the meantime
I’ve been going through the manual and following along – wherever possible –
with the video tutorials.
In the meantime I started wondering about the existence of a dedicated DSLR
camera running Android OS, hence the article I found below.
