Your Ideal Digital Camera |

The other day I mentioned a cool new product being developed by Eye-Fi, which puts wireless capability in any digital camera via the media card. So it got me thinking, what would I look for in the ideal digital camera? How would I design it if I were in charge? What gadgets and features would I opt for? So I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject - lets hear all about the crazy and awesome ideas you've got for the digital cameras of the future.In the meantime, I'll kick it off with my wild and crazy ideas.
- Touch screen (this isn't new, but I'd include it on mine, so the entire back of the camera could be screen)
- Notation capabilities (my Pentax allows me to record voice notes to each picture - I'd love to be able to name, tag, categorize them on the fly as I take them. And I want my computer to recognize those bits of information when the photo is downloaded)
- WiFi (like the Eye-Fi, and some of the newer cameras, I want to download my pictures wirelessly to a WiFi-enabled drive in my pack, or my computer at my desk. No more lost usb cables...)
Ok, so it's not an extensive list, but it gets the ball rolling. Now you.

Cause I love wide angle.
Also maybe a smaller body, Even the D50 is quite large to carry around, And CHEAPER LENSES (somehow).
other than that I would take almost any DSLR on the market.

THen my thoughts..:
Sensor: something like a Foveon full-colour full-frame but with "only" 3x6 MP to keep noise down
Viewfinder as big as on the 5D
Small LCD to keep battery drain low
Real-time display AND SLR architecture
In-Camera HDR mode (plus bracket shooting)
Wi-Fi
Sensor cleaning function
removable IR filter
usable ISO 800 (I meant: USABLE
Some esotheric in-camera image-stabilization that works
And while we are at it: I'd love a sensor with photocells that can expose on their own (each photocell/a group of photocells-have the camera find out which cells make up the tree, which ones its shadow and which the sky etc)
