Why features don't matter anymore

[srdiamond]

It depends entirely on the potential market, which in turn is structured by a company's competition and by its own resources, including personal aptitudes and interests. I don't know enough about cameras to argue the point, but I really doubt that there's no profit to be made producing fully featured cameras that require more than pushing a singe button. In parallel, surely there is also a market for software that only requires a single button press, as shown by the popularity of "set it and forget it" utilities.
