Canon, Pentax, and Nikon are working on things like in-camera IS, dust-off vibration, greater dynamic range, etc.

This is America, most people have no idea what dynamic range, or dust off vibration is. Most people do have 10-300 pounds they could lose though.

Haha, so HP's idea isn't even original. I'm not saying the feature's worthless, just that I think manufacturors should work on other, more important things before going the, uh, slim filter route, which Pentax seems to have done.

 

[Amused]

They are marketing to an increasingly over weight world (yes world, not just the US).

And marketing to people's desires and insecurities works.

I say it's brilliant. Sad, but brilliant.

Well from a features point of view it's a relatively low cost feature, just a small software change to implement.

Portraits turn into landscapes by applying the feature.
