I'd like to see a quieter shutter (and mirror). There are a number of situations where I have to put away the DSLR and shoot with a good point-and-shoot just to avoid disturbing other audience members. I guess I need to try a mirrorless micro 4/3rds.
I'm excited about a possible future of curved sensors, transparent sensors, full-resolution stills from video (especially shooting kids and sports), etc. But a lot of times all I really want added to my DSLR is more software options. I love how my old Canon S3 IS has a "Custom" setting that I can configure. I want about 5 "Custom" settings on my DSLR so I can quickly flip to my own set of preferences - ISO, metering mode, resolution, etc. - depending on the situation.
- roc 15y ago> "But a lot of times all I really want added to my DSLR is more software options" I'll second that. A set of user-definable presets, tap to focus, auto-HDR capture ... that would be so great. It's frankly frustrating that Canon, Nikon, et al can be so far behind $1 software on consumer smartphones.
- kevindication 15y agoCanon, Nikon, et al are making those cameras for photographers, not smartphone users. The interfaces may be alien to a newcomer but are really just power tools for working photographers.
- roc 15y agoI'm pretty sure even a "real" photographer would appreciate being able to change the focal point mode in less than 5 button presses through a 80s-era menu interface.
- sbalea 15y agoI'm not a "real" photographer but I do appreciate being able to change the focal point mode via a button and a wheel. Fortunately my (serious amateur level) DSLR camera provides this feature via programmable buttons.
- bostonvaulter2 15y agoI've heard of some alternate firmware for cameras. I even used it to automatically take a picture every 30 seconds when sending the camera on a weather balloon.
