Given that the OpenCV ViceoCapture API is so hit and miss (only way to count cameras is to suck it and see, no way to query if a camera property is supported, no way to discover the parameters value range, ...) what do other people use if they want do things like exposure control (for HDR) and the like?
I'm using python under windows for prototyping and will eventually targeting PC and android (so will eventually be coding in either C# or C++)
