Look out D-slrs

In November Sony is coming out with the ultimate prosumer camera. It is the Cybershot DMC-R1. The cmos is the size of 35mm film. It has 10.2 mega pixels. It has up to 5X zoom. It shoots at 24mm min to 120mm at the max zoom. It has an iso of 200 to 3200. Could this be the the beginning of the end for D-slrs. This was my prediction to Lori Grunnin. She wouldn't grace me with a response cause she was running on about how many pixils are too many- the crazy eights. I say removable lenses damage the cmos or ccd with dust and the advance of cameras would be so the need for removable lenses would be useless for the most part. Hear me Kidpeatmoss! So you know what to do with all those expensive lenses. The next three years will tell!!! $999 retail how about that.

Good luck with an anemic 120mm. That's just a little over 2X

People will be saying 'Where's the beef?' It is a long way from 'the ultimate prosumer camera'. Why doesn't Sony build DSLRs? They don't know how. You apparently have a limited understanding of photography, but I'm sure it is sufficient for your needs.

Hey little guy. I predate color film and my first camera was a Kodak Brownie. I have been in the business long enough to call you honey child. I thought color film and slides were the cats meow. I am projecting the future of photography as I have seen it pass. I see current rapid technological advances make cameras extinct in less than two years. What I say will come to pass. Dslrs will shortly have for the most part served thier function in the evolution of technology. Sure, I still use 100mm film with my Hasselbad. But that doesn't mean it is not going extinct with film getting harder to find. So when I se such excellerating forces occurring, I can make a reasonable hypotheisis punk!! I am old and tired. This is my last remark to you.

The demise of film is neither news nor projection. I would

be more impressed if you hadn't labeled a 120mm, nonremovable, lense camera as the ultimate prosumer camera.

I'm not yet into film myself, but did you really mean 100mm film? The only reference I find using Google to that film size is film used for xrays. All Hasselblad references are talking about a 100mm lense.

I'm sure many photographers will be highly amused by your prophecy that cameras will be extinct in two years.

Read it again

Are you illiterate. Read it again from the beginning very slowly. I apologize. I didn't know you had reading comprehension problems. Yes they do make 100mm film for photographs. 50mm and 35mm. They use it , we'll used to use it for finely detailed photos for art and artifact records. They also had 110mm for prosumer cameras.

Busted!

I checked with a film expert. He says there is, and was, no such thing as 100mm film in photography. He tells me there is 120mm and 150mm, but not 100mm. This confirms what I saw when I examined Kodak's product list. No 100mm film.

So, I conclude that your knowledge of film photography is on a par with your knowledge of digital photography. It needs a little more development if you get my drift.

Look like a war, here , hah?

Never mind. Just curious how good Canon 5D will be. Does it worth the money to spend for the full-frame ? Wait for your comment, Kidpeat !
