I tried to like OpenCamera, but the pictures just look awful compared to Pixel Camera, so I'm using that with network permissions denied. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or Google is just doing some post processing magic.
The mic is broken on my Pixel 6 and the Pixel camera resets to use the internal mic every time it starts, where Open Camera will save the setting to use an external mic. I may have had to tweak settings initially to get good quality but it's been fine for a long time. Black Magic would auto switch to external mic (as does Samsung, btw) but the video was absolute unusable garbage on Black Magic on the Pixel. I don't know if they've fixed it yet but there was something terribly wrong with it. All of that led me to using Open Camera by default.
