Lightbulb Re: Suggestions for Panasonic? Let's hear them!

One thing I would very much like to see return to camera design is the lens axis control ring. There is far to much control operation given to the right hand.

The Olympus XZ-1 and the Canon PowerShot S100 are an absolute joy to use, having adjustments to the selected mode variable made by the left hand, in a very natural ergonomically well placed control.

Do you mean something like the I Function ring on the Samsung NX lenses.

Yes I think Graham means something like i-Function, or an aperture ring as on Panasonic Leica Four Thirds lenses. Basically a ring on the lens barrel that can complement another controller on the right hand side of the body.

Add a swiveling screen as per G3 to the GX1, plus wireless flash control and a real optical viewfinder as per Fuji, more in camera filter effects, improved battery life.

Make the handgrips on the cameras both removable and interchangeable to cater for holding preferences.

An equivalent Panasonic camera like the new OM-D at the top of the family range/line.

More reasonably priced lenses for us ordinary folk on a restricted budget.

Re: Suggestions for Panasonic? Let's hear them!

There have been so many suggestions too numerous to mention, but could a list be made of the suggestions that have been selected for Panasonic's attention. I'm sure we would all like to see what is passed on to them.
