With the advent of more and more sophisticated optics on mobile phones -- some of them offer huge resolutions -- how far will the demise of actual cameras go? Are we looking at the death of compacts and a race for the uitimate DSLR. In five years where will the camera market be?
More to the point, are we looking at the death, or at least the terminal illness, of 'real' photography with substitution by 'selfies', snaps and/or photoconstruction (the creation of an image without any photography (my interpretation))?
I resisted digital photography but in the end I succumbed as I got fed up of stinking of chemicals in the darkroom. Will I get fed up of going out to take actual images in favour of a computer-generated image?
I think not as I am now too old...but the youngsters...who knows?
