[QUOTE="matt10nick, post: 63117, member: 9951"] I've read about the Fuji's but have not seen one. I'd be interested in trying one out. From what I've seen, the Fuji is very interesting as are the other mirrorless cameras. The whole mirrorless revolution was bound to happen. There's really no need for a huge mirror in the camera. The only reason we keep it is because people have huge systems they have built around SLRs and they don't want to throw all that glass away. That said, I'm not sure the future will look like the Fuji either. The Fuji is still a ranger finder camera with the associated limitations. EVF will eventually be good enough for most pros. But, that may not be the biggest change. The age of interchangeable lens may only have a decade or two left. The D800 is at 36 MP on a full frame sensor. Today, we have the technology to make about 100 MP 36 mm sensor. If we can push that out to 200 MP, by pushing the pixel pitch just a little smaller, and the sensor a little bigger, digital zoom may eliminate optical zoom. At 200 MP, you can zoom in 4x and still get a 12.5 MP image. That's the equivalent zoom ration of an 18 - 300 mm lens. Put a 1x optical zoom lens on the camera and you have a 32x zoom ratio. I'm not sure where physics will stop us, but interchangeable lenses might one day only be in the hands of those people who play around with old technology. [/QUOTE]
