Hey Sammy, don't give Nikon any ideas because some of the theoreticians who spout around these forums would happily accept a cheap camera and pay for 1000 shots up-front because for them a thousand clicks would last a lifetime.
Nikon wouldn't necessarily start the ball rolling...I can see the ad campaign though
The BRAND-X PR-1000 - Why waste money on pictures you'll never take?
The BRAND-X PR-1000 - Rewarding the superior photographer.
PR standing for Progressive Recording....Internally PR will be code for Perpetual Rental. Marketing wouldn't approve of that leaking though...and I'm sure the CEO would not appreciate references to a cut and run strategy to cash in on the brand while running it for long term profitablility.
And don't knock us old timers because it could be argued that we invented stuff that lasted a lifetime whereas today's sad generation (it seems to me) can't get beyond inventing throw-away goods, upgrades and obsolescence.
Sorry no insult intended. I'm no spring chicken myself.
But I enjoyed your parallel universe story because this old timer was brought up on science fiction.
Sci-fi serves a social function as a warning of the potentials of the misuse of science and technology. Of course reality unfolds such that many of these lessons turn out to be nothing more than misplaced anxiety...but that's not true for everything.
