Interesting. I completely misinterpreted that. Apologies.

Thanks for the failed sarcasm Ron.

There's infinite options in post-processing, so it makes sense that they do the raw conversion, whilst leaving it up to the user to do the PP.

Given the size of cameras, it's amazing that they don't make the batteries 50% (or more) bigger, for a relatively small increase in overall body size.

Fotoni, that's technically almost true, but...

1. almost no-one will bother doing this computational stuff manually, with their digital cameras

2. some of these features aren't even possible...

You can use LR for editing without (truly) using the DAM, although admittedly it's unnecessarily clunky to do so.

Yes, we're talking about *looks*, not *ergonomics*. Why are people finding this so hard to understand? I can no longer tell if cosinaphile is trolling or is serious. I'll leave you gentlemen to...

You know exactly what I meant. Looks are irrelevant to the function of a camera.

I know, that's what I trying to explain to him, but we seemed to be talking at cross-purposes. The joys of text chat forums...

cosinaphile, whilst I think you've completely misunderstood this topic, and obviously I don't disagree that *design* is important (as opposed to looks), I think your line "i gathering my writing...

cosinaphile, you certainly write a lot, in spite of completely missing the point.

kreislauf was talking about the *looks* of the camera. The looks are *completely and utterly* irrelevant to the...

Looks are irrelevant to the function of a camera.

User9362470513, who said anything about ergonomics? Looks are irrelevant for cameras, assuming you're serious about your photography of course..

Such a shame, given that looks are critically important to their function.

Oh wait...

Pincushion/barrel distortion are a separate issue to the blurring you describe. I'll leave you to it, otherwise we'll just go round in circles.

You're confusing two different things.

I've never heard anyone confusing distortion with blur. Could you refer me to some documentation about what what you're describing?

Mortal Lion, we're talking about distortion.

It's not hard to justify at all. It just depends what your use case(s) is(are).

Run far and fast from anecdotal evidence on an internet forum.
