I'd like to see some simple things (Canon user, btw):
- I use the option with focus button (*) and the shutter button (the big one on top) are separate. I don't understand why the (*) button has to be sooo small and why it couldn't be more ergo in placement and shape.
- I have an old slr/c where just about everything you need is external. Including MLU. Very old school but simple and practical. Let's see more of this.
- While on the slr/c, it has a long exposure mode that produces amazing results even by today's standards. It basically takes many frames and dark channel subtracts them. The downside of it is it's difficult to use in many situations (10 year old technology) . I don't see why this hasn't been copied and improved?
- Finally, I always thought a custom reset feature, something that puts the camera into a predefined settings position, would be nice.

Canon allows all manner of other things to be put on custom buttons, but not MLU. That's definitely stooopid.
Nikon had a very useful shake-reduction system called BSS (Best Shot Selector) in some of the Coolpixen: It could take up to 10 pictures in a row and choose the least shaken one (or at least be pretty good about it). It was like having IS for static subjects, and it would combine well with actual IS. It doesn't seem to have made it into current Coolpixen, let alone SLRs. Maybe i should look into making a Lightroom export for this
The placement of the ISO button on the 450D - 550D is really awkward.
