Default If video replaces still cameras

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.

How were you going to print those videos? You are surely not thinking of
single frames from today's video cameras?

In any case, there's plenty for room for both still and movies. They do
two different jobs.

I think astrophotography will last a bit longer than landscapes in that
case. But it;'s a very big (and unlikely) if.

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.

What makes you think that still photography is endangered? My impression is
that more people are taking still photographs now than ever before.

What is already happening is that first P&S and now some DSLRs are
adding the ability to capture HD digital video streams as well as take
12+ Mpixel stills. I'd be tempted to have that facility in an SLR.

You never know when you might see something that will video with far
better results than a still photograph. The crossover is going the other
way - imaging devices are adding video modes as an optional extra.

I doubt that video will replace still camera's. There are overlapping goals
between video and still camera. Both can tell a story, but still camera's
capture the emotion of an instant videos the emotion events separated
in time.

Film is a media that can now essentially replaced now by digital media.
For a couple generations film was the media used by photographers
because it was the only thing available that could inexpensively store
that much information.

Dark room skills have been replaced by programming skills. My old
college physics teacher was a master in the darkroom, watching him
print an image was ballet of real-time editing as the paper was being
exposed, waving his hands (literally) playing with contrast and exposure.

If he were still alive he would embrace the digital still camera.

which branch of still photography will be the last to succomb?


Perhaps landscape but I think that it will not happen. Already
we can display a landscape and zoom into the image revealing
ever so much more detail. A few folks have posted billion pixel
images. What will landscape photos and macro images be like when
a digital camera starts taking billion pixel images with a dynamic range
+/- 4 stops over the current images.

It is not so much of what we have lost but how much we will
gain with the new technologies

Two megapixels is fine for emails & family snaps so it could replace a
lot of still cameras but not all.

There are already medium format CCDs being used in video in scientific
applications.
