After a 50MP camera what is the next breakthrough?

What's next for Canon Cameras?
I am just wondering what people's ideas are of where the future lies in terms of camera technology.

There have been some great viewpoints and features postulated over the past six pages for the direction of future Canon cameras. Over the next decade and beyond, we'll see plenty of incremental evolution and the occasional revolution with the introduction of features not yet invented.

What we have seen over the past few 1-Series & 5D-series updates is size creep. As Canon seek to pack in more functions and features, the bodies have bulked up. I'd like to see some size and weight reduction in future bodies. Personally I would leap at a 1-series level mirrorless body with a supreme EVF. Fast forward a decade and we'll be looking back at the old days when camera bodies actually had mirrors slapping around inside them. How primitive!

Breakthrough?

How about make it like the F-1 camera years ago - with exchangeable viewfinders and exchangeable backs, for the photographer to choose between optical and electronic viewfinder, various sensors for low light or extreme high resolution...

How about a modern 50mm f/1.4 auto-focus lens that doesn't have auto-focus issues and isn't as large as an 85mm f/1.2 or f/1.4???

I want a camera that does not need me to operate anymore.

Something akin to a self-driving car.

So when someone says "you have a nice camera" then it becomes a real complement rather than an insult.

This and the option of a reduced size EOS-3 AF prism to further automate the process.

"Hitler rants about D3x"? In Germany: "This video is not available. Sorry about that." ... btw even selling Hitler's moronic book "Mein Kampf" is still verboten over here, you never know, 60 years of democracy might not have been enough, so don't let's take chances

That's a very good one, you know actual (former?) Canon users made it :->

Wow, it's interesting that an innocuous video like that is banned. It's all in good fun, so I don't see the harm.

BTW, you speak (or type) better English than most Americans ;D

I saw this at EOS HD and seemed funny enough for here. sorry if repost but I think this should be their next breakthrough
