alt Hacker NewsI also have the same fuji. Digital cameras are still in the stone ages. I think Tony Northrup covered it well. Nothing has changed since digital cameras came to market, the workflow is still the same, copy files from a card to PC. They aren't connected to the internet, they don't have automatic syncing to cloud for backups or sharing, fuji doesn't even have a gps chip built in to store the location (only works if connected to a smartphone), they can't be locked via fingerprint scanner. It's all tech from 25 years ago.

Windows OS is also stone age. There is no simple way to list all user data, or user edited system data for simple backup in readable format.
Btw X100F has Wi-Fi and automated file transfer to PC. But it is faster to transfer it via SD card.
In some senses it's good. That feature list just says "use a smartphone then". No thank you. It's everything that a camera should not be.
GPS is useful, but not wifi. I don't need my camera becoming another IOT always online telemetry device. They're one of the few electronic devices built to last. Imagine needing fingerprint unlock on a camera, and for what? Prevent others from viewing your photos? Changing your settings? Also copy from card to pc is the best possible workflow. Imagine cameras like smartphone with no expandable storage.
Stop giving these people ideas! I am now very afraid they will listen to this guy since he actually has a follower base.
