Originally posted by grahamcoad Flip screens, built in Wi-Fi, NFC etc....these are all gimmicks copied from cheap compact cameras for adding to lower level DSLR cameras, not top end serious models.
So, top end serious models should be less capable cameras then entry level cameras? I don't understand.
Good wifi/nfc can be a very "pro"-feature. I sometimes set my camera to transfer the image data to my assistants laptop for review and/or PP on the spot. Reviewing the final results during the shooting makes some customers very happy. Imagine
trying to do that with the flucard.
As for flippy screens. Once upon a time I was still shooting Pentax and struggling with an impossible angle. Untill the customer stepped in with his P&S with flippy screen and said:
"Hang on I'll do it...". I learned from that moment.
