Pope, tu viu o nome do cara?
Eu postei uma mensagem num forum de fora sobre exatamente o mesmo assunto, vou copiar e colar e voces que se virem pra entender:
Um colega de forum postou isto:
It's gonna happen, phone photography will be the mainstream input into news streams and most other areas of online / electronic image viewing. Which is probably already the case where a small image to be viewed on a phone, tablet or maybe a monitor is all that's needed.
'Proper cameras' will still have a place for instances where a large, very high definition image is needed, although they could be stitched easily enough, so that leaves the art market and the enthusiasts. I can't see the big players investing much research and development money just for that market, I think they'll slowly pull out and small specialist companies will take over manufacturing cameras as we know and love, probably using technology from the restructured big boys.
E eu respondi isto:
The size of the camera market is the same size as the professional image makers - including all the wannabees. And the rest, well, it's the rest.
Flash photographie, sub-marine, macro, sports, studio, professional portraiture, reproduction... you name it - will rest with the doors closed to the smartphone fever. The only activities where I see a smartphone prevail are street photo and tourism. And will prevail more in places where carry a camera is forbiden or socialy disturbing - as you just cant stop people to carry a cell phone, exception made for prisions, bank agencies etc.
Too much ado for nothing.
