oh heck, while we are having a pillow fight....
I'm doing a talk later this week about evolution of basic consumer
cameras from 1920 to date.
Who was the genius at Apple and Google that collectively decided that
smartphones will NOT HAVE:
- a tripod bushing to fit a standard tripod and every other
similar device made since.... dirt. like every other camera I
have ever owned or collected.
- a shutter button you can find.
- a eyelet for a wrist-strap to avoid dropping the darn thing
over a cliff while groping for the non-existent shutter button.
- some kind of little ridge for your fingers to help grip the
darn thing, like every other camera I have used in the last 20
years.
one has to wonder if these morons even spent 30 minutes at a camera
store before deciding how to make a smartphone.
regards as always.
