In my naive way I'm trying to get people to say what they think about what is, and isn't, possible.I've found over the years in forums, that if you just ask a question, you don't always get an answer. But if you behave a bit like a Troll, people get a little irritated and actually post interesting responses. In the end I tend to learn more than by just asking the question.|=)|I have no idea where Cameras are heading, only the Manufacturers will decide that. I suppose that they could respond to pressure from Consumers, but only if it affects their profits. A couple of questions spring to mind:Does Cannon/Nikon/et al, actually need to produce better P&S type cameras, or do they make enough profit from their top end lenses and cameras? And on Optics; if a new (yet to be discovered) material can gather all of the visible spectrum of light, in a much reduced size. And if everything that the Human Eye sees, is faithfully reproduced. What would be the advantage of increasing the size of this new "Lens"?</blockquote>
