Now, knowing nothing of Physics, and having no degrees, means that I can't argue about what can and can't be done today (well I could cut and paste from Wikipedia, but that would be pointless). But let's suppose that a new material was discovered/invented that had properties far superior to glass. And this material was unbelievably (by today's standards) efficient at collecting light. Wouldn't this change the rules slightly as far as lens size?Also, the title of this thread was "Death of the DSLR", are you saying that there will always be DSLRs? Of course there will be top of the line Cameras that most people can't afford, but will they be DSLRs as we know then today?Incidentally, I actually never intended to comment much in this thread, I just thought that others might find the article interesting.</blockquote>
