If video does replace still cameras for still photography, I wonder
which branch of still photography will be the last to succomb?
Possibly it will be high resolution landscape work that will be the
last to see the use of still image cameras. It's also possible that
a resurgence of film, perhaps black and white, will do something to
ensure the life of still photography.


The moment captured is one of the dimensions of photography. Video
will gain popularity but it's a different form of art, not a
replacement for it.


Anyone who thinks that video is going to replace still photography needs to
make a poster from an HD frame and see how he likes the result.
