Missy Mwac came up with a list of suggestions for Canon and Nikon in her article featured on DIY Photography.
While some of her ideas are on the funny side I have to admit I would definitely like to see a few of these applied to my DSLR. Wouldn’t you?
WARMED HAND GRIPS
Let’s face it, shooting while wearing gloves is the pits. Those little dials and buttons with which we change camera settings do not respond well to fingers covered in cloth or leather. You try to change a setting and end up yanking the glove off with your teeth in frustration. Changing a camera setting while wearing gloves is like trying to pick up a dime with mittens on. And those fingerless gloves are about as useful as shorts in a snowstorm. Yeah, your palms are semi-warm while your fingers turn blue. This problem could easily be solved if the hand grip had a warming unit. Hey, if we can warm our car seats and our steering wheels and blankets, then why not our camera?
BUILT IN MP3 PLAYER
You’re in the middle of an on-location shoot and your client seems a little uncomfortable. Wouldn’t it be great to say, “Hey, let’s crank up some tunes on the ol’ DSLR!” For cameras with supported video, you could make a client music video all at the same time.
FACEBOOK APP AND VIDEO GAMES
Now, there are times at every wedding reception where things get a little boring. The wedding party is eating; you’ve photographed everything you can and are just standing around waiting for something to happen. It would be super nice if we could look at the display on the back of the camera and scroll through our Facebook newsfeed or play games. To the guests, we would simply be a photographer perusing his/her images, but in reality, we are watching cat videos or trying to get a high score in Candy Crush.
A CAMERA MANUAL THAT IS ALSO A POP-UP BOOK.
I don’t think this really needs explaining.
