What's the Next Digital Camera Frontier?

[astrostu]

Now that the megapixel war is waning, what do people think the next big digital camera war is going to be about? And if different, what do you think it will be for consumer-level cameras and for pro-sumer/proffessional-level cameras?

I think one of the first ones for the latter should be reducing sensor noise.

I think one of the first ones for the latter should be reducing sensor noise.

Megapixel improvements will continue. PHOLEDs will replace LCDs in screens, viewfinders and displays. Sensors, and DSLRs will finally start to get lighter and more in the size of the film SLRs. Reducing noise will be major and the creation of "engines" and logarithms to improve dynamic range. With the improved quality of PHOLEDs, there will be pressure to improve lens quality too.
