Thoughts on how to deal with camera problems
If you need to wear glasses to see up close, the lcd screens are a pain. Even with perfect vision, seeing a lcd screen in bright sun cant be done (by me any way)
This camera case concept with a thumb hole in the side would allow access to all controls.
Cameras have diaptor adjustments to adjust to your eyes -> through the viewfinder.
Cameras do have electronic viewfinders that allow you to see all settings -> through the viewfinder
But Not The LCD
With a Nesquick container and magnifying glass, I stuck the little camera inside and with out glasses got the perfect vision.
Unlike the cameras that add $$$ for these features, you can see the lcd screen, no sunflare.. perfect like you were superman
The magnifying glass was about $8, the cost of the molded nesqick container ???
My experiment was a little long but with the proper power lens it could be a snug close and protection for the camera.
No magnifying glass but this gadget was about $20. Google glasses might cost $300 to $500 to have such vision
Manufactures could produce such things .. who would it interest, those who have to wear glasses and those who can not see a lcd screen in bright light.

I have a couple little cameras that need to open the bottom to charge or upload pics.
This socket in back, wondering how long b4 the little plastic door will break
Wonder why they could not be designed with external contacts to do the job? My phone is smaller than the camera and has this feature

Theory only
Because of depth of field, having something close and at a distance in focus can not be done.
Cameras already have the ability to stitch pics together in panoramic mode. Looks like they could be programed to take a closeup and infinity shot in a mili second and paste the parts at close range over the other?
