[QUOTE="aroy, post: 223429, member: 16090"] I agree that with a lot of computing power cameras are becoming smarter day by day. I would also like to capture moments just as I see them, with minimal twiddling of dials. I started with film more than 40 years ago. All of the film cameras I had used were fully manual, where you had to transfer the meter reading to the speed and aperture dials. The ISO was fixed.:grumpy: Depending on whether I needed the DOF or to shoot action I would set the speed/aperture combination. Now a days I mostly shoot with the Cell phone camera. It is excellent if the light is there, else it sucks. So what I would like a camera to have in today's highly computerized environment 1. High MP 2. Excellent low light capabilities 3. Modes - Sports for action - High DOF for general shots - Shallow DOF for portraits With these capabilities most of my photographic needs are satisfied. If Nokia had excellent low light performance in its 40MP camera, it would be all I need for 95% of the time. [/QUOTE]
