Call for sense in the camera market

dpreview have posted their pre-PMA predictions, mainly as a placeholder for their page for PMA coverage.

The best part, for me, are the calls to manufacturers at the end of the list:

• Fewer pixels please (we care about image quality) - It's a straightforward
  prediction that we'll see fourteen megapixel compacts at PMA, which in our
  opinion will be yet another step back for image quality. Other than subtle
  improvements in image processing overall image quality in compact digital
  cameras hasn't improved since the six megapixel era, to make things worse the
  marketeers have decided that high sensitivity will sell compact cameras. There's
  simply no worse combination than tiny photosites and high gain. So we'd be happy
  to pat any manufacturer on the back who delivers improvements in overall image
  quality without the obvious step in megapixel count (great high ISO performance
  will be a natural consequence of larger photosites and/or larger sensors).
  
• Shelf stuffing - Lastly, please, lets move away from the practice of 'shelf
  stuffing'. That is producing four or five product variations on the exact same
  model with very subtle differences (such as LCD screen size) with the intention
  of getting more shelf space for the brand. It's counter productive as it only
  leads to confuse the consumer and in these days of online purchasing the gains
  of such practices must surely be questionable.

Yes, please. More of that.
