We..as in the human race. I don't shoot Samsung. I didn't know the NX30, which I never heard of until now allowed you to touch the rear screen and take a photo. But we are talking about the A7IV here. NOT Samsung. And if it was so popular? Why don't the other camera manufacturers have it?
I'm wating for Facebook to take photos without permission as soon as one takes a photo! We get ads on Facebook for things we either looked up on the net or have even, and freakingly so, talked about.Well, wasn't there already a (settable) feature which released a shot when people showed a certain degree of smile/grin?
The next iteration might be the touch-shutter, or focus-confirmation-shutter-release, or the long time awaited great-photographic-subject-alert-bell. :-D
I wouldn't go so far as to label it trolling, but there are many who wish their leading edge mirrorless would work like a smartphone. Other complaints I hear often is how their smartphone does such a great job getting everything in focus or how it corrects exposure automatically. To those I suggest they use a smartphone then and save some money.
Don't think it's trolling. But a legit question. But I see your point.
I also Agree it is not trolling. I can understand now the brand-war sentiment is so strong on DPR that any constructive criticism would trigger emotion. But still, I think calling a constructive criticism a 'trolling attempt' is not a good sign.
Touch to focus didn't become 'a thing' because it is something nice to have but also not a deal breaker. There are other much more significant reasons at stake for the successfulness than having touch focus or not. But it doesn't mean touch focus itself is not something good or useful.
It is a valid point. But the OP has vanished like the Samsung cameras so who knows?
Most likely because it will lead to lots of unintentional exposures.
If that’sa reason not to upgrade, then you have serious priority issues
A lot of them do. Including Sony APS-C cameras. You have a serious issue with reading criticism of Sony products. I'm a Sony full frame shooter and I can take and give criticism and not take it personally. You might want to talk to a a therapist about such unconditional love of a thing.
i need these issues to stop me buying things i dont need. But its not a deal breaker.
I'm almost certain my A7III does too
Perhaps a bit OT but I'm trying to figure out how I'd manage to shoot stills with a tap on the LCD, possibly fold out - and to get this way a sharp image w/o the need to stay in the very short exposure times range.
The way it was said and came across was rude.
I think it is up to personal interpretation. For me it looks fine. After all it is criticism toward a thing, not a person.
This is conspiracy stretching too far. Unless the same guy spamming the same complaint all over the forum non-stop, I don't think it has anything to do with trolling.
I've dealt with rude people since 2015...without getting into detail. As for a conspiracy stretching too far? You apparently was never on the Nikon Rumors forum.

Steadly holding the cam may be already quite challenging in the traditional position with the cam held firmely to the eye and with the shutter release button with vertical action and close to the face as the point of support/stabilization. Imagining how this could reasonably work ergonomically with the LCD screen flipped to the side or downwards, applying a tap on it. I'm not using my smartphone often for taking a photograph but I know how many of those few photos needed several attempts because of the ruined ones due to the blur caused by my tap on the screen. But that's just me with possibly my ergonomic limitations
it's horrible to use and that's why apple hasnt implemented it eitherYoure overvthinking it. Instead of pressing a button you touch the screen and it takes a photo. Its really that simple. On tripod, off tripod whatever it doesnt matter. When i use the griii in low light i always use tap to shoot as pressing the shutter can cause more movement in the camera. There is no blur caused by tap to shoot.Perhaps a bit OT but I'm trying to figure out how I'd manage to shoot stills with a tap on the LCD, possibly fold out - and to get this way a sharp image w/o the need to stay in the very short exposure times range.

I just typed this on my phone..and taped the screen loads of times....

I did not see it as being rude in any way or even a hint of being rude. I saw a bit of confusion though, when you mentioned that "we"/"humans" have not advanced that far. So a few people (me included) simply stated that there have been advancements made that can do the touch shutter. The FF Sony A7C that came out last year has it, my Canon M50 has it, the high end Canon R5 has it and other Sony cameras have it too . When you wrote "we", I first thought you meant "Sony". People did not reply to be rude to the OP for the reasons you stated, but rather It was to correctly inform you that the technology does indeed exist and has/is being used in consumer cameras.
