Future of the DSLR camera

10 years 8 months ago #292148 by Soccer Mom
Have you thought about how things have changed in the last 10 to 15 years? Cassette tapes, to CD's to MP3 players to iTunes. Once things get into the technology grove and manufactures have figured out ways to reinvent over and over again quickly. Changes spread like fire. Have you thought about DSLR cameras this way? If you notice, they are picking up some momentum with manufactures it seems.

Would you be happy with a camera that's built into your phone, that has the matched performance as your current DSLR?

Hm.... how to put this nicely?

Mobile phone pictures are, almost entirely, of low quality. Even when they're in focus, which they often (almost always) are not. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of phone images I'
ve seen that are worth any attention whatsoever, and that includes images that (for some gawdforsaken reason) are declared "outstanding." I don't know who these people are, but their bar is way too low.

I'm trying to figure out a nice way to start saying, "please stop asking me what I think of your cell phone image. I really don't want to lie."

And those short focal length selfies make your nose look huge. It's really not flattering.

Can't change physics. As good as mobile phone pics will get, the DSLR pics will get better. Bigger sensors, more and better glass to let light in.

No doubt a mobile phone pic might look quite nice in the future. But it won't match DSLR pics from that time.

I don't see a dslr being the size of a compact, that would be odd to me
