New photographic technology is tethered to advancements within the AI community, processor speeds and capability, sensor advancements and lastly, what the consumer can afford. As processing speeds increase and resolution advances, the development issue will be heat. A good example is the Canon C200 and C300 video cameras. They operate with a fan to cool the processors. Mirrorless cameras have had their issues with heat due to higher processing speeds and processing volume. Cameras, like everything else, depends on good physics.

Once we get everyone over to mirrorless bodies we can come back to the important business of full-frame vs crop.

This posting is great, a simple question about the next obsession became in itself the obsession. Thanks for thinking about this. BTW I also like filters, it makes me feel better knowing that I can throw them away if they become damaged; the alternative of fixing a $2,000 lens makes it obvious. Lets not start the filter discussion again, it’s like politics; everyone is right (no pun intended)

No - neither do I wish to be argumentative. Really I was suggesting an alternative to filters. Glad to hear you do use lens hoods. I have not considered that lenses might be damaged by too much cleaning, but I have heard that filters, except for those costing as much as a lens, reduce IQ.
When I check ebay or other sites to purchase lenses I sometimes see where the seller says there are scratches, scuffs or marks from over cleaning. I do agree about using quality filters.
I don’t think I have ever seen a photo degraded by use of any filter of poor quality. I would like to sometime see a difference. I am not saying it can’t happen at all. But consider that there are many lenses that are scuffed and scratched, have dust inside or some other optical ailment that will still take beautiful photographs. It is hard for me to think a filter will show much depreciation in image quality.
Have a great day,

He (Rongnongno) is referring to the repeated post topics on here that get very old, pointless and some nearly idiotic. It is sarcasm. And he is right on. Read the thread from the beginning, please!
It may surprise you to know I DID read from the beginning just as I surmise you did. My comment is based only on his word, obsession. Yes I know these topics come up frequently, all of them. But I see nobody obsessed with them.
I appreciate your comment.

So what about post processing vs SOOC? Or digital vs film? Or any "vs"?
I think we've probably run off all the SOOC hold outs ...

What will be the next one?

Hey, how about you take a picture and the camera spits out a print, oh wait that might have been done before.

So who's really winning the "photo contest"?
The photographer or the computer.

Hmmmm. The “rise of the machines”?
Tell your camera to “go out to [GPS Coordinates] and take [n] pictures”. Or run your camera from home with your AI headset. Sit back and have the AI editor crop, sharpen, adjust color and ZAP! All done.
Who needs an actual artist?
