Does anybody have an answer?
"sambarluc" wrote in message
... Reading all the mess about DP2, and expectations on Olympus, and the dissatisfaction of many (or at least me) with the building philosophy of present day digital cameras, I came up with a thought. Camera world seems a bit like the world of computing these days. Companies sell always new, more powerful hardware to stay up to date with new and more demanding software, which in fact very seldom improves user experience. At least for software there's the open source community, much more sensitive to a minimalist/high productivity approach, but what about cameras? I have a silly idea: a modular camera, that you can build on your needs like a PC. You don't buy the 73rd autofocus point, if you don't need it. You don't buy smile detection if you only use Av. You can keep it simple and lightweight, or make it look like (Concise) Oxford dictionary, with as many functions as MS Word. If cameras and electronics have to merge, why not going all the way? A bit like Leica a la carte, but less stupidly useless. Now, why nobody came up with something like this? Why something like this exists for medium format but not for more compact formats? Shall I found a new company? ;-) Hey, anybody from Canon or Nikon listening? I would really like to have a serious answer. Andrea It isn't cheap. http://www.red.com/ -- N |
