Where Are Digital SLRs Going?

From the moment it was created, photography has been inseparably connected to technology. Born of light-sensitive substances coated on a metal plate and now evolved to today’s CCD and CMOS sensors, photography’s growth has been measured as much by its technological advances as it has by the creativity of its photographers.
This is especially the case today as sensors and memory cards have quickly replaced film as the mediums used to record images. Yet as digital SLRs have become more affordable and included feature sets photographers have come to expect, it doesn’t mean that we’re seeing a slowdown in what cameras can and will offer. Moving well beyond the megapixel wars of recent memory, we’re discovering that new lens, battery and camera designs will deliver amazing capabilities that will improve quality and efficiency.
