Disintermdiation

This post probably doesn't belong here, since it's really about digital: specifically my prediction that the Internet will render prints obsolete, and with them the need for mass market dedicated cameras. Aside from some niche uses, most people will take pictures on their smart phones, and upload them directly to a website, such as Facebook, where they will be viewed; the images will never be printed from beginning (capture) to end (viewing). Smart phones are better positioned to do this than cameras since they are already connected to the net. If the highest resolution needed is that needed to view a picture on a large screen TV, then a 20+ MP dedicated camera looses out to an 8MP smart phone. I give the mass market segment of the dedicated camera industry another 10 years.
