Yep ^ ^ ^



Yep ^ ^ ^ ...also less trading up as owners realize that their cameras are more capable than they are and that buying again is throwing good money after bad.*



Indeed. I have done good work with my phone cam, mostly because it is what I had with me, but will add that the captures, while quite good, are rather brittle in PP and limited to what can be done with what is essentially a wide-angle prime.

* A good example might be the recurring story of K-30/K-50 owners who discover that the camera they have used two or three times in five years has developed aperture control issues.

I do believe you are correct, mostly because the lack of such doesn't cause pain for most people.



My question as well. What does the lack or deficiency of these few features have to do with dSLRs specifically when the only camera equipped devices that have them are phones and tablets. Me thinks that this thread probably did not warrant comment (is immensely silly beyond the usual "the SLR is dead" chants) and I regret my participation. :o

Strangely, I don't expect my camera to do any of those things. In short:
  • I swap batteries out when they are low so I can keep working and wish I had similar options for my phone

  • My camera's primary task is not to be a network host. Wi-fi capabilities are a gee whiz feature. (I don't see what Samba has to do with anything.) I don't expect my primary workstation to take photos, why should I expect my camera to network?

What is the saying; Horses for courses"? I pretty much eschew multi-purpose devices. My printer prints. My scanners scan. All-in-ones typically suck at both. I don't haul gravel with my Nissan coupe and I don't test the cornering of my pickup truck. I don't wash dishes in my oven nor do I expect my vacuum cleaner to double as a carpet shampooer.
