GPhoto2-rs: High level libgphoto2 bindings for Rust
But the rust bindings (gphoto-rs) weren't quite there yet, it is missing a lot of features, and since the author hasn't been active on the project (last commit: 2017) despite of many feature and pull requests asking for more features (in memory file download, camera configuration, chose one of the available cameras, etc.), I created the project gphoto2-rs which has a higher level API but implements all the features from libgphoto2.

Error while building: "perhaps two different versions of crate `image` are being used?"
It looks like the issue is with nokhwa. There are three open issues that reference the error: 72, 94 and 100. It looks like someone had luck switching from NV12 to YUYV after opening the stream but then I think you might end up with issue 90 where everything is pink so hyperbacked will infinitely loop waiting for an image since it can't actually read anything. The YUYV issue might have been fixed but the crate has been failing to build since the last release. That rules out setting the dependency to use the git repository. I think you just need to wait for a new release of nokhwa that fixes the issues but I don't know when that will be.

Rust and C
It is pretty painful and requires so much unsafe but I think the "not needing to deal with bindgen" and the Rust exclusive features make it worth it. If you need an example check out https://github.com/l1npengtul/nokhwa/tree/0.9.2/nokhwa-bindings-windows
- Nokhwa 0.4.3 - Webcam support for WebAssembly, MediaFoundation(Windows), AVFoundation(MacOS), and more!
