That said, there is still a very large market for upscale cameras, and superzooms. You simply can't pack that kind of camera-ing in a small package, it violates the laws of optics. (That said, there might be some cool stuff coming eventually with thin film wave guid lensing).
I think the only surviving camera model (unless you’re a serious photographer) will be the camera-printer “instamatic” model. I just saw one the other day, tiny, basic, but prints out a 2x3 photo instantly. That’s exactly what a lot of people want, just a little physical souvenir to give to the subject of the photo.
Other than that, my only difference is that I’d say that the US will remain a superpower...if we get rid of Obama in this election, wipe up every trace of his foul passage through our national history, and go on with our lives.
I agree. I don't care how many megapixels a camera has if it has a crappy little lense. With cameras, optics are everthing.
I shoot RAW images, camera phones can’t handle RAW format, can they?
He just forgot to mention one of the innovations that goes with the switch from film to digital: the development of new flat surface lens mounting systems.
This lets you have an array of real optical lenses to gather the image for your phone or tablet's sensors.
With a big enough sensor, eventually this will get you to what you can do with a DSLR.
