A fully programmable / hackable modern 35mm fullframe camera with some popular lens mount.

Not a dirty unofficial hack like Magic Lantern. I want a vendor-endorsed scripting / custom software API and SDK.

Same. Honest example: when doing research for shooting panoramic or other form factor moving picture stuff, it's really loving stupid that none of the cameras allow you to preview or shoot with an adjustable aspect ratio. It's 2024, a teenager could program this.


Let's take camera security seriously. Why are there literally zero options for remote locking or having a passcode after 24hr security feature? When Apple introduced security features and thieves realized that a stolen phone is now just a brick, it had a measurable impact on phone theft.

It didn’t really though. Now, phones are just shipped off to china where they’re stripped for parts and sold back to factories. That exact thing happened to a goon two weeks after the 15s came out (he was able to follow the trail with find my iPhone all the way to china).

This is a rather stupid derail but come on. https://techcrunch.com/2015/02/11/apples-activation-lock-leads-to-big-drops-in-smartphone-theft-worldwide/

Even if everything you said is true do you think there's a massive camera theft -> camera breakdown pipeline like there is for phones that would make this a profitable endeavor for criminals? The crime is to just steal an expensive camera then resell it precisely because there are zero security features on any camera, ever.
