It's pretty ridiculous that a standard control protocol for cameras doesn't exist these days.

The IR remote release for the Pentax zoom90-WR film compact (and several others) allowed you to control the zoom remotely. With an FA PZ lens it would be possible to control the zoom from the camera (the Z-1 could in the '90s).
You can't focus, zoom in or change important in camera parameters with a shutter release or cable release!

Canon have for a long time done a Software Development Kit (SDK).

As far as I know no ones ever asked for a Pentax SDK so you
can't really blame RICOH...... (We need a means of colouring
RICOH RED in posts)
