Digital Camera Trends, Small Is No Longer Beautiful

In the last decade the leaps and bounds in changing digital camera technology has been unsurpassed

. Although the basic use of a digital camera has not changed that much (with the exception of video), the style , shape and design form has been influenced heavily by the old school of professional photographers.

If we go back a few years now, when digital technology in cameras first really became popular and affordable (I would say around 1997) unless you spend over 3000-4000 on a digital camera you got something with a reaction time that was just too slow when taking spur of the moment shots. It means that traditional SLR cameras still had mass appeal and value. However, with improving technology and reducing costs, it soon became apparent that the digital camera was going to very quickly make film based cameras obsolete.

The development in the design style did not stop; many manufacturers went on a race to try to make the most compact and smallest digital camera (and SLR camera) as this was seen to be part of the main buying criteria consumers wanted.

Thankfully the last few years has seen this daft move halted. We have realised that small is not always beautiful. Many of the new inexpensive digital cameras and inexpensive digital SLR cameras are going back to being quite chunky and a lot more useable for their size.

Where will this trend end? Well I think it is fair to say we have reached a break point with the size of digital cameras and it is not going to be how big or how small they are in future but more about how much they weigh, interoperability with online functions (yes, and that I mean interacting with social platforms right from your camera) and 3D functionality.
