The Sunday Morning Photographer: Rash Predictions

March 14, 2005 | Mark Goldstein | Websites | Comment |

Mike Johnston’s “Sunday Morning Photographer” column appears for the second time this month. In this bonus edition, Mike makes some, long-term predictions about what cameras of the future will look like…

”– First of all, I predict that DSLRs will be an evolutionary dead-end. They may last another six or seven, or even ten or twelve years, but eventually they will fizzle and go away. I’m not trying to be controversial; I really believe they will.

– Second, I think sensors will get smaller, not bigger. That is, they will get smaller than “full-frame,” APS-C, and 4/3rds size, although they may not need to be as small as the tiny 1.1/8” imagers on today’s digicams. But they will be closer to today’s 2/3 size (6.6 x 8.8mm) than to “full-frame” 24 x 36mm.”
