It's just a perfect example of how stupid our society as a whole has become.

Re: I've seen everything now !

In years to come some people might stumble an archive of this thread and think "sheeesh that was just the start of it". The precursor to the height corrector, the ugly corrector, eye correction filter and hairstyle adjustment.

all available from the thumbwheel whilst composing the shot ! In fact, maybe in the future you set ISO, shutter, aperture and beauty

Re: I've seen everything now !

Cant see any difference from what is already done in photoshop etc, the only
thing is that its done in camera instead of on the computer.

just take a butchers at the glamour photos, legs made to look longer and more shapely, skin blemishes removed, skin given toning etc etc etc.

Yeah I know and understand the use of Photoshop post-capture, but putting it in-camera is implying that it is a must-have for today's public. "Now you no longer need to feel ashamed about photographing your fat friends and fat family members. With this camera you can change their appearance".

I bet it prompts some interesting arguments in use !!!

Re: I've seen everything now !

Exactly my point !!!

it's as bad as "Don't worry love, I've been on photoshop upstairs and I've made you and your family a lot more attractive" "yay me !!"

Yeah i can just imagine the arguments, the sort that you can never win.

like ` so your taking my picture with this camera because i am fat etc`

I can see your point about this though, its one thing to do it in PS, but another game entirely to build it into the camera.
