...killing off "single purpose" cameras?

Well this is just AI painting.
What could potentially kill (mainstream, see below) special purpose cameras is a completely different technique (also developed by nVidia):
1) A mediocre camera (aka cell phone) takes a picture. No optical zoom, bokeh, great composition, no nothing
2) The cell phone uploads the photo to the cloud
3) A (el cheapo but still paid) very advanced AI service uses the mediocre photo to create a great looking one, indistinguishable of one made with a very expensive camera
4) The photo returns to the phone, where it can be shared on social media.
Note: I mean *mainstream* cameras like Sony A7 series, Canon Rs, Nikon Zs... The very high end cameras like the Phase One, other MF's, REDs, Sony VENICEs will still be around longer.

I always drive using Waze, not only for navigation but *very specially* because of speed traps, jams, detours, etc.
I'm even a Waze traffic data contributor. That means that I report blocked streets, edit road modifications, etc.

I spent an unpleasant hour at the doctor's today, while he and a nurse tried to get the wax out of my ear. Ordinarily, it's quick and simple. Not today. I was right at my pain limit, when he said the last bit was too far in for him to keep working at.
I think this is going to be a good investment.

Did you know that, according to some, the world ended in 2000, but we were way to busy with mundane things to notice?

For my 12th birthday, my parents gave me a Kodak Instamatic 100, altogether with a box full of flash cubes !!
Boy, did I enjoy that little marvel.
Today, while cleaning the attic I found just one box of Ektachromes, and scanned some of them.
Just some random unimportant shots...
Deep emotion...
BTW, I'm the one in the center of the first photo.

He was a soldier.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa's fate.

No he was extremely stubborn.
He refused to have a phone.
He refused to have a TV
He refused to die in WWII

So do I, the only camera I tested (*) with enough diopter adjustment for my eyes is... TADAAA!! My mirrorless Sony A7C.
(*) I did not test every possible camera/lens combination, there might be others with the same or even better diopter adjustment range.

My grandpa long time refused to upgrade his T model, because he didn't see any advantages of having a gas pedal...
He said things like "feet don't have the necessary touch"...
Same kind of argument.

Looks like your topic has become one for Guns and Ammo magazine. Or if someone posts that they bring along a 155mm Howitzer we can move it to Field Artillery Magazine.
Thermonuclear warhead anyone ...?
