There is a lot of speculation the of chimeras: "chimeraon In Greek mythology, or, as in Latin, Chimaera is a monstrous creature made of the parts of multiple animals." (wikipedia) that may be announced at Photokina.
This are creatures like he ZD that may appear in the USA, this monstrous creature has the head (Delsa) of a MF and a body smaller than a Canon. Interesting.
What about a rumored Hasselblad with a square sensor and new line of lenses that may have no shutter system at all but would "expose" by signaling the sensor when to accept the next 1/125th of a second. Such a beast would not only be made of parts of multiple animals, but may be a new species all together.
In my opinion technology will change completely the way cameras may look in the near future.
So help me speculate..
-- The "R" as in Reflex will be a thing of the past, like film. No smoke and mirrors needed in "The Future". If electronic viewfinders are not yet totally accepted now (the are in point and shoots) they will be soon.
-- Retrofocus. If there is no mirror box lenses don't have to have a retrofocus formula and will be much smaller. (The example is a Leica M lens compared to the equivalent Canon)
-- Foveon type. This will make the sensor smaller and more efficient, and the color truer.
-- Shutters will not be leaf type or film plane but virtual exposure via signaling the sensor, so sync speeds may go up (don't know, may be) and cameras will be smaller and with much less moving parts (or almost no moving parts). -- Mirror up type --
Is this the revival of medium format, or is the era of Nikon/Canon and smaller??
