Cheers!

I would like to have a camera that speak to you, the camera say
'Hello, I am bored, take me out for some awesome photo shoot please~!'
;D

i was going to say a retina scanner, but read through and it was already taken (doh)

so instead i will say adobe photoshop inside cameras, and therefore u can edit on the go......

we are half way there already, with all the sort of editing available on smartphones....

also on the flip side, would be good to have 3g in cameras, imagin controlling ur camera through the internet.....!!!!

I find it irritating that the lens must be connected to the camera body and there is also the issue of dust. Thus, I want a wireless lens. The camera can go in my pocket (please make it small) and the I can carry the lens and point it at the subject looking through it like a telescope.

the ability to leather firefrom my ipad With focus and setting control of course.

I would like to see a billion ISO, with acceptable noise so I can live without a flash and just enjoy candid day and NIGHT.

The addition of a small battery pack that keeps the Camera and lens warm in the cold of winter! I really get tired of running the extension cord from my house to the local park and using heat tape.

I want a camera the size of a micro four-thirds, with a full-frame sensor. It should, of course, have as a tack-sharp 14-400mm f/1.0 kit lens that's light and easilly pocketable. Like that new "light field" technology that's been shown around, you could change the focus of the picture after you've taken it.

Its sensor should have practically no noise and such an amazing dynamic range that you could just change your iso in post production. Shooting RAW, you'd just take your picture, and it would have details in the darkest of shadows and the brightest of highlights. You would decide later what iso the picture should be at (much like you can choose your white balance after the fact).

I'm thinking two different things:

1. Built-in Hipstamatic and/or Instagram filters to the 5D and 1D lines
2. An iPhone attachment that allows you to take pictures on your iPhone through your camera lens.

Thanks! I hope to see those implemented soon!

2. An iPhone attachment that allows you to take pictures on your iPhone through your camera lens.

This can already be done. Search the forum to find the thread

 

[christian niclas]

a DSLR where you can buy a new and better sensor some year's after release and replace the old. You also have to be able to chance the AF system when a new one is available

 

[RiverCityGirl]

An "idiot" alert (beep or such) to alert the user that the lens cap is on!

 

[negora]

I don't envy you for having to read all these most certainly wonderful ideas. It would be nice to see a top 10 at the end!

As for what I would like to see, in DSLRs in general, is a DBP (or a Dust-bunny Preventer). Forget shaking the sensor, it simply doesn't work.

What I propose is a hardware based solution: a simple sliding curtain with a sliding knob that one slides in place before taking the lens off, and slides it back off when the new lens is attached. A very crude schema is attached.

Make the articulated screen extend a little further out (maybe even be detachable) so that it can face forward for your subjects to see. Then, you could display a boring 3,2,1 countdown or have downloadable "funny faces" that can be displayed to make the subjects smile. It might also be usable as a small teleprompter.

Here's one for all the photographers who appreciate the true art of spot coloring

Add an eye recognition feature so that when you look through the viewfinder, the camera detects what you're looking at when the photo is taken and will retain the color of that portion of the image while desaturating everything else.

To make it even cooler, there could be a custom function to select what color to make that part of the image where the photographer want to keep in color.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Built-in Hover-mode (Hv on the mode dial)

Perfect for all those times you're at a press conference, concert or breaking-news event but you're a chronic late-sleeper, have dubious press credentials you bought in the alley, or otherwise always find yourself at the back of the crowd of real photographers and can't see beans let alone be able to get a good shot.

Collapsible rotors hidden inside the pentaprism pop up* on demand and fly your camera to the front of the crowd, hovering there to get you the best view. (*remember to detach your Speedlite before setting Hv mode)

The included iPhone app lets you remotely fly the hover cam, see a live-view image on the iPhone screen, control exposure and take photos from the comfort of your back row seat.

Not recommended for use during lightning storms or hurricane-force winds.

* DOF reading will be really nice
* a flashlite that could split and transform into a twin flash
* detachable LCD viewer

any one of the above would be nice

Firmware that accepts plug-ins. Open a Canon Apps store where for $1 you can download a plug-in which, for example:

- enables AEB in 7 or 9 exposures,
-or sets different limits on auto ISO
-or perhaps give new video capabilities,
-or perhaps Noise Ninja or Neat Image or Topaz noise reduction plug-ins
-or in camera HDR
-or ISO expansion to ISO 25 or 200,000,

Make the source code available to developers, (or open source)
then find out what new capabilities third party developers can dream up...

Then you can truly pick the features you want.
