    But I don't want to have to carry all those buckets around with me!

    Yeah, but at least they wouldn't all be full

    My fear is; I don't want to carry a camera that is more intelligent than me (which is why I don't have a smart phone, the exasperated sighs from the phone would bother me).

    Frankly I'm surprised that this isn't already a widespread technique coming from the camera manufacturers. I remember discussing this approach with some other photographers a number of years ago.

    I'll wait until they show examples with the light source within the composition, the reflected light example is a good start.

    On my monitor, the examples given are really pretty poor quality. I don't know if this is the quality to expect from this (first generation) camera or if it is simply the reproduction. I can live with my exposures.

    They don't look all that impressive to my laptop. Like one of the presets in NIK Analog FX

    Whether the images look impressive or not is surely not really the point. The technology, if widely applied (which it will be) will greatly reduce the instances of very badly exposed shots. The linked article seems to think that it will make aperture selection irrelevant, which suggests lack of knowledge of creative aspects, such as depth of field. I can't see any real downside to this technology as it is likely to lead to fewer technical errors and shift our focus (pun intended!) to composition.

    If that had been important to me, I never would have bought my first camera in 1983, a Minolta point-and-shoot film camera.
