You may see the current crop of DSLRs disappear years from now. But
you definitely won't see them replaced with P&S. Not if any serious
sports photographer wants to keep their job. But you'll see
convergance, which you're already seeing. DSLRs that have live-view,
HD video recording, etc. Things that were first introduced in P&S and
can be applied to a DSLR. Hell, you may even see electronic shutters
although those compromise image quality so maybe not.


You may see options for it, just like you can shoose live view and
contrast detection focusing or the optical viewfinder and phase
detection focusing.

But if they can
figure out how to do them without compromising image quality, then why
not?


That's the big issue. D-SLR owners are less willing to compromise on
image quality, which is inherent in electronic shutters.

Where on earth did you get this nonsense?


Just because you don't know something doesn't make it false. The fact
is that if you take two sensors, one that has an electronic shutter
and one that does not, the one that does not will give you better
performance. It's because of the additional space taken up on the
substrate for the electronics needed for the electronic shutter. That
allows less room for light collecting pixels. If/when they put
sensors with electronic shutters that don't rob it of light
sensitivity you'll see them in more widespread use on high-end
cameras.

They already have them in P&S cameras that don't compromise anything in
image
quality. High-speed full-frame captures up to 1/40,000 of a second without
any
scanned bands of the sensor being read off the chip, as used to exist in
all
DSLR electronics. See this photo for DSLR sensor readout technology at
work
with high-speed objects.

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/ch...ut_anomaly.jpg

It's not bad enough that focal-plane shutters have their own
image-distorting
problems, but many of their sensors have this problem too.

The curved bars are the propeller being slowly scanned electronically in
horizontal banks across the sensor. That doesn't happen in any P&S cameras
(that
I know of).

You people invent the silliest things to perpetuate on the net. No doubt
due to
your experiences with the lame electronic architecture and hardware of
your
DSLRs. You need to get out more and get away from that ancient camera
design.

I wonder what other technology you're going to steal from P&S cameras to
try to
make your DSLRs fully functional one day.

You talk as if DSLRs and P&Ss are some sort of competing armies, fighting to
the death. This is nonsense. Camera companies are not stupid. The
appropriate technology is used in the appropriate place. As technology
advances camera design will change in the interest of improving capture and
image quality (and putting money into the manufacturer's pockets).

Wow. Thanks to this post, I expect to see all those big white and black

Now that they know that a simple P&S will do a better job at capturing
pro
football than their silly SLRs, why would they keep them?


As they improve and as more people realize how much more efficient they
are for
all purposes, then yes you will see D/SLRs disappear. Just as you saw all
view-cameras disappear nearly a century ago at all major events.

Get it?


Yeah, sure. Call me when you see a Panasonic FZ28 show up on the sidelines
of a night football game. I shoot HS sports in weak lighting, and I need
to shoot at ISO 6400. Yeah. I get it.


You are obviously not a "Real Pro" like the OP. With a little more skill
perhaps he will soon be able to acquire his stunning images (none of which
has ever been seen) without a camera at all!

No, but typical amateur-photographer consumers, are.

Camera companies are all too willing to provide what those people will buy. Even
better if the camera company can produce something for $10 and sell it for $1000
dollars. As in the case of most DSLRs and all their required accessories. They
could sell any DSLR glass, L-Glass included, for under $100 a shot. But you? Not
knowing a thing, gleefully hand out your dough, just for the social-prestige of
promoting an antiquated technology. And attempting, but failing, to look like a
"Pro".

Ain't this fun.

Spoken like a true non believer, he has them of course, lots of them but he
does not have to justify himself by showing them here. ;-)

You can have my gun, but you'll have to pry my dslr from my cold,
dead, hands.


No problem, it probably wouldn't fit in the casket anyway.
