Should I use the Camera2 API to do the basic functions of a camera (take picture, video), and use the SCamera SDK to supplement those features (HDR, low light, etc.)?
I'm developing for a Galaxy S6, and S5 only.

Samsung Camera SDK mimics official Camera2 API so you should be able to implement all features you need using only Samsung Camera SDK. If you aim only S6 and S5 devices I think that you can safely use Samsung SDK only. – user1991679 Jul 28 '16 at 13:37

I'm using the Samsung Camera SDK, because I had several troubles on Samsung devices, by using the standard Android Camera 2 API. Which includes the:
- Focus Area
- Metering Area

!The SDK requires Android 5.0 Lollipop!
