    Dear Canon, please build me a camera with...

    Lets help Canon design the next camera. Here's what I would like:

    HIGH dynamic range and full-frame 20Mpx max (14 will do)

    1. Pixels that are more efficient at gathering light.
    2. Two holes on the base plate for the tripod adaptor, to stop the camera sliding down when you have it in portrait mode.
    3. A detachable and replaceable screen cover.
    4. Rubber cover on the base-plate to absorb shocks when you put the camera on a hard surface.
    5. Better docking system for memory cards. I know quite a few people who have damaged the pin contacts and had to have an expensive repair.
    6. Make cameras smaller.
    7. Better aesthetic look. Modern digital cameras are so ugly compared to some old film cameras.

    #1 is the most important. There really needs to be a big jump in sensor technology.

        Good idea – or even a LH grip. Or would that get too confusing?

              Good God, man. What the heck is 'geo-tagging'?

              And what exactly is a blackberry?

                Geo tagging documents your location on gps so when i take a picture on my blackberry (phone made by blackberry!) if i upload it to flickr they can place it instantly on a map of where i took it!

                  Look Rob, if I get lost in the Welsh hills my first thought is "thank God my wife can't find me!"

                  But thanks for the info.

                    Geo tagging means your wife will always know where you've been, but as long as you keep your blueberry in your trousers you should be fine.

                      Smaller cameras no good if you have big hands.

                          You been on the pop again? Getting your fruity phones mixed up like that - blackberry/blueberry. I suppose you are on Orange? You lemon!

                            I'm not too bothered about the wife finding me but I live in fear of her finding the receipts for my camera and lens.

                              a menu system that explains which colour space you need to use, how to process images, what lens you should buy next, how to take wedding photographs, and how not to take macro photographs where only a fag paper thickness is in focus, how to expose properly to reduce noise and when to sharpen an image in the workflow.....oh yes and how IS works


                              pls note - this is NOT serious - it is a light-hearted attempt at humour on a friday afternoon :-)
