Most DSLRs already have something like that. Both Nikon and Canon, at least, have free SDKs downloadable from their websites, and on Linux gphoto supports a ton of cameras.
As far as doing everything on camera, most higher end DSLRs have built-in controls for bracketing, multiple exposures, time lapse, etc.
- brunoluiz 10y agoSadly, Nikon's SDKs are quite limited, specially on supported devices
- jlarocco 10y agoLimited in what ways? I haven't used it directly myself, but Capture One uses the Nikon SDK, and it's able to fully control my camera with live view. In fact, they even have an iPad app for controlling the camera, with live view on the iPad.
- srcmap 10y agoDSLR camera should integrate Android + Phone SOC inside. Get the best of both world by combine Android as GUI/API layer + some big DSLR sensor/ custom image processing HW magic.
