So here I go:
For "final user" oriented I mean that we can use the camera as
handheld camera also than network camera, so I hope it can:
-Have batteries to operate unplugged
-Buttons to start/stop recording, zoom/focus and navigate through
menus and replay already recorded
-Motorized optics + autofocus
-a Visor (a lcd or optical) to see what are you aiming  and indicators
on the status on battery, storage and recording with OSD on LCD or
leds if optical
-Storage, I would like an SD or two SD slots, plus an eSATA or USB2.0
connector to attach an HD
- Embedded mic plus an audio input to allow external audio source
- high priority one bit signal input/output to sync various cams,
master/slave, if the master starts recording slave will start also ,
various cams can be plugged in cascade
- Analogue video(RGB)/audio output and digital HDMI output , but due
digital output can be achieved by streaming through network or storage
the recording I will be no picky on this :P
-At least 1080p(1920x1080 at 60fps) ) resolution

I don't care if the final result is a bulky shoulder cam , I know
Wolfgang thoughts about integration, but I thing if we can build "the
core" as network camera (just a rectangle with rj45 + a lot of pin
connector) and we design an enclosure to put that network camera as
"cartridge" to an enclosure with all the above requirements we will
cover a big width market , also having that kind of architecture
hackers can plug his own enclosures fulfilling  their needs just using
the pins of the connector they need. also various enclosures one more
simple with small bats and just sd ,small visor and buttons and other
more Pro shoulder mounted with all the above plus an HD bay and bigger
batts.

So Dear Santa, I was a good boy and I hope Rudolph doesn't LOL too
much after you read my wishlist

Waiting for your feedback and thoughs.
