Do You Wish Sony Had In Camera Processing?

Yes, something I really miss from my X-T20. The jpegs start off really great, but the ability to adjust highlights, shadows, and change the film sim on each shot is something greater. Sometimes I need/want to share a photo with someone quickly, and that in camera process just made things much easier than transferring to phone and editing in something like snapseed before transmitting out.
 
Definitely Yes to this option with adjustable JPG output quality.

A lot of times I wanted to share the photos that I took for friends and family right at the spot at the moment, without needing to drive home, import the photos, re-touch and then send them the photos. Many photos are time-sensitive and could lose interest gradually when the time passes. My current solution is to shoot RAW+JPG but it's not the most efficient way to do since the SD cards get filled up much quicker.
 
I say yes, why not. Maybe do HDR jpegs while keeping the RAW images.

OR improve the PlayMemories app, so that the camera can do a better job of sending images to the phone and process from Play memories. Is there a way to tether, so that all images are sent to the phone automatically?

I had the Qx10, and the app was atrocious then, so I havent tried the app much since.

While I welcome every meaningful feature added to a consumer goods...I wouldn´t compromise on performance if the processing (editing/sharing) "eats up" the camera´s capacity for AF calculations, metering, fps, buffering or anything that could have been improved by using that "horsepower".

Even adding a dedicated SoC for this would make me think of other computational photography uses related to image capture (stacking, stabilisation, movement prediction, motion stills, subject recognition, etc) instead of "on-the-go" image editing/sharing.

Generally I don't prefer in camera RAW to JPEG processing. But I do wish one processing that has a built-in focus stacking and in camera it generates merged RAW either ARW or Adobe DNG format.

Good in theory but how are you going to quickly move multiple 42mb files?

I couldn't care less if I can edit on my camera or not. Id rather have a super quick way to export RAW to a smartphone so we can just edit on that.

USB-C straight to their phone?

Or maybe if it has better wifi protocols. You dont need to export your entire library. I edited in Lightroom CC on a phone, it was cancerously slow. But if i would only export maybe 1-2 pictures onto my phone just to post to instagram so its good enough. Nobody should expect to use as phone as part of their actual workflow.
 
Absolutely yes, the option is great to have with the Fuji cameras.

I especially want it with my A9 since I cannot record both RAW and Extra Fine JPEG.

There are times where I would love to be able to just output a JPEG and share it without having to process through Lightroom first.
 
? I used it to process my raw files, through image review, then saved when I liked the result. it wasn't at the time of image capture.
 
Dont want to "edit".

WOULD like the ability to just always shoot in raw, then have the playmemories mobile app trigger the cam to apply the current settings, and do a retroactive RAW+jpg processing job, instead of pulling a crappy 1MP rush job when in RAW-only mode.

I mean come on, that's absurd.

But shooting in RAW+jpg mode all the time, is also absurd.

So currently, there are no nice setting to use, unless you KNOW beforehand that you want to transfer some shots from cam to phone.

ANd then half the time I leave the thing in RAW+jpg mode, ughh...

Would also be nice if delaying the jpg rendering, allowed for incamera

RAW-> x.fine conversion.

reminder that (on a7ii at least) only way you get x.fine jpg, is if you select that explicitly. It's not an option for RAW+jpg.

Really all the heavy lifting is already built in with every cameras JPEG engine. All this would require is a small program to control/manipulate and an execute function. Tone control is a bit more advanced, but could get close with DRO and exposure controls which already exist.

Curious if others wish Sony had in camera processing. Recently started using Fuji for family and fun shoots and RAW processing was a big part of the decision. Can shoot RAW only, then convert and transfer JPEGs with tweaks to the tone curve to get about 90% of the way to a good finished image.

Re: Do You Wish Sony Had In Camera Processing?

Hell No, Not if Sony continues with its current crap jpeg colour/WB/Tonality science!

Otherwise hell yes! fuji in camera jpeg and processing is great!

No, I have few camera has that " feature", never care for it and never use it.
 
If I’m editing on the go, Lightroom CC works better for me than trying to process a RAW in camera.

I had this feature on Pentax, and I really miss it.

Allowing transfer of RAW to PlayMemories Mobile would be an acceptable workaround, but currently, if I want to quickly post a shot from an event while the event is going on to social media, I have to accept the original SOOC JPEG. No provisions for tweaking exposure or WB. :(

Since Pentax's "RAW developer" feature was never active at the same time as any of the other stuff you describe (it's only active during playback mode), this isn't a problem.

thats your choice of editing software, not the camera's fault.

For example, google snapseed lets you tweak whitebalance reguardless of image format.

similarly, google photos lets you tweak exposure reguardless of image format

(snapseed has whitebalance and "brightness". it also has a curve editor, along with many other tools. but no explicitly labeled "exposure" knob.

whereas google photos has exposure and "warmth". but no explicitly labelled "white balance")
 
Yes.

Because I don't care about in-cam processing and the small LCD screen is IMHO too small anyway and often you are outside and it's hard to see the display. And with that small display, how can you see the details? I wouldn't use it.

But more options are always better as long as they don't put limits elsewhere, so yes!

Yes, it is the camera's fault, because the camera will refuse to provide a RAW image via WLAN transfer.

Google Snapseed is useless if Sony's system refuses to transfer RAW images.

Google Photos is not useful if Sony's system refuses to transfer RAW images

Adjusting white balance/exposure of a JPEG instead of the original RAW is not an option. By the time you have exported a JPEG, massive amounts of data are already lost
 
And on-camera RAW > JPG conversion when using the Play Memories app... I hate not having this.
 
No because it's too limited in what it can do.

Completely unrelated but I wish it had more aspect ratios and better raw compression.
