This really sucks. I just want something simple that I can pull up to
my eye and then throw the photos out on the web when I get home. But
all I see is chimp-approved plastic junk with smile recognition. WTF
happened to cameras? Am I the only person in the whole wide world
that doesn't want a zillion worthless features at the expense of
something functional?
Most of those features are purely software, so don't add anything to
production cost.
Software writers work for free?
No wonder I hammer nails for a living.
Well, they can re-use basically the same code on lots of different
cameras, and when you work out the cost per camera it almost *is* free.
What also wouldn't cost a lot more would be to have a feature which
disabled all the other "features" so that we purists could also enjoy
the camera. Perhaps some manufacturer will implement this someday...
