Canon rush to reassure investors as camera profits plunge
The lack of vision at DSLR companies is mind boggling.<p>Why can&#x27;t I do light editing and post to Instagram directly from the camera? Why can&#x27;t download the photos directly to a phone? Why can&#x27;t I charge from a micro-USB&#x2F;USB-C cable?<p>I get it that pros don&#x27;t need these features, but how hard are they to implement? The camera is already $1000+ dollars, how much more could adding a touch screen, a SIM card and a beefier CPU cost, when you have $100 phones with these features?<p>A lot of influencers would buy these cameras if they had a simple auto-mode (which disables most buttons and hides advanced menus) and upload to instagram feature. The workflow for using a DSLR to post to instagram is terrible, SD-cards, WiFi adapters, laptops, ... Not to mention that you need a lot of technical knowledge to hook everything up. No wonder few bother with the pain.<p>It&#x27;s ridiculous that the most expensive cameras in the world can&#x27;t connect to the number one place in the world where pictures are posted.
