    Stolen from Petapixel: Future of Photography..?
    The clone tool wrote:
    CCD photos will certainly be impossible to use for documentation. It's just
    too damn easy to manipulate them!
    Will a CCD go above 1.3 megapixels? wrote:
    Current best CCD array that I have seen is from Kodak (1.3 million pixel @ $14,000. single quantity price). There is a $25,000. F3 Nikon databack in beta test that uses this. Therefore CCD image capture seems today to be ~100 times lower resolution that today's better 35mm films. Will our lenses let us get to 200 lines/mm?
    Digital point and shoot cameras wrote:
    I think that electronic cameras will break into the "point and shoot" market. Their ease of use and quick turnaround are very appealing to snapshooters. Film will still be popular, probably as popular as now or more so. Computer imaging still doesn't hold a candle to good ol' silver halides for resolution and color. Some computer scanners do a damn good job, but CCD's? Not anytime in the near future
    F*****g sepia tones! wrote:
    Home editing will be very popular among the snapshooters with their CCD still cameras. Don't want ugly uncle Bob draining that beer in the background? No problem! A few keystrokes and it's bye-bye Bob! Auto color-balancing will be handy. People could experiment with toning without all those harsh chemicals. More snapshooters could experience the wonder of black and white. It would be very easy to convert a color picture to black and white. Another keystroke (or maybe keys will be obsolete?) and the print could be sepia toned, for that high-tech old-fashioned look.

    That's funny to read now. These are the same people that said the earth wasn't flat - fools, of course it's flat, everyone knows that!

    in fairness if we started a thread on where we thought photography would be in 20 years... we'd be mostly wrong too.

    That is really interesting to read!!
    Right now, 1 Megabyte of memory costs about $45 retail.
    So a 4GB card would cost around $180,000 . :p
