Nikon Is ending 70 years of camera production in Japan

I would love smartphone postprocessing over DSLR raw images.

I feel that phones usually make better decisions for contrast, white balance, exposure than DSLRs do. With a DSLR, reaching the same finished product usually requires a ton of manual work editing photos.

Of course, the DSLR has far better detail on the pixel level, and if you need to zoom in at all, it wins in a landslide. I wish I could combine the strengths of both platforms.

DSLRs (and other high-end cameras) typically have a ton of JPEG options too. Though I usually just shoot raw and let Lightroom apply presets.

That said, the traditional camera manufacturers are pretty much laggards with respect to software so their better hardware isn't really used to full advantage a lot of the time.
