Nokia: digital SLRs are doomed

@Blog

I have been using SLR's for 25 years and for the last 5 years DSLR's, the quality of the photographs was always a contentious issue & photographers claimed DSLR's would never take over from SLR's, 10 years down the road we're getting there now.

You'd have to be mad to say nothing will be superior to a DSLR...on the contrary there are some pretty good devices out there now that are arguably better then DSLR's.

I've seen some stunning medium format pictures that make DSLR's like decidedly mediocre.

In the short term I would agree with you, no camera phone is as good as a DSLR, I wouldnt be so bold to say the same in 3-4 years time.

Technology is reaching a peak and the rate of developments are staggering.

£39 quid to upgrade all my Macs

£25 quid for a single upgrade is quite nice.

My savings come from upgrading all my Mac's at home for £39 quid. That works out to around 8 quid per device, to bring a little more grunt to those older Mac for 8 quid can only be a good thing..

Thank god I have a technet plus account for Windows 7 and the PC's I have.

Mactards?

I thought we were talking about phones here?

I use a Mac and I use a PC, I have an iPhone and I have extensively tested the Storm, the Bold and the 8900 curve.

Why is it somebody always sees a tenuous Mac link and gets in the first "Mactard" blow. the iPhone is a good phone, the Storm is crap. No matter what Computer or OS you use.
