I would like to see computational photography applied to raw images from DSLRs and MILCs with APS-C and larger sensors. Perhaps Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm could have built-in options in their cameras for ‘social media mode’, with a modicum of noise reduction (honestly unnecessary at ISOs lower than about 1600 for modern cameras), but drastically improved HDR and white balance.

Many of these cameras are able to take bracketed[1] exposures, and the SNR in even just one image from such sensors is immense compared to the tiny sensors in phones. Surely with this much more data to work with, HDR is much nicer and without the edge brightening typically seen in phone HDR images.
