Could the humble shutter button on digital cameras be done away with in the future? That could be a possibility, considering Casio's fantastic EX-F1 super camera that is capable of capturing 60 six-megapixel still shots in just a second, in addition to 1,200 frames of video with the same amount of time. Being that advanced, a manual shutter could be considered as a hindrance since it brings camera shake into the equation - which is definitely working against capturing great shots. According to a Casio executive, “A shutter button might even be one of the principal causes of bad pictures. If users did not release a shutter, there [would be] no camera shake. If a camera decided the timing, it would not miss a decisive moment.” Mmm, when will we see such delectable cameras in the future?
