But I do wonder whether professional photographers (even Wedding togs accommodatiing crazy brides) direct-post in-camera jpeg's to Instagram or Facebook or Twitter.
Hm. I could imagine that some may do that... but more as a marketing thing. Like behind the scenes shots for their followers to drum up excitement or show that they are busy. "Having a great time shooting Mark and Sue's wedding" and then a more candid shot that may not find it's way into the final thing. I can totally see _some_ do that. Or perhaps photographers that shoot parties and events. Or when time is critical. "Oh my god! Obama just bitch slapped Putin!"
Might not be the thing that makes a pro buy the camera just cause of that feature, but would it hurt...? I'm of the opinion that if it is possible, it should be available. But I am of course aware that some people here want a much more focused product. A menu that lets users disable functions and the menu items for them would be great. i.e. you can turn off video (or change how many options are available, i.e. off, beginner, intermediate and pro), you can turn off WiFi, etc.
@GeneV: Makers of mirrorless systems are working on fixing that lens issue though. And if the market shifts towards mirrorless, even for pros, the companies that have a head start and have already built up experience and a nice lens lineup are at an advantage. Companies like Canon and Nikon will be the ones trying to catch up, and users will switch to brands that have established themself in the mirrorless arena.
