> Well first of all, there are things that can be done in camera better than they can be done in post in any reasonable amount of time. Image stacking is one of those, since alignment even with the best software is spotty, and cameras could include fairly robust accelerometers to do a bunch of the work in the background. There's also currently no depth info in DSLR images, so image processing involving depth of field isn't going to work unless you do the work by hand, which is quite laborious. In addition, it would be very nice if HDR pictures could be taken by my full-frame camera. I don't necessarily want or need to deal with bracketing in lightroom just to get an extra couple stops of dynamic range. > You're right that the best image stabilization is opto-mechanical, but it would be very nice to have access to digital image stabilization as well as in-body and in-lens stabilization. Again, a decent accelerometer can go a long way. > Honestly, most of what I'd like to see has involved image stacking in one form or another. Digital ND filters are the same idea. > And don't get me started on ergonomics and usability. I definitely picked the worst camera brand in terms of user interface (sony), but all the DSLRs and mirrorless cameras I've touched are noticably lacking in that department. I don't necessarily need a giant phone screen like my S9+, but I would expect a device costing $2000+ to at least have a fairly high resolution OLED panel on the back of it with solid touch controls. Meanwhile touch controls are distinctly lacking in any camera I've tried. > Software is important too! I would like to see a panorama mode also vs firing up stitcher applications. All these should be basic firmware upgrades tbh even on the older models. Features available on a CoolPix entry level camera should not be missing from prosumer DSLRs.
