In europe management is considered more important. Its all bullshit indeed.

If they design cameras from the users perspective and expectations there is still a lot of room to take on phones.

I just want to shoot, possibly edit, publish the images on my server and have some api to make the appropriate database entries.

In stead I have to hook up the cam over usb then pretend it is a slow drive??? Oh and the battery is draining while doing this??? Some models have replaceable batteries that you have to remove to charge???? As a hard drive it scores 0/10

I have to start up an editor, find the right image, load it and find a folder to store the edit???? what nonsens workflow!

Iphones let you shoot the images straight into the upload dialogue.. but its not using the wonderful hacks the photo app offers.

Maybe camera makers should just make a frankenphone the size of a brick with a few TB of storage, automatic wifi connectivity (with more options so that one never has to look at it), a week worth of battery. The extra weight helps making sharper images and probably a cloud account with a list of highly configurable API's

Ill be as weird as to suggest website names could have physical buttons on the top so that one can shoot things straight onto facebook and press delete later.
