Compacts are already in existance.
Sigma have made 2 compacts with large sensors (both rubbish). Noiseless ISO 1600 will be possible when decent camera makers copy Sigmas large sensor.
The Panasonic Lumix TZ7 already has a zoom range of 25mm to 300mm and the Lumix LX3 has 24mm to 60mm at F2.8 all the way.
Olympus have made 2 SLRs with built in filters, just not the filters that anyone actually wants.
My wifes canon compact has enough built in post shooting options to nearly fulfil my requirement to eliminate photoshop. I just need changing colours to sepia b&W, cropping, red eye removal, basic stuff like that.
Once all this lot is combined into one camera then my dream will have arrived.
Oh, greater dynamic range would be nice too. Fujifilm is working on that one.

Rev-O said:I'm so rubbish at taking a simple picture that I used to pass it straight to my wife, for fear of wasting film and money.
Now I shoot 10 or 15, instant playback, review, keep/reject and bingo: a couple of decent photos.
So for a bozo like me digital has been a gift.

Rev-O said:Ian, mate, no-one has the heart to to tell that the photo is rubbish - can't you see the background is all blurry?
My seven year old can draw a plan with the background all sharp and in focus. Come on lad, you can do better than that.
IanM said:I suspect that your seven year old also knows that plane ends with an 'e' :lol:
