I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve read in a press release for a new camera that a new or updated feature is the result of user requests. They most likely are – given how vocal users can be on social media if they’re disappointed about something – and it gives the impression that consumer demand has a lot of influence in product design.
It makes us feel like we’re all part of the family. In reality, though, I’m not so sure – and what fuels this doubt is the demise of the DSLR camera. I recently noted that we’re now down to a handful of models that you can buy new, so I decided to do a bit more investigation.
