It's not enough that you can't tell whether that flake jabbering to themselves is insane or just phoning home, oh no!! Now you want photogs to keep a running dialogue with their devices, preferably with an AI in a belt-clipped micro supervising.
Photog: "Camera, I want the Andy Warhol effect on this shot."
Monitor: "I think a Hiro or Bert Stern mood would work better."
Flash: "Give me 20 seconds more to recharge; I'm pretty tired."
Camera: "Make up your minds; I gotta take a RAM dump soon."
Photog: "No, I really want a high-contrast litho-up-the-a$$ look."
2nd Body: "You guys never let me do anything. I've had it. I quit."
Or just a monologue / diatribe:
Photog: "Look at that butt! Tighter on the butt! Snap! Snap! Now up to the tits! Yeah, shoot continuous! Now those kids over there -- get'em jumping. Snap! Snap! Oh sh!t, here comes a bag lady. No, not her. Hey, that guy on the ledge -- is he gonna jump? Oh yeah! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Now close in on the splatter! Oh yeah! Snap! Snap!"
I don't want to talk to my camera. I don't want my camera to talk to me. I have enough problems already.
