Article on technology to expect in future.

This has been posted in the Leica forum, but I thought it may interest

the general EOS audience, given the indicative comments by Chuck Westfall.

Chuck doesn't say much except to comment that perhaps the megapixel race is over for small digicams and better battery technology (H fuel cells) is on the way. Nothing at all related to EOS DSLR technology from him. No hints. :(

I hoped for years that the digicam race would focus on aspects like lens quality and low light performance, but it always seemed to revolve around the megapixel count. Fortunately, handling extremely large pictures files isn't convenient for the casual user thus the mp race had to slow down.

 

The race, of course, continues but may lead in a few years time to a pocket size digicam with a large and sensitive sensor and a fast, high quality lens.

I am still waiting for the flying cars that were supposed to be here by the 1990's.
