LinkaCam supports Canon cameras only because I don't have other brands. If you wish to help expand support to other brands like Nikon or Sony, please consider donating and specify your preferred brand.
You can use any model with tool-calling capabilities from Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI to remotely operate the camera using natural language (with text/speech). Local models such as Qwen and Llama might also be compatible, though they have not been thoroughly tested.
