Fujifilm lens roadmap 2014 (update)
#3
Quote:They do take their products seriously, unlike Nikon i.e. which don't have high speed wide angle in DX. On the other side, DSLR and APS-C is going to become history anyway, when a manufacturer focuses more on FF.
 

I don't believe so.

For the foreseeable future, I don't see why FF would dominate the market.

Sure, the IQ and DOF is a bit better. However, we have long past the point of "good enough". When you look at the IQ you get from a cell phone, it's sufficient for most people out there (believe it or not).

Sony's 1 inch sensor today has very high IQ for its size. In good lighting I challenge anyone to truly see the different between a RX100 III and FF at a reasonable print size (say A4).

 

Now, the larger the sensor, the larger the lenses. This is physics. Not everybody wants to carry large lenses for no visible IQ improvement. How many people truly print big? Very very few. Most people look at pictures on their screen and very often they're downsized.

 

Overall MF gear will always be larger and heavier than FF which will be larger and heavier than APS-C, etc.

 

If anything, I believe the future is in non interchangeable cameras: small sensor with super zoom lenses and DOF applied in post-processing. Tech will be so good that even a small 1/1.7 sensor will provide fantastic IQ (not now, not tomorrow, but in several years certainly). The software will be so good that it will apply blurring after the shot and people won't be able to tell the difference with the real thing.

I'm sure it's bound to happen.
