I am not saying manufacturers should design and sell them, I have no idea whereas they can make money out of them, and I understand easily they prefer to focus on other topics more valuable to their business. But as a photographer, I do know I missed them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Wide-angle compact<\/strong> (16-35 mm Eq. Full frame): still missing. Nikon almost did it but finally, the project has been cancelled.<\/li><li>RAW capabilities and more than a point and shoot underwater camera: partially, yes as RAW is now frequently available. Most of the cameras are basically point and shoot but let\u2019s say this category is now existing.<\/li><li>Viewfinder on small compacts: yes, absolutely. Sony RX 100 of course. And a few more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is not to dream of some impossible compromises like a \u201c16-500 mm f\/2.8 zoom weighting less than 500 g, sharp like Hell, and not expensive at all\u201d. But these missing cameras are certainly not impossible to design and manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Let me add a couple more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Very light drones, under 250 g which can shoot RAW<\/strong>. Basically, drones for photographers\u2026 DJI almost did it but finally no DNG files are available on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dji.com\/ch\/mavic-mini\/specs\">Mavic Mini<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Full frame compacts ruggedized<\/strong>. Yes, I know, a niche market but such a compact, a mirrorless or whatever camera with a \u201cbig\u201d sensor (at least APS-C) would definitively make sense. I am not talking about weather sealed bodies; you always wonder whether you are going to destroy your camera when it rains with these ones but a real certified one capable of going underwater. Maybe not for scuba diving, this is specific needs and underwater housing exist for a reason, but more a travel body able to follow you when you swim, snorkel, and shoot under a monsoon rainy day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With the missing wide angle compact, that\u2019s another 3 missing cameras for 2020 ! And you, what kind of camera do you want that the market does not provide, yet ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image: <\/em>Photo by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@alxznder?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=photographer-credit&amp;utm_content=creditBadge\" target=\"_blank\">Alexander Lam<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some years ago, in 2012, I have identified several kinds of cameras which were not existing, whilst there is certainly needs for them.
