Could smart lenses contribute to the death of DSLR's?

9 years 8 months ago #387093 by Jennifer Krueger
So I'm looking at some of these smart lenses like the Sony QX100 and QX10 and if I'm understanding some of the stuff I have been reading where the sensor in the lens is more important than the sensor in the body.  Then would this be the technology that could knock the DSLR over?

It is a gadget that looks like fun and will attract members of the opposite sex according to the promotional video  (and I urge you to trust everything you see in Sony promotional videos). Turn up at a wedding with one and just sit back and watch those referrals come pouring in (referrals to the exit door I mean :) ).

I can only presume you're making a funny.

A big funny!  Good idea, but I can only see a dedicated college student using something like this.

An opposite sex magnet. Wow. 

No. So far away from the sometimes maddening DSLR crowd. It is only a lens. Too limited use.

Not going to happen.  It's cool and I'm sure it works, but not very practical for a DSLR killer.

I don't see this going to far, if you going to carry this, why not just have small mirrorless camera?  

Canon 5D Mark II, 30D, 40D, 50 1.2L, 16-35 2.8L Mark II, 24-105 4L IS, 24-70 2.8L, 70-200 2.8L IS, 85 1.8, 4 x 580 EX(II)
