In a recent essay, writer, photographer and Nikon hardware expert Thom Hogan wrote about the current state of camera design.
Since it was first published the essay has generated a lot of feedback and comment, which Thom has used to update the original article. If you’ve not read it yet, it’s well worth 30 minutes of your time.
Hogan’s premise is that cameras are fast becoming computers, at least as far as their internal components are concerned. Yet the external design is still tied to the design choices made in the days of film cameras, and to an extent the days when digital cameras were young and were not yet very computerized.
Colin Mulvany, multimedia producer at The Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Washington, writes a sobering and thought-provoking article outlining his vision of photojournalism in the age of the internet.
His view is simple: photojournalists can cling to their still cameras and remain “purists” – or they can embrace audio and video devices, adding them to what he calls their “storytelling toolboxes”. He’s pretty sure he knows which of the two strategies is going to be most successful in the coming years.
