Google appears to be working on a series of improvements for cameras on Android, including burst mode, face detection, and the ability to work with RAW photos. The possible new camera features were-spotted in the public Android source code by Josh Brown and Ars Technica, and they appear to have been in the works since December 2012. The updates would be part of a camera API that any manufacturer could tap into, allowing all Android phones to take advantage of these additions. While Google may have been aiming to ship these changes in KitKat, it appears that they weren't ready in time.
