Camera manufacturers should offer custom ordered camera's/FW. This way, you get exactly everything you want, and nothing you don't. Also, you pay for only what you want, and nothing you don't.
There may be a few basic bodies to choose from, then you can choose which imaging sensor you want, which lcd, AF module, etc.
Here's the exciting part. Modular Firmware. Want live view or video? Add the module for additional cost. Wan't to do away with trivial things like scene modes or certain automatic features? Nix them! Want to set your own autobracketing EV's? No problem!
Think we'll ever see the day? Am I just nuts?
