Weekend Musings: My ideal camera

by Veit on 09/27/2009

Olympus E-P1 @ iphonephotovideo.com iphone photo video iPod Touch itouch iCameraKeeping with the theme of the Good Enough Revolution (see Joe’s article about the future of imaging and mine about Canon gets it, Nikon only half-way as well as Steve Jobs, the Master of the Good Enough Revolution), here are my thoughs about a camera that I would consider good enough:

  • Size of the Olympus E-P1 or similar compact point and shoots, such as the Canon G11
  • 9-12 MP APS-C or micro-4/3 sensor
  • in-body image stabilization
  • inter-changeable lenses
  • RAW + JPG
  • 8+ fps JPG, 5 fps RAW
  • 720p video
  • full manual control
  • ISO 1600 or better
  • Flash hotshoe
  • Option to connect an external microphone for video

That’s it. In the spirit of good enough that would do it for me.
