Thom Hogan on modular, programmable cameras of the future
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.
