1. Active, secure, live network connection
(What I've directly asked of Pentax)
Ability to establish a wireless link with a control or storage
device, or computer, in the field would be useful to some purposes.
Live network connection for general purpose communications is not
important for a camera.
2. GPS data stored
3. Compass data stored (directi0n pointed, 3-d)
Useful for scientific and military data collection. Unnecessary for
pictorial photography.
4. Automatic watermark or other security measure in-camera.
I'm not that paranoid.
5. Multiple processors -- 1 for image grabbing, one for
image
storage. Requires a multi-threaded OS -- Time for LINUX!
In essence, most of today's DSLRs have this already. They use several
real time processing logic units and an RTOS to run the exposure
system and shutter, read and process captured data, write it to
storage asynchronously without the heavy programming, power and other
requirements of a general purpose OS.
What would you like to see?
High resolution sensors with low noise, high quality lenses, fast and
accurate focusing systems, ergonomic controls, a high degree of
responsiveness, high quality viewfinders. In other words, a good
camera ... ;-)
