I'm doing a talk later this week about evolution of basic consumer cameras from 1920 to date. <BR>

- a tripod bushing to fit a standard tripod and every other similar device made since.... dirt. like every other camera I have ever owned or collected. <BR>
- a shutter button you can find.<BR>
- a eyelet for a wrist-strap to avoid dropping the darn thing over a cliff while groping for the non-existent shutter button.<BR>
- some kind of little ridge for your fingers to help grip the darn thing, like every other camera I have used in the last 20 years. <BR>
<BR>

one has to wonder if these morons even spent 30 minutes at a camera store before deciding how to make a smartphone. <BR>
