Do people really feel like its geotagging and wifi thats holding the market back? To me its just a lack of exposure (no pun intended) to what a camera can do for you among the general class of consumers. knowledge of shutter speed, aperture, metering the scene used to be required to take a photo at all, now its a black box where even if you know what this means your phone doesn't let you at the controls. On top of that consider a prosumer camera. Mine from 10 years ago takes 34mb raws. new ones probably double or triple that. SD card transfers to your workstation make quick work of that, much faster than piddly old wifi or the backing up to cloud services I see mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Imagine uploading 16gb to dropbox while out and about, the camera would never shut off.

Geotagging is a real bummer, I took a trip to Italy years ago and brought an SLR and I wish those photos were geotagged. "Piddly old wifi" is part of the problem, it's certainly what I'd expect camera vendors to support. You can push multiple gigabits over a good wifi connection these days. If any camera companies are reading this, you probably read "I wish my camera came with a purpose-built app specific to your brand of cameras manufactured in 2024 (to be EOLed and replaced by a different app next year) and reimplementing an entire photo library with sync to your own subscription services because your manager says you need subscription revenue," but no I'd just like it to join my house's wifi network and give me a button on the computer to copy the files to a folder or add them to my Photos library.
