Quote:Because there are so many parameters to control. Less buttons means less parameters means less control.
- Why all those buttons?
However, try the Canon DSLRs with touchscreen. They have touchscreen done "right", and you don't "need" the buttons anymore.
Quote:Speech recognition is an odd way to control things. Others can hear you. It is slow.
- Cameras are beeping, but why can't I tell them what I want?
Quote:Turning the camera is fast and intuitive (unless when on tripod)... Turning the sensor is yet another control button?
- Why do I have to turn the camera from landscape to portrait instead of turning only the sensor?
Quote:Because cameras can't know the exact behavior of the lens motor and electronics. Cameras don't know step sizes.
- Why is there no camera able doing the focus adjustment with their own LiveView?
Quote:Remote view finder is handy at times. Just like swivel LCD displays are handy at times. Having a remote trigger + live view just is a nice tool.
- Do we still need tripod screws instead a quick mount, or maybe both?
- Why is WLAN and wireless LiveView such a big deal these days?
Quote:Why would you want to remove the display?
- Why is nobody doing a removable display?
Quote:Because AF is not that controllable (every lens behaves differently). I can see how one would design a dedicated lens for a certain body for that, though, where the photographer tells the camera the step distance between shots.
- Why is no camera manufacturer able to do focus stacking for macro right in the cam?
Quote:Has been tried twice. Problem: one does not just need a sensor (doable), but also battery, memory, computer, controls (problematic). And nowadays, what would it add to the DSLR landscape?
- How difficult is it to focus on two different distances and the camera calculates it's DoF (I know, DoF is more or less an illusion...)?
- How about somebody manufactured a sensor for all the old and good analogue bodies?
Quote:One or two manufacturers actually are researching into that area.
- Or make the sensors interchangeable? I would like to have a Foveon in my Nikon B) for landscape, or a high ISO type for lowlight. Of course, I can buy myself into coma with bodies, but the I expect them to walk for themselves and not being carried by my poor back... :wacko:
