… if you’re interested in photography. It’s a really good article about the possible future of cameras, by Bill Beebe.

P.S.: Another article from Andy goes into the opposite direction somehow – and yes, it’s easy and understandable to just love that glass that much…

Both are friends of Kirk Tuck – maybe he has some opinion on this as well? Let’s wait and read ;-)

    Thank you Wolfgang. Interesting take by Bill. But much of his argument again is just sensor based. The advantage of Micro 4/3 for me is the size of the camera. Having a full frame Nikon for $1500 is great but the camera will be, big, like the current bloated DLSRs and lenses.

    His comparison of a theoretical full frame Nikon to the Canon 7D is also just a sensor based argument. Do you really think the full frame, entry level DSLR will have the same frame rate and focusing system as their more expensive D800? Probably not. The 7D is a good camera because it has a decent focusing system with 8fps shooting. And yes, if the entry level Nikon Full frame has a great focusing system and 8fps that would deal a huge blow to the 7D and Canon in general, however, it will also decimate Nikon’s own higher priced cameras.

      Good point Andy. It would certainly steal those customers who think that 36MP are overkill anyway, and who just don’t want that much data for each single shot. OTOH, a 24MP full frame Nikon could also steal away some of those A77 customers. Interesting times, definitely.

      Thanks for coming and commenting mate. And greet both Kirk and Bill, should you happen to see them.
