Something I've been wishing for, for a number of years!

But how much will it cost?

Thanks Don,

I was at the CES Show in Vegas this week. I can say that 4K screens dominated the show floor; and the technology went beyond such as Sharp's 85-inch 8K screen.

Over at Canon, I caught Laforet's presentation. Toward the end he observed (poorly paraphrasing) that he sees a shift in photography - as the resolution and quality of video as a string of RAW's emerges, you'll work in video and select your still shot from the sequence.

Just waiting on RAW and some kind of inheritance or something. :biggrin:

WOW! (and ditto Morris' comment. Especially the inheritance part. :biggrin: )

Another step in the right direction, I think 4k is something you'll see in the mid-range DSLRs in 2-3 years.
