[Robbie Carman]

for sure interesting, focus part I get but not sure if I’d like the screen to adjust shutter and aperture

Is that lens dust… no a finger print

If you always had an ‘unblemished’ external monitor for looking at your shot, and if the on-camera screen stayed on while you used that monitor, and if you just used the on-camera screen as a touch-screen interface, that might be cool. But that’s a lot of ‘if’s.

I had a touch-screen Sony Handycam a while back – it was ok. Touch to focus was kind of neat, I’d imagine it would be even cooler with shallow DOF. The screen definitely got dirty though.

It sounds like something they might use to market an entry-level camera. I’m all for them giving it a shot – just as long as they don’t force anyone to use it who doesn’t want to.

I agree… I like options to “allow” my gear to think for me… but don’t like when it “assumes”.

I’d rather Canon make their screens swivel out like the Nikon’s do. In terms of super low angle shots, especially for video shooting, a swiveling screen with the Z-Finder would be 1st class.

Oh, and I think my nose just changed some setting.
