Matt Y’all need to checkout what a phone camera sensor’s true potential is by checking out MotionCam Pro app(free and paid version). They have a YouTube channel. Basically this app lets you shoot RAW Video.. and you can convert it later into ProRes Video/CinemaDNG or just keep it as a DNG sequence. The quality difference is night and day. It literally looks like the video is shot on an actual video camera. MotionCam Pro also have an Windows app where you can convert the RAW into other Raw formats.. basically letting you convert on PC instead of phone itself.

When you shoot RAW, all that matters is the Camera sensor manufacturer. One of the reasons why I chose Nothing Phone (2) is because it has Sony IMX 890. Just see the video sample from MotionCam Pro YouTube channel. How incredibly clean the video is. I know this is not for the normal users. But still a tiny camera sensor producing this level of quality.
Nothing needs to bring RAW video and their flavour of Raw to camera app. It would definitely put them on the map for sure.
What nothing needs is a group of people specialised in Image Processing and AI.
Matter of fact Samsung’s latest video showcasing their video performance was shot on MotionCam Pro app and they made it look it was shot on the stock camera app. Deceiving people at it’s finest. Stock camera app could never reach the quality of Raw video.
People are really sleeping on this app.
