We wanna this camera!!

Customers decide,not industry!

We want this camera:

Camera for Normal and wide photo;camera with 7/8 mpxl with a
24-28/120-140 lens f3,5-5 but without noise or horrible algorythm

Camera for telezoom photo: with 35-38/350-380 mm lens with 6 mgpxl in
sensor 1/1,8or1/17" with F3,5-4,8 but without noise or horryble
algorythm

If you want subscribe...
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

Don't forget:
- flash hot shoe (ISO, not proprietary)
- tripod hole below the sensor center
- AA batteries
- filter screw
- standard mechanical cable release (cheaper than a remote, from the
producer point of view)

<dream>
And this: http://www.picotux.com/ or this:
http://www.gumstix.com/waysmalls.html to automatically upload photos to
flickr (or to serve them on the Web directly from the camera).
</dream>

I think you can create an online petition about this "optimal" camera.

Why do I f**ing need a "flash hot shoe" ? Every second poster seem to
lament why do the modern compact P&S cameras not have a flash shoe. As
for me, I never use external or inbuilt flash. I am not a professional
photographer who beautifies the reality and makes money out of it. I
am an amateaur who shoots the scenery as it is and wants to be
inconspscious at the social gatherings. I am carrying the P&S camera
in my pants' pocket. There is simply no space for an external
flash ! ... never will ! If you old farts need a camera with a "hot
flash shoe", then get yer hands off the P&S cameras ! Get yourself a
dSLR, and screw it your your life's content with and without flash !

 

If your ideal camera is one that specifically does not have a hot shoe
then perhaps you'd care to share with us what features _you_ would
want in an ideal camera instead of just insulting people for the Hell
of it?

 

I dunno. I find TTL flashes to give much better results than generic auto
flashes.

AFAIK, no digital camera has this, though several do have a propritary cable
release, and others have an infrared cable release.

 

In other words, you like red-eyes in people and green-eyes in dogs and cats.
To each their own.

 

My "kill file" isn't half full!

 

Congratulations from doing the best impersonation of a dimwit that
I've seen in a good long time. Hint: built-in flashes rarely
beautify anything. That's one of the big reasons why many P&S
owners looking to upgrade to better P&S cameras often place hotshoes
near the top of the list when comparing features.

Now that's completely unbelievable, that *you* could possibly be
inconspscious(sic) at social gatherings. Even sealing your mouth
with DuckTape would blow your incognito, but at least it might help
to protect your credibility for at least several more minutes. In
other words, to maintain a respectable appearance at social
gatherings, you'd have to be silently unsocialble. <g>

And thank you for not saying "I am an armature", even though it
would have little bearing in this discussion! (p.a.)

 

I own a Panasonic LX1, and I eagerly await Sigma DP1. In other words,
I want a pocketable P&S with an APS-C sized sensor. I want a low
noise, capability to reproduce contrast areas and the bunch of other
things associated with a big sensor.

 

The hot-shoe is not just a flash contact, but also a way to add gizmos
to a camera.
I guess many macro lovers would find this one useful to control shades
and lights:

While a bubble level is a must for "stitchers":

Well, I think nowadays it would be cheaper to make an IR remote than to
drill a precise hole ;-)
I remember many years ago there were mechanical timers like this one:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...ls&Q=&sku=63958&is=REG&addedTroughType=search
to control long exposures (in the range of minutes or hours) and
timelapse shootings.
Today this would require just some lines of code into the firmware, so I
don't see why it must be limited to "pro" cameras.

So you'll put up with a slow fixed focal length lens to get an APS-C
sensor?

 

Personally, I'd wait to see how that DP1 performs before I'd "eagerly
await" it.
The pocketability comes at the expense of the lens: a 16mm (28mm
equiv) f/4 lens. To me, that puts it in the category of a P&S used for
snapshots. My FX-01 does that, is smaller, and has a lens that's far
more versatile. (Not that I'm trying to sell any FX-01s)
Since that sensor isn't available in a camera yet, we'll have to wait
and see how it actually works.

Rudy Giuliani began seeking

pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control
and he did a skit in drag that

bin Laden hadn't attacked him
Pat Robertson would have.

 

No you don't.

All you need is $10,000,000 and you can go ahead and have it built for
you. If you really want it bad enough.

 

The Fuji S2 would take a standard mechanical cable release. Dunno about
the S3 or S5, but I had the S2 for several years.
