Depressed Cheesecake Mode button, in-camera, in every point and shoot, complete with DRV (Digital Retro Vignetting) and a healthy dose of USM in unprocessed raw files.

Video mode for my SLR. Can't be too hard, now that we've got live view cameras.

A film advance lever that does nothing but feel good. Also aperture rings on lenses again.

But seriously, built in Eye-Fi type thing would be pretty neat.

An SLR's sensor is a bit of a waste for a video camera. CMOS sensors aren't as good as CCD for shuttering either, making them less (theoretically) able sensors for such purposes, at least not dedicated.

Oh, fuck yeah, film-cocking levers.

What's that Eye-fi thing you mention?

OP here again.
I would also like a money generator. However, if it was on my camera it might get in the way. I'd rather have a shutter speed dial on the top of my camera that had a small display built in so that it could be used for other things too. Like a round OLED that showed you shutter speeds in one mode, or showed you A, P or M when you change it to mode select. Really it would be nice if every button on my future camera could be mapped to do anything I want.

Basically it's a wifi SD card that transfers photos from your camera to your PC or uploads them to sites like Flickr. Could be pretty awesome to expand it into wireless tethering too.

My camera? I dont even expect it to exist in 5 years, dropped off a cliff or something stupid like this.

Anyway, id like a medium level pro body for action shooting (sports, etc) full weathersealing and 10+ fps continious.

Inbuilt GPS locating and auto inclusion in the EXIF (sony can already do this, just build it in!)

White zooms.

Ditch the mirror box. M-mount camera, rangefinder with attachable EVF for TTL work. Available with it, and there's framelines for it in the finder, are ~43mm and ~90mm equivalent lenses.

For this camera, a very quiet classic style cloth shutter. *Optional* manual cocking of the shutter with a lever, but automatic is there, too.

Lenses available both for focal plane and in-camera leaf shutters.

Weathersealing on all digital bodies.

Better viewfinders, 100% for everything.

Swivel LCD screens.

Articulating pop-up flashes; Panasonic did two cameras with this years ago and then dropped it.

A normal or moderate wide prime with a 50/1.x coming as the kit for every camera.

Maitani comes out of retirement.

Quieter mirrors.
Bigger viewfinder.
Slightly more intuitive menus.
Flip screen with Live View (for waist-level shots).

Other than that I'm pretty happy with my camera.

I laughed. I thought that cameras were cock stand-ins, not vag stand-ins.

Lenses are cock stand-ins. Lens caps are condoms.
The camera is a woman's groin stand in. The mount is the hole. The photographer is a stand in for the rest of the woman.
The scene is a stand-in for the man.
The light is a stand-in for semen.
The shutter is a stand-in for a sponge, IUD, etc.
The film or sensor is a stand-in for the egg.

Large format digital, so we can extend pointless arguments about digital versus film to the view-camera people

The 5000+ shots I've done are no stand-in for the sex I haven't had.

Who cares about cameras, I want LENSES.

A 24mm f/1,4, at a reasonable price. A fast zoom. A fast prime with VR.
