are there free software cameras with batteries?

Is there a camera that is not high quality? Can take pictures and video? Has a renewable battery? Can be used as a computer webcam? Something like the thinkpenguin webcam if it had a battery.
Most compact, bridge and DSLR cameras can be used with free software in the sense that you can interface with them through USB and copy the photographies to a computer running free software. However, I don't know of any that you can use, also as a “webcam” with free software (that is, transfer the audio and video stream in real time). DSLRs usually use proprietary formats for raw images, but you can decode most of them with Dcraw and RawTherapee.
If you find something that meets your requirements let us know. Good luck.
Maybe this Snappicam:

The Raspberry pi needs proprietary software to boot, it can't reach the point of executing libre software without binary blobs.
This is a fatal flaw so I don't recommend this SoC board.
> free software cameras
Do you mean a camera that is free software friendly (a camera that is recognized by Triquel)?
Or a camera that only includes free software (like RYF devices)?
A camera, that has only free software. Again it seems not possible to get one. In generel about hardware I should write, device that only uses free software. If that is not available, a free software friendly device. I do not want to obtain hardware, before I have asked on this forum what are the options.
this post is about free software
helping people use free software instead of non-free software
is on of the main goals of trisquel

Indeed that is about Free Software, but this forum should be under free software issues forum folder. Do we have that folder available? No we don't!
By Reading the community forum guidelines, Some of guidelines could be read and interpret very differently.
It is not specific and still vague with generalization. Thai is just my opinion, everyone else is entitled to their own.
All I'm asking is a little bit of reorganization with More alternative forum folders. It will be good For any user to post properly in their proper forums, as need it.
That will help, folder indexing and topic location, avoiding the over crowding of the main forum, it will help at the long run.
Everything has its rightful place. Yet, If the admins of this Trisquel website, don't mind non-related Trisquel topics to be place anywhere? Then is there headache, resources, time and money.
Specially, When downtime and maintenance schedules take longer from the normal.
This matter needs to be address properly.
Respectfully and don't scream at me. I'm all ears...
"Respectfully and don't scream at me. "
i don’t believe i ever did
i agree that there needs to be more forum folders
but until then i think its the only way people can
get there questions noticed
This is a post that belongs here more than in the troll hole, but by far less than in an as-of-yet-nonexistant non-troll off-topic section.
