My dream camera specs

  1. Perspective correction. Yes, it is a digital camera, so you shoot, you level, you correct, that's all.
  2. Wifi photo distribution. So I can show the pictures over your network as I shoot, either as part of a slide show or on a photo web site.
  3. GPS tagging of photos. For now, take a picture of the GPS location and time screen and type it in the PC later.

    This one adds the place name to the photo tag: PMA 07: Jobo photoGPS Brings Easy GPS Photo Tagging to the Masses
  4. OCR, to convert photos of documents to editable text on the fly.
  5. A touch or real keyboard to anotate and rename the picture file names as I shoot the picture.
  6. 8 - 12 Mega Pixels is still ok
  7. Macro: the more the better. I should be able to fill the screen with a 1 cm object.
  8. Telephoto: 10 x optical would be nice.
  9. Still fit in my pocket; if the camera is not always with you it's useless.
  10. Large HAD CCD Sony Cybershot
