What I think about digital camera's
When I use a digital camera, I just want to take a picture. When I use a cell phone, I just want to make or receive a call. Why do things have to be so complicated? People who are too dumb to organize their digital pictures shouldn't own a camera, or a computer for that matter, to begin with. But I'm getting too old for all of those unnecessary buttons. Who's fingers were they designed for anyway? And I don't like having to pull out my reading glasses just to make a phone call or to take a picture. It seems that the designers of these devices care more about impressing us with fancy features, than they do about the functionality of their products. Digital zoom is a good example of that. Having said these things I'll also add that I'm not against technology, but some of these features should be reserved for high-end equipment only. So in general Brad, I would have to disagree with you about adding another unnecessary feature.
