Default 2030 before affordable fullframe bodies

Keep dreaming as long as folks dish out 7000+ dollars to take snaps of cute
little mikey running around the back yard Full Frame cameras will continue
to sell at such prices.

And you call yourself "Super Troll???"

You are far too kind to yourself.

That was lame.

I doubt that...
BUT...I would bet that by then, the term "digital" will no longer be a
"prefix."
They will simply call them "cameras" because nearly all cameras will be
digital.

-This would be similar to what used to be widely referred to as "touch-tone
phones."
While they are still called this sometimes on those annoying menu lists
while waiting on hold, people no longer feel the need to distinguish between
rotary dial phones and touch tone.

AFAIK there are still half a million people or so in the continental
United States on dial-only CO service. This is convenient to remember
because big companies still usually provide a human default interface
for these-or people who pretend they are-so if the phone menu gets you
nowhere try pretending you have a dial phone.

That is true, but irrelevant to my point, which was simply that by 2030, I
believe digital cameras will be so dominant that people will simply call
them "cameras" rather than "digital cameras."

The "prefix" will be used for the reverse...as in "film cameras."
