There are things I like and things I dislike about every single camera. The things I dislike I used to assume were a waste. But a small vocal group of enthusiasts can hardly be a bellwether for what the other 99.9% of camera buyers want or seek in a camera.
I'm fairly certain that every one of these camera companies (the ones that we think are making boneheaded moves) has a group of smart, educated people (and trained in their specific field of finding out what customers want and the best way to deliver it to them) and I'm sure they act in the best interest of their companies because that is how they keep their jobs.
So while I have no use for GPS modules, and Jocko has no use for the ability to change lenses, and John has no use for a blue camera and Nic wanted one with more modern controls and RubySusan wants one that will more easily bracket exposures (one of the reasons I sold off a few cameras myself) and on and on, the camera makers can really only try to give use 10-15 different models each year to try to cover thousands of different possible combinations of wants and desires.
So with all of our disparate wants, it's no wonder we've got the camera companies Chasing rabbits, pullin' out their hair and howlin' at the moon (I prefer Hank Williams to Ginsberg)
