So, I've decided I'm going to take photography a little more seriously as a hobby (which Head-Fi is more than a little responsible for - thanks for getting me involved in another endless money pit hobby!
)
Anyway, my question concerns how much further digital photography can progress. I've got a Sony A700 DSLR with a decent lens and flash, certainly not the end-all when it comes to photography, but I'm unsure how it could get much "better".
When I view the pictures I've taken, they are as close to 'reality' as I've been able to get.
Other than crazy new features like the new 3D type lens/software that Adobe is prototyping or making extremely large prints with very high rez pictures, can/will cameras get much better? That is, in terms of the final product that is produced.
What would be improved? What is lacking in today's DSLRs?
It seems that digital cameras are a technology that is advancing more quickly than most other technologies, but are significant improvements being made or is it basically incremental resolution enhancements?
I'm interested in input from those who actually know what they are doing when it comes to photography. Although I've owned a lot of digital cams (starting with the first Sony Mavica with the 3.5" floppy), I certainly know very little.
