1. Burst caching.
Buffers a burst and only writes it to card with a full shutter press. Olympus, Fuji and Panasonic offer it.
2. Shrink and send an image to your social media account direct from the camera.
This is Thom Hogan's idea.
I see some bird shooters capture a rarity and post it by taking a smartphone image of the monitor. The IQ is of course poor.
It might do something to slow the decline of digital cameras as smartphone shooting has become the norm.
3. Control and backup the camera settings with a smartphone app.
Also Thom Hogan's idea.
It's not easy to cram the increasing number of settings with explanatory notes on a small camera monitor. And driving different models and brands tests the memory.
4. Use a linked smartphone app for a real-time DOF overlay. Of course it could be done on the camera monitor as well.
5. More in-camera processing options.
It's not an appealing thing to many shooters to get their captures and then have to retire to a room with computer to process it before they can publish it. It's in substance no different from what we were doing a hundred years ago.
The Zeiss ZX1 has LR built in. More machine-rule processing isn't hard to envisage. We already have a range of optical corrections done automatically along with options for NR, sharpening, colour shifts, film emulations and the like.
6. In-camera focus stacking.
That's well developed in eg. Panasonic and it's dead easy but the FF players don't show much interest. It's a game changer for macro shooters.
What else?
