What do you think will be the next great leap in photography technology?

Post-shot Focus adjustment.

Chuck Westfall had mentioned this innovative technology which Canon is working on since 2 years ago !

HDR doesn't really expand the range of the sensor. It compresses a wide range of exposure data. I dunno if/when we'll ever see that in a camera.

It's interesting how many want bigger and bigger. Am I the only one looking to get smaller. I hate, absolutely hate, dragging around huge heavy bags. It is so old school and I have been doing it for 30 years and am tired of it. I would rather see the noise problem solved completly so that we can have 1DsMkIII technology in a package that will fit in a pocket. Don't give me bigger sensors, give me smaller sensors that have the characteristics of bigger ones.

Maybe it's time for these bio-chips to take off. Motorola has their new display based on bio-technology. Maybe they could turn that around and make a sensor that works like the human eye further upping the pixel count and resolving power and reducing the noise.

Bio-nueral circuitry.







oh, wait, that's 24th century technology on the USS Voyager.
:p

Ya beat me to it, yew arse!

One thing I forgot to add was the hope that either a new shutter design or a move to an electronic shutter allows for significantly higher flash sync speeds. I see no reason why we shouldn't expect at least 1/1000s sync speed.

Exactly!

In-camera HDR?

Entry level SLR's handling ISO 1600 like ISO 100

*dreams*

I've got to believe that it can't be too much longer before we see in-camera HDR imaging. Your thoughts?

Gotta be DR. (HDR by another name)
The resolution has gone far enough (21MP is enough IMO) we don't want ot have to do HDR we want really cool wide DR (and 16bit obviously) but there you are I think the next big leap wil, be in DR

Auto composition!

The camera rotates 360 degrees to correct your composition.

HDR really isn't a big step forward. I mean it's here today. Adding a few more bits in really isn't a major advancement.

If a sensor could encompass a wider DR , say 20 stops, I reckon that's a major advancemnet!

Any one see that lens thing with Adobe. Bug eye lens effect where you can blur what you want, focus what you want, move images around, etc.
