Have you noticed how much has changed during the last few years in photography? The last 15 years?

So if you were to speculate, where photography would be in let's say another 15 years, what changes do you forecast?

Better IS (VR).
Better sound quality with HD videos from DSLRs.
Better HDR built-in processing.
Incredible 3D processing.
Same old Canon vs. Nikon debate. :P

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Well, for one, cameras won't look anything like they do now, at least for most of the market they won't. Likely there will be new image capture mediums as well butno CF, SD or other cards as it will likely all be inclusive in the cameras of the future. The focusing will likey be tied into your vision thru some sort of glasses & voice prompts will likely control settings the cameras will use...

I'm saying in future that memory cards will no longer be a necessity in cameras. There will be a slot for a memory card, however they are stored in a temp cache memory on the camera before they are wirelessly sent to your home computer.

LOL I was thinking about mega pixels, and where cameras might be rated. Imagine a camera with a something like 1000 MP?

So many different kinds of technology will be available that the term megapixel will be meaningless. We are already seeing this when comparing Foveon sensors to Bayer array sensors.

Before we can go too much higher in resolution lens technology will need to see some significant leaps. We are already at the point that many commonly used lenses cannot resolve as much as the sensor they are used with.

Cameras will no longer be shaped like roll film cameras.

We will be able to install our own choice of operating and processing software in the cameras.

I agree that wireless will be built into the cameras, and most folks will have their photos directly sent to their computer, but pros will still demand some sort of in camera memory system in case something goes wrong with the transmission.

High ISO quality will continue to improve.

Someone will finally add a flash that can be tilted towards the ceiling to a point-n-shoot (should have been done decades ago).

So you think it would be possible to shoot at lets say 50,000 ISO with no evidence of noise? I like that one.
