No thanks.

Not for me.

I agree, connectivity is definitely a challenge for cameras, mainly but not only because they would need a lot more software/processing power and a keyboard (similar to smartphones).
They would need a better integrated operating system with a great user interface.
Samsung tried, Sony is pushing in this direction but it does not seem to be working.
Consumer still prefer their phones for social media.
In the mid-term I see connectivity to smartphones as the key for consumer DSLRs.

No thanks. I don't use any social media.

Obsolete already. Google+ no longer exists.

It's actually a light hearted read

Cameras will be there at some point. Panasonic CM1 Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 camera review this Samsung Samsung Galaxy Digital Camera Specs, US, India Price, Pictures were glimpses of the future.

Now we have the Zeiss ZX1 with LR built in.

It's only a matter of time before we shoot, edit with built in LR, and then upload to Instagram.....

Hmmm, just thinking about it again [I suppose many don't read the link before commenting] - the thoughts on making multiple contacts and gps tracking of the bride and groom could most likely be incorporated into a "wedding day" app and downloaded onto a phone. The other bits of facial recognition etc. would have to be built into the camera.

What I detest almost as much as social media and an allegiance/submission to social media, if being forced to pay for things I don't need or use. I already pay for video and Snapbridge and in some camera models, a useless popup flash. I'm all for choice and technology, but give me a choice too. And as I age the tiny little screens of a smartphone, ipad and dslr, to say nothing about the tiny little controls on all 3 are beyond my mature eyesight and finger dexterity.

The A.G.E virus now requires that I get some glasses for close work - like an old man!!!

The guy who arranged my glasses said that progressives are the way to go and it's usually just the 80 year olds with bi-focals who can't deal with them - then we proceeded to talk about how easily I get motion sickness and decided that progressives weren't for me - so I'm getting bi-focals ...... like an 80 year old!

“face detection” “smile detection” “blink detection” ”animal eye detection “ etc etc - to connect to social media and access all your contacts.
I’m hoping one of those “etc” turns into “fart detection”, this would be useful given some of the people I hang out with.

For the video mode?
