<p>I’ve stopped using my old Nikon D70s after it gave up once again during my
last vacation (random failures in recording the photos on the flash card). For
now I’m stuck with another remain of the past (Canon Ixus 60, small
point-n-shoot with a 6Mp sensor) and my iPhone 3Gs. My plan is to get the
Panasonic <span class="caps">GF</span>-1, which looks like the perfect solution for me: image quality on
par with SLRs yet portable (almost) like a compact camera. However, I’m still
waiting for the perfect deal (i.e., someone that goes to the <span class="caps">US</span> and gets it
from amazon.com or B&H), so I can’t help but wondering when Nikon or Canon or
Panasonic starts putting these features in a complete package:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>small form factor: the <span class="caps">GF</span>-1 wins for me over the other entry-level SLRs just because it’s (almost) pocketable.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>interchangeable lenses: being an old <span class="caps">SLR</span> fanatic, I don’t want to be stuck with a single lens, even if at the end of the day I only use 2 lenses on my D70s: 20mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1/8.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>wireless data transfer: I hate cables. Put a wifi or a bluetooth chip on the camera !</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span class="caps">GPS</span>: I’m a metadata nerd, so I love the fact that the iPhone camera, despite its low quality shots, gives me location data.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span class="caps">HD</span> video: no time limits (such as the 10mins of the Nikon D3100), full <span class="caps">HD</span> quality please.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>However, I doubt to get all these things in a camera by next year, so I guess
I’ll have to shell out for the <span class="caps">GF</span>-1 now and hope that Panasonic and Olympus
get their engineers moving on to the future. Conventional SLRs: the entry
level models from Nikon or Canon are very attractive, but I don’t see how
they’ll ever manage to get so small by not removing the mirror. And I don’t
see Canon or Nikon embracing the micro 4:3 standard.</p>
