Could you build this?
Partial A camera UI and filter presets are vibe-codeable. A true RAW pipeline with ProRAW handling, low-latency video, and convincing film color science needs native iOS camera expertise and tuning.
What it would actually take: Building it needs Swift with AVFoundation and Metal for real-time processing, along with DNG and ProRAW handling and a color pipeline tuned by someone who understands film and sensor data. Performance on-device and per-device tuning are the hard parts.
