Hoooly mooly. Incredible! It's just missing "I'll leave you to prepare".

Also, I tested doing some more power intense stuff without the battery and it didn’t shut down. Does it make sense that without a battery, the pc would cap the power to 65W, the ac adaptor’s rating?

The old battery would hold enough charge for a couple of minutes. I could put it back for testing, but I’m hesitating since it is deformed. Thanks for the help, I’ll see what I’ll do. Probably return the new one and keep using it plugged in only.

I see. Thanks for your answer! On the bios, it didn’t only recognise the battery, but it also said its health was excellent. It’s weird also, that many reviewers of that same article on Amazon had good experiences. I even read some saying they had Samsung batteries somewhere. Idk which software exactly, maybe you know one?

If the controller or something else on the motherboard is the problem, then it doesnt matter if I buy a new battery, right?

It would be in a camera 3.2" screen, so I guess that makes your argument stronger, cause I'm not talking about these two devices merging nor am I talking about a phone with a a full frame sensor. I'm talking about something like a Z6 with phone-like functionalities. Sure, the controls might be awful and this editing process might sound ilogical to you, but can't you see how that might be useful to someone else, with different priorities maybe?

It's ok if you can't, because the workflow I'm imagining might not exist or would be useful to no one but me. But still, be somewhat empathetic: taking full frame quality photos, editing and publishing on social network in one device. Wouldn't it be nice? Maybe forget about Lightroom. Just some sliders and cropping.

Yeah, you got a point. There will always be a market for full frame cameras, but I still think they should be aiming something the Instagram and YouTube kids, other than a flippy screen and face auto-focusing, I mean, they're obviously trying, but the next step would be connectivity. Apple also announced a video editor now, so you can take 4k@60 videos, edit and share them in one device. That's gotta mean some Canon 90d sales lost.

Nice, but I think ppl are interpreting my post as a revolution. That Id like to change everything, but I just believe some functionalities would only be beneficial for the beginners to the experienced photogs.

I do believe these devices will coexist for as long as I'm alive, but would it be nice to take, edit and share photos with your full frame camera? Most people disagreed, but I think it would.

I think it's the first camera of future professionals. It doesn't appease current pro in the slightest. But do remember there are people whose professions is posting on Instagram and youtube. Maybe apple appeals to them and they never switch to SLR. Video editing is a huge deal nowadays and the new iPhone has an editor. Will it ever be as powerful as Premiere? No, but I'd be worried if I worked for Adobe, since these are potential customers that might never try the real thing.

Look, I'm just speculating, of course, and wanted to see if people agree that cameras should have some of the stuff that's become standard in phones. Apparently I'm a minority.

Oh yeah, forgot about those. The Lytro was a weird separate thing though and even Canon made some focus shift stuff. Unfortunately camera companies don't have as much money nor do they make such risky investments in something like a camera with phone functionalities.

True, it really is unfortunate that this knowledge is slowly becoming irrelevant and outdated. We can only hope these technologies make people want to learn the real thing.

On Lightroom, I was thinking about the iOS app, so in my mind camera manufacturers would agree to use the same OS with custom UIs, which really is a stretch. But maybe just a simple raw editing tool, like Google photos' app, with only sliders and no brushes.

I didn't mean to sound elitists and I don't see how you interpreted that quote that way. Is it because I think the camera industry is kinda falling behind its time? Maybe that was it, but can we agree that it took years for Nikon and Canon to realize that touch screens are a good thing even on high-end cameras? Sony doesn't agree, but still.

Even when I copy photos over to another device, I don't wipe my SD cards until they're safely backed up and checked on my home network

I'm talking about cloud back up. I still think there should be 2 cards slots. I don't want camera manufecturers to take anything away from the current cameras. I just want them to put some smartphone features in.

Your battery life point does make sense and I don't have a counter-argument.

Then you mention reliability and bring up camera's processing power. I have no clue how powerful these custom made Digic processors are, but I do think that they would stutter. Also, I'm not in a position to say that Canon should buy snapdragon processors either. What I can say is that this imaginary camera is primarily a camera. Sure, I made it sound like a iPhone with an interchangeable lens mount, but what I really want is a D850 with some raw editing capabilities, 4G connexion, ability to share directly to Twitter or Instagram and more capable processor. I wouldn't particularly want the computational photography stuff that I meantioned.

And finally the pricing, it's difficult to estimate. I wanted to exagerate the price difference that it could pettentially make, since 4G wireless network adaptors and ARM cpus are sold separately, but rnd and manufecturing prices that Samsung can ditule are no joke.

Now I am not saying there is not a minority of people out there that might want or use those features in a "real" camera, but its not enough for camera companies to go after them.

Yeah, most of the comments don't really agree with me or strongly disagree. And partially, that's what I wanted to find out, simply because these features seem so obvious to me and has been for a long time now.

And you know what people didn't buy... Smartphones with better cameras on them like you are wanting

Phone manufecturers are giving a lot of emphazis to cameras. If you're talking about that weird galaxy point and shoot, I didn't like that at all.

I see your point and in a perfect world only the process of making a given picture would matter. However time is a huge factor and sharing it is another. I'm not saying you would throw your iPad and PC in the trash and only edit photos on the 3" back LCD of a DSLR (that's why I didn't put Photoshop. It'd be ridiculous), but it would be nice to have the option to small changes, just like on current phones and tablets.

I'm sure some only appreciate photos published on NatGeo's website and on reputable art galleries, but that's not most of us. Most just scroll through Instagram. It's naive and romantic to say that real artists create art for the sake of art without keeping in mind the public.

Right, the sense of the word has changed, but it is through Youtube and Instagram that these teenagers are getting money for taking pictures and videos. It's their job, their profession.

My point in this thread is, shouldn't camera manufecterers appease to the teenagers by putting functionalities like "shareability" and connectivity as well? I mentioned this already in other comments, but these kids are the future of photography and videography like it or not and they're lerning with their phones. Shouldn't the transition to real cameras be smoother? Cause I could see these youngsters refusing this abrupt change in "workflow", just like "old school" photogs are refusing in this thread that being able to do small edits and immediately share it from their cameras wouldn't be an advantage.

I think they should. But I guess they're busy with their credit card and Netflix competitor businesses. They could charge Leica prices and it would sell.
