I've basically given up on whole DSLR thing after investing in it too much precisely because of this sorry state of their software. My phone camera that is 10X lighter in weight and size has far many more features I need than these stupid DSLR firmwares. Yes, quality isn't that great if you are one of those pixel-level scrutinizer but you can't beat getting 240-FPS video or 270-degree panoramas so effortlessly. The only reason crappy DSLR firmwares are surviving is because they offer lots of low level knobs that people with huge amount of patience and time can put to some good use.
I have never understood why giants like Cannon and Nikon can't match feature set, ease of use etc from smartphones. In many ways this is playing out like it did with Kodak where they set on their traditional things for so long that there was ultimately no point of return.
