Hello All, Apologies for what must be an obvious question, but I can’t find any recent information on this. I am going on a trip in April and would like to get the best photos I can from my Fairphone 3. I would appreciate your thoughts on: a) if it is worth upgrading the camera modules to the FP3…

[image] Alice.H: if it is worth upgrading the camera modules to the FP3+ I did that when I had an FP3 and the answer is no. You might want to give alternative camera apps like Open Camera a try, though. Best wishes, Thomas

Thank you! Sorry for such a dumb question - but what is gcam? I have seen lots of mention of it but am not clear what it is.

Does anyone have any experience with Fairphone 3+ and 3 and can tell me if the change is worth it? I especially need the change to record videos on the inside camera. Tha…
