It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

I like Thom Hogan's idea: making them integrated with Facetwit and other sites. That's why cell phone cameras are successful: they don't require that middle step, the computer. They make it simple: straight from camera to web. Most consumers don't care about image quality, they care about sharing their photos. Cell phones make that much easier than compacts. I really wish Apple would make a camera, because they would do it right

I use an Iphone, but I don't thing I've taken more than half a dozen photos with it. Couple of years ago, I was looking for a new cell phone - all I wanted was a basic phone, no camera, not nothing, but the salesman said "They all have cameras!" I told him I had $6K worth of camera equipment, I didn't need a phone to take lousy pictures.

As someone who uses Olympus cameras, and was for several years an "Olympus Visionary," all I can say is that while the ad is hilarious, it shows how utterly out of touch with reality Olympus has become. For the past year my wife and I have been receiving still photos and videos, several times a week, of our first grand daughter - and virtually all of the images are shot on an iPhone. And by the way, my son has a full-time job- with benefits - as a skateboard photographer.
The world has changed.

Hint to Olympus: if your photos are "rubbish" it's probably not the fault of the cameraphone.
It's too bad, they could have really emphasized some of the advantages that a dedicated camera has over a cell phone (more control, faster shutter speeds, larger sensors, better lenses, etc.). Or they could have teamed with an existing phone manufacturer and helped develop a better camera phone. Instead, this. Sigh.
Keep in mind, we're dealing with an industry that is still trying to sell us on PictBridge ...

That's exactly the right strategy. I think all the camera companies' bread and butter is the digicam market (even Nikon and Canon, although I am not so sure about that). They should take a good hard look at Kodak. See what happens when you choose to ignore the tiger, rather than riding it?

Haha, I like it. Good points.
Does anyone ever use that? Do the camera companies really think people do? I can't believe they haven't figured it out yet. Why can't they figure out that the majority of photogs want real features? Here's one way to think of it: Pictbridge actually helps you take worse photos, because it skips post processing, which usually makes a photo better . Maybe we should start a dgrin camera company... let's see, how do you make a sensor?... No, we'll just get some from Sony. Built-in wifi for sure, internet browsing, a version of dgrin for cameras, and let's use Thom Hogan's OK (Open Kamera) operating system. Now... the mirror could be transplanted from a Canon or Nikon... same with the shutter...
It remains that some camera-systems are much more suited for some tasks than others.
Just because you "can", doesn't mean that you "should".

Don't forget the image editor, who performed background removal and background extension and skin and color correction and color grading and stray hair removal and white and black point settings, and ...
