> Are there any cameras out there that output real raw data from the senors?
I suspect not, because the data output rate from a high end sensor can easily be 32 Gbps, and I don't think any phones have fast enough flash storage to write data at 32Gbps.
You have to process the data in mostly-realtime or lose the data. Storing it isn't an option.
Full sized cameras do use a buffer to deal with burst activity, take series if shots - process - save to slower storage. Also, modern cameras start switching to CFexpress/SDExpress (which are NVMe)
