Not being an expert on the subject, my guess is that digital cameras have probably crossed the chasm but are still fairly early in the stage of adoption. Is there empirical evidence to support that digital cameras are beyond the bowling alley and showing revenue growth tantamount to a tornado?
LOL, LOL, LOL.
First, let's all understand that this question by our most esteemed Merlin, originates from a guy without a cell phone. <g>
Seriously, I'm no camera buff either Mike. BUT.......the Peter Lynch mode of looking around shows that nearly everyone has a digital camera, or is getting one. Also, I came across an article that suggested digital camera sales will outstrip 35mm sales next year, or so I recall. Also, I see now that AOL has, in addition to its "you've got mail" site, now features another site...."you've got pictures". This digital photo thing is accelerating, and my gut instinct says we are thru the bowling alley and in or about to tornado.
Moreover, this digital thing extends to digital video cameras. On vacation in Hawaii, I saw a guy filming the sunset from Kona on a new Sony digital video camera. We couldn't see the sun, but with his new camera, he could zoom way way way out and both see the sun and film it. Very cool. But get this.....using digital technology, he can take any frame of the video, and make a digital snapshot too. IOWs, both still and motion camera, all in one.
