What's the most annoying thing about your camera?

Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark II:

I find the tracking function very disappointing.
Even when the subject is continuously clearly in the frame, the camera manages to lose the subject and focus on the background.

I knew this beforehand, and I don't use it very often, so it's certainly manageable.

There is one annoying downside to my Canon cameras throughout all the years, and that is the button for focusing the eyepiece. There is nothing wrong with the button, but why there is no locking mechanism, just like on a watch or something else, I have never understood. really a downside and now let's just hope Canon reads this too.

I photograph with a Pentax K1 mark2, and as far as I'm concerned there isn't a single downside to it, but because Pentax probably won't be coming with a successor anymore I bought a Panasonic Lumix S5mark2 as well, but it turns out this one doesn't have the option for multiple exposure, while the S5 did, so I had looked into it, but apparently not well enough, unfortunately for me this is a major omission, because I use this often. So I don't think the Lumix will be a keeper for me.

I have a Panasonic DMC FZ 2000.
It has a number of shortcut buttons. One is fairly low on the rear, which means you regularly touch it by accident. As a result, the camera blocks certain functions.
So annoying

With the OM System OM1 (and perhaps with all Olympus OM System cameras), the lens release button is on the wrong side. On my Fujifilm camera it is on the side of the grip and you can press it with your index finger while holding the camera by the grip.
With the OM1 it is to the left of the lens and you have to shift your grip. With a large heavy lens you should really just put it down for safety. 🤔

If I were starting over, despite having shot Canon all my life, I wouldn't choose Canon anymore. The fact that with the full-frame R cameras you can't use any lenses other than Canon's that work automatically means that, despite them being perfectly good cameras, I wouldn't choose them anymore.

With my Canon R7... the enormous noise at higher ISO.

Many cameras have programmable buttons. In itself, that is of course very handy. I have programmed a number of buttons on my R7 as well. But now comes the annoying part: I often forget which button I programmed for what purpose. So that's what annoys me😊

I can only look through a viewfinder with my left eye. The right one is blind. I now own a sony a7iii. With it, I sometimes have difficulty operating the joystick because my nose gets in the way. I would have liked to have had an FF camera where the viewfinder was on the right of the camera body with all the buttons on the left e.g. A camera body in mirror image, so actually of the currently offered FF cameras, that would probably suit me better too. I didn't pay enough attention to this years ago when purchasing my current body. Despite my handicap, I adapt and am otherwise very satisfied with this FF.

That it doesn't have GPS! I miss it terribly

What I find most annoying about my Sony A7 V?

That the AF tracking is so good that during a sports match at 30 fps I hardly take any failed photos anymore. The camera keeps such a good lock on the subject that virtually every photo is in focus.

The result: after a match, I have to go through a huge number of photos that are all in focus and also look suspiciously similar to each other.

That's why I've now gone back to shooting at 10 fps. The advantage of that is that I can keep shooting bursts practically endlessly without the buffer filling up.

In short: the most annoying thing about my camera is that it actually does its job too well.

I really enjoy using my Sony a7iii, but I find it very annoying that I can't set a duration in Burst mode. I don't use this mode very much, so it's not a big deal. But it is inconvenient when I do want to use it occasionally.

That it’s heavy; Nikon D850. That’s really the only thing. Especially with the lenses that have to go on it.
