Maybe, just maybe, the AI bots have informed those that are listening that the future markets as well as todays markets are more geared towards phone cams...( Please, lets not get the crazies going with more comparisons ). I am betting on MY i and dropping the phone moniker... about time !

Would be a smart move to put some Android OS into a camera and give it phone manipulation features as well as far faster transfer rates perhaps.
It would make sense to those who grew up with cell phones, allow greater editing and other phone features.
And perhaps full cell capabilities.

I am indifferent. Most cameras are fine the way they are. Adding more to a phone is going to confuse most people. Besides the manual being impossible to read, the learning curve would be way past Saturn. I truly think that the major camera companies should make and price their cameras to be affordable with the general public.
making them affordable is a catch-22. People want more and more function and seemingly bigger pixels and sales verifies this. No way that will make them affordable. OTOH, there are affordable, or at least cheaper, but sadly lack the quality. You want high quality and cheap? :)

I suspect Canon is concerned that Sony, which produces a cell phone, could easily migrate advanced cell phone processing features into their cameras. Canon wants to be able to respond to such a move.

That is a pretty thoughtful thought... Thanks

Hell if I know or even care, just what we need next, a mirror less camera/phone so we can jabber while taking photos.

There is a whole other current UHH thread on T&C Northrup predicting that Sony will do exactly that and destroy Canon. I have no idea if that is or could ever be true, but folks are talking about it.
Cheers and best to you.

Simuler to trying to add $$$stuff to a 6 cylinder engine to make it as fast and powerful as a V8.
I finally dumped it an put in a REAL V8.

Judging by what our future leaders are doing... it seems plausible; of course the AI bots will be censoring and altering any offensive talk. ( Kind of like self-correct )

Mentone is just up the road a couple miles... Old Mentone Grand Hotel burned down a year or so ago... So tragic.

I do believe there will be a market for a High Performance Smartphone/Pro leaning Camera combination.
Possibly a Pancake Lenses.
Remember, Smartphones ALREADY have GPS, Communications links, GPU,
Processing.
Comments?
