List of features requested

I got a list of features from (www.bythom.com) requested by multiple users, so publishing it here. very interesting list. This might have some features specific to Nikon cameras.


Camera Features:
a.. Auto ISO on/off assignable to a button (Command dial then changes min shutter speed?) (jb, am)
b.. Auto ISO shutter speed/focal length dependency (min shutter speed = 1/fl for FX 1/fl*1.5 for DX) (js)
c.. With Auto ISO make it dependent upon focal length (ad)
d.. Dedicated ISO button (or ability to assign it to an assignable button) (rg)
e.. Set the clock from the GP-1 if connected. (jc)
f.. Built-in GPS (ah)
g.. Sunrise/Sunset calculation (from GPS) (pa)
h.. Ability to upload a small text file to the camera and pull it up on the color LCD. Suggested by a wedding photographer as a way to keep shot lists. [I'd add that it really should be a ToDo file: you should be able to put a check mark next to any individual line of text.] (mo)
i.. Firmware updates to allow bracketing in steps larger than 1. (nw)
j.. Store and edit camera settings files on a PC (ah) [We sort of have that with Camera Control Pro]
k.. Combine SHOOTING and CUSTOM SETTINGS banks (many) [I'm not so sure about just combining them, but I do want the option to combine them, so that the camera can be completely set in one selection]
l.. Save/Load SHOOTING bank settings, Save/Load CUSTOM SETTINGS bank settings (sg)
m.. Restore to Saved settings option (not default) (sg)
n.. Restore to Saved after time period (sg) [could also be Restore to Saved on On/Off]
o.. High/Low DOF limits for current settings in viewfinder/info screen. Also, set hyperfocal button, set infinity button. (jc)
p.. Pressing AE-L in Manual exposure does nothing now, should do "quick set" to 0 (via Program). (jc)
q.. Trap focus as a setting, not a group of settings. (jc)
r.. Improve contrast detection AF speed (cw)
s.. HDR support (many) [Comes in many forms, but the most common request is three-image bracket 2 stops apart; also in-camera HDR assembly to JPEG ala Pentax K7]
t.. Integrated meter and sensor for HDR. Essentially use metering to determine where to do early read and reset on sensor pixels to create HDR data. (lk)
u.. M-UP allows Self Timer (many), M-UP has always up (tm)
v.. PSAM in Custom Setting or Shooting banks (am)
w.. Limit Program exposure mode to subset of available apertures (js)
x.. Scriptable Program or exposure modes (pa)
y.. Set hyperfocal distance (eg)
z.. Trap focus that works with MF lenses (al)
aa.. User-definable Programs for Program exposure mode (eg)
ab.. Reset to a user-definable state (cs)
ac.. AF button + dial changes AF mode (ka)
ad.. Get strap lugs positioned so camera hangs properly (ka)
ae.. Panorama assist mode (ka)
af.. Built-in WiFi (ah)
ag.. Built-in hard drive (ah)
ah.. Display blinking highlights when zoomed (or zoom highlights page) (am)
ai.. Custom threshold for highlights (am)
aj.. Stop showing file name, date, time, quality, etc. on every review page; only needed once (many)
ak.. Histograms with exposure stop markers (am)
al.. Accurate raw data histograms (UniWB) (many)
am.. Real DSLR Color Space (sRGB, AdobeRGB too small) (lk)
an.. D300 CompactFlash door opens unintentionally too often; needs a lock release (ala D3) (fk)
ao.. Fix the SCM (AF mode) focus switch so that it can't easily be jarred to a different position (many)
ap.. D300 needs a dedicated bracketing button (cw)
aq.. Fast frame rate at 14-bits (D300, D700) (several) [This is one of those gain some, lose some scenarios. I'd just suggest you use 12-bit on those cameras if you need fast frame rate.]
ar.. Better viewfinder (many) [Seems to be some disagreement on what that means: brighter, 100% always, and better manual focus assist are the three most common suggestions]
as.. Swivel LCD (many) [most don't like D5000 swivel position]

Flash Features:

a.. Radio style wireless control (ah)
b.. Built-in Pocket Wizard (many)
c.. SB-700 (update to SB-600 with SB-900 style controls) (many)
d.. Remove aperture restrictions in Program/Scene exposure modes (many)

Software Features:
a.. A decent way to print (with borders) from Capture NX2. (jb)
Lenses:
First, let's get some obvious stuff out of the way. We need to fill out the DX line and update a number of outdated lenses in the lineup. Basically we take the current 50 AF lens lineup, add three lenses (one of the back), and then perform 12 updates to make the line reasonably complete and current:
a.. 16mm f/2.8G DX (or other wider DX prime)
b.. 50-150mm f/2.8G VR AF-S DX
c.. Redo 18mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm primes (G, AF-S, Nano)
d.. Redo 85mm f/1.4 (G, AF-S, Nano, VR)
e.. Redo 105mm and/or 135mm DC (G, AF-S, Nano, VR)
f.. Redo 17-35mm f/2.8 (G, AF-S, Nano)
g.. Redo 24-120mm f/3.5-4.5G VR (better optics)
h.. Redo 200mm Micro-Nikkor (G, AF-S, Nano, VR)
i.. Redo 300mm f/4 (add VR, Nano)
j.. Redo 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D (G, add AF-S, Nano)
Okay, with the obvious out of the way, time for your user input.
a.. make all PC-E lenses so tilt and shift can be same axis or different axis (many)
b.. 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 AF-S lens update. (gv) [Actually, why not just reintroduce it?]
c.. 24-200mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S lens for FX. (bl)
d.. 35-135mm (suggestions ranging from f/2 to f/4). (various)
e.. 180mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor (replaces both 200mm f/4 and 180mm f/2.8). (jc)
f.. Galen's favorite 20mm f/4 refreshed. (kh) [Any small, very wide prime would be nice]
g.. A DX portrait lens: 60mm f/1.4G (ab)
h.. Redo 85mm f/1.8 (G, AF-S) (kh)
i.. 135mm f/2.8 (G, AF-S, VR) (kh)
j.. 400 f/5.6 (G, AF-S, VR) (kh)
k.. 14mm or 16mm PC-E DX (er)
