What exactly does not work?
No AF? No metering? Not even fully manual operation?

Nikon has no mirrorless cameras under $2,000. I don't think many people who are not paid for photography buy a camera at that price. It would be very interesting to know what Nikon's roadmap for...

No mtering with AF-D lenses? I don't think that's true. Obviously no AF with these, but metering and automated exposure modes should work. The same as all D3xxx and D5xxx cameras.

I think especially at the entry level there is a place for DSLR.

At the high end mirrorless cameras have improves so much. But at the entry level you usually get:
- Small optical viewfinder vs. no...

A few years ago I did the "mother test". I was running a local 10k race. I put my old D40 (+ kitt) in my mother's hands to take pictures on that sunny day. She never had any camera better than a...

These "old" optical designs used to work very well.
Why do they need a much more complex and expensive design?
Fixing a problem that isn't really there?

Someone who has worked in a photo shop that was located close to a bordello told me they used to sell lots and lots of instant film before there was digital. Obviously many had fun taking pictures....

Kids may prefer convenience at first, but they aren't stupid.
People interacting stand or sit next to each other, not on top of each other. ( Well... with some 'exceptions'. But even if you did...

I don't think it was digital that killed APS-C.
Even in a parallel universe that did not invent digital or much later, APS-C would have failed.
It tried to solve a problem that did not exist. By...

Simply because the target audience is very different.

Professionals / Enthusiasts want to (be able to) edit. For them it's best to have a very clean (probably raw) output. Any automatic...

But it's your fault if you don't have the right one with you.

Sometimes, it is me. 40 yo from Germany (Berlin). I love photography and I take lots of photos. Most of the time digital (Nikon D800, Oly EM-10). Sometimes I take photos on film (Nikon F90 and some...

I think calling this "computational photography" is bulls*** bingo. 10 years ago you could have used any 1/2.33'' sensor compact camera. Load the picture into photoshop. Create a layer mask that...

They have action cameras and also a 360 deg as well as some rugged/waterproof compact cameras. They also have the 1 system with a 1 inch sensor.

Huawei is actually pretty significant. They sold 139 million phones in 2016 and growing very fast. They are market leader in china and they are quite strong in Europe as well.

Many phones actually take better photos than cheap compacts. I think the reason is they have quite fast prime lenses (maybe f/1.8) while typical compact cameras have slow zoom lenses while sensor...

Do really want it to be automatic? I often take many photos of the same subject to try things etc. Even if it was really quick, I don't want them all on the phone.
