Oh just stop myself.....

I am really interested in mirrorless technology, afterall the mirror has been around for a long, long time. just about as long as the keyboard..... w/ the dual pixel, etc tech the focusing need is rapidly going if not gone. I don't know if the focusing speed on the 70d is "maxed out" or moderated for future enhancements - either way some more CPU power is all that is needed and Moore's law on that has yet to fail.

Kodak was the major benefactor of the film camera boom - film, chemicals, paper - an annuitized revenue stream. Digital P&S crushed film, and jpg & e-mail crushed paper, cameras in cell phones is crushing P&S and actually opened a window for the HERO mini/waterproof still/video cam with space & left over bucks that the cell phone camera provided. Lets face it "kids these days" seem to want to do video. And why not, strap on a Hero, vid some gnarly waves, up load by the time you get back to shore and "cool dude" vs. pics from shore, waiting 1 week to be developed in and printed - an amazing shrink in the delay of gratification. And by the way - I think lots of the Hero shots are indeed way cool.

Now 4k video - basically 8mp stills are at the door step - TVs are coming out w/ 4k resolution. It isn't going to be long before we can have reasonably priced 4k monitors.

6k or 8k video is inevitable. I recall a "shark week" episode of the flying great whites, the guy had a machine the size of a dorm room fridge that could do something like 10 seconds of HD "retro" he would push the shutter and it would then keep the last 10 or 30 seconds - all because the file size/data pipe was soooo big - ha 256g flash card, i am good for a long long time.

There is something romantic about clicking the shutter at the exact right moment - I live for that and have experienced a few times in my life. With data pipes and resolution getting solved, the batches of lenses from all manufacturers are pushing new resolution boundaries, why not experience life at 60 fps, 18mp/8kvideo?

My fantasy is that it comes quickly, in between now and then, I still dream of being able to swap out a sensor for uber low light, to uber high res.

And yes, I will give Canon until the spring to come out w/ a M2 otherwise there is an A7 in my future.
