What do you think it'll be?

I was thinking how a lot of people are moving to DSLR's even if they never buy another lens for it. the popularity is increasing for better performance etc.

so whats the next trend to come out? 3d togging? or is the whole you have to wear glasses for the full effect too much?

Totally agree its now more accessable than ever and it will continue to go that way. Personally can't see more people moving to DSLR from a compact as the compacts are getting very good some with even changable lenses which for most consumers is going to more than they need. The very nature of the compact makes it a better camera for the average consumer over a DSLR where photos only need to be acceptable not extraordinary.

Those that see this as a serious hobby or pro will obviously look at the higher end of the market where most DSLR's are situated.

So it's been around for years and not taken off.

Longer than that - anyone who went to the Muybridge exhibition at the Tate last year could have seen 3D photos from over 130 years ago... it didn't take off then - and the modern ones don't look any less rubbish...


As for the future - I'd expect low & mid-range DSLR's to disappear to be replaced by mirrorless (because, apart from anything else, the average user, and just about everyone under 30, is totally accustomed to using an LCD instead of an optical viewfinder...). But before that, compacts will virtually disappear because of cameraphones getting better and more ubiquitous...
 
I'm waiting for someone to invent the camera that has a phone function. Be much better at taking photos.

I hope not! Lazy eye already means I can't see 3D films, kind of worried that so many appear to be "IN 3D! 2D showings in select theatres", I hope photography doesn't join them.
 
future of photography....safe for time being.

The method of capture is going to change though and I don't see everyone heading to DSLR. On the contrary. Those little camera phones that many here like to belittle are going to be the weapon of choice for more and more folk. Their quality will increase and the post processing you will be able to do in the device will get better and better. I suspect DSLR's will go the way of medium format film camera's eventually. Just getting used by specialists in certain areas.
