I just wrote this bable on F-Stopper in response to their article on Square Sensors the next big wave. Its what I hope I will be able to use in my lifetime
The possibilities of in camera solutions trumps any mechanical advantages in today's world! The ability to have frame averaging, recording a three dimensional light-field instead of two, post capture re focusing, quantum photography seeing through fog or rain, the ability to capture very low light images without noise or grain.
Hardware technology advancing curved sensors with the addition of ultra thin meta surfaces making lenses 20x thinner and using stacked global sensors to capture the entire frame instantly.
These are the ideas of the near future that will transform photography and video recording in our life-time.
Reducing the weight of a system, making the system faster, being able to shoot in any light, having intelligent capture learning your style and framing the image and capturing it with out you pressing the shutter button is the next great thing. Imagine a 2000mm F2.0 lens as big as a pancake lens that combined with the camera body only weights 500 grams.
Im all for the larger square sensor I own the H6D-100c and always wanted a Square sensor but without the issues of huge heavy glass and without the extreme limitations of burst speed. It's about time companies like Hasselblad took the path and realized that making a new camera system with 10 year old technology is not going to cut it two-three years from now. I digress lenses covering most photographers needs are light weight zooms. 16-24, 24-105, 50,-150 and so on. Long glass is way to heavy as it is made today and having two bodies with two zoom lenses mounted is the ultimate KIT!
