What I'm pointing out is the ironic selectivity of what they put in digital cameras today.
On one hand, there're relatively simple technology that would help me make a run time creative decision, on which manufacturers are just weirdly rigid or arbitrary. This includes things like aspect ratio.
On the other hand, they routinely throw in automation that directly minimizes the need to make a decision. A D750 will bracket up to 9 frames, so you don't even need to get exposure right.
I love digital, but sometimes I find the set of features on a camera to be arbitrary. They'll do an HDR merge in the camera now, but if I want an exact 6x7 crop I have to bring it into Lightroom. I'm much more likely to do the crop than the HDR. Heck, I can already crop in camera post exposure. Just let me set the aspect ratio the way I want for shooting.
