As a real estate photographer I’m forced to rely on HDR instead of expensive and slow to set up strobes for shooting complicated interior photos. I’m hoping hoping for expanded HDR options such as:
1. In camera HDR processing
2. A sensor that you could have a bracketed ISO feature. This would mean that for a single shot, so you would have 3-6 exposures each at a different ISO so the exposure would be bracketed without having to take multiple pictures.

a. Making a small chip will always be cheaper than a big one. So full frame I think will always be relegated to the high end. Big sensor means bigger lens, compact cameras will always have small sensors.

b. Price always goes down, non news.

c. 11+ stops in 5 years. No. Maybe 10-15. Maybe.

d. Yah ISO has been going up a stop every generation or two. That will make sense.

e. This one will come around about the time of 11+ stops of dynamic range. But I think floating point will be more probable.

f. For most companies that don’t have stabilized lenses already that’s probably true. But why would Canon and Nikon change their way? Not in the next 5 years.

g. I think megapixel madness is slowing as we speak. And even if it grows twice as fast we won’t 100Mp in 5 years. Remember we are only talking 3 or so generations over 5 years.

h. Not in SLRs! The bodies would have to get huge! (the size of high end camcorders) to fit 3 full frame sensors and all the prisms needed.

i. I can see this one. Maybe not a coating but some kind of electrostatic screen so the sensor actually repels dust.

j. Maybe in some applications, but I don’t think it will be common. Especially in DSLRs.
