Wish I had thought of this
Saw this on Engadget and wished I had thought of it too:
Top Ten D700 features requested of The Mind of Minolta, er, Cranium of Canon, I mean... Noggin of Nikon:
10. Gapless microlenses to consist of even higher quality bubble wrap.
9. 'Red eye reduction' pre-flash should double as nifty non-lethal crowd/riot control feature.
8. In spite of inertial considerations must maintain frame rate at a sprightly 5,000 FPS (6,200 with optional grip).
7. Pentaprism should conform 1:1 to proven 'Cheops' optical dimensions.
6. Must include GPS geo-tagging feature for new easily misplaced 'pico-SD' memory cards.
5. Marketing's must adopt catch phrase: "This thing bitch slaps Fuji--big time."
4. New in-camera image stabilization must pass stringent 'rabid weasel-in-photographer's-shorts' test.
3. Logical sensor progression: APC > Full Frame > Hubble > Hypercollosal mega-sensor the size of our sun > D700-x.
2. Camera's light gathering ability should be enhanced by self-sustaining black hole (optional tera-meter cable release required to avoid potential event horizon hi-jinks.)
1. Camera's 'buzz' must finally change photographer's age-old mantra of "F8 and be there" to "F' it--come to Papa!"
