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. |

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. David |

I think astrophotography will last a bit longer than landscapes in that case. But it;'s a very big (and unlikely) if. -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com |

My impression is that more people are taking still photographs now than ever before. Bob |

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

It's also possible that a resurgence of film, perhaps black and white, will do something to ensure the life of still photography. 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 Dark room skills have been replaced by programming skills.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 w.. |

Two megapixels is fine for emails & family snaps so it could replace a lot of still cameras but not all. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

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