People can scoff at this line of reasoning, thinking that the tiny optics of a smartphone could never replace a “real” full-frame ILC camera, but if we look at another technology, that of computers, there was once a time when the PC was considered merely a “toy” that could never challenge the vaunted mainframe computer, but now mainframes and minicomputers have pretty much been supplanted by the technology that was once the little PC. Little technologies grow upward; big ones never grow downward.

I kind of understand this reasoning but yesteryear’s mainframes are just today’s server farms in the “cloud”, and the clients are not constrained in some institution like a lab or university, but in almost every person’s hand.

Everything is the same, it just got faster & bigger.

Following that reasoning and adapting it to the camera market would just mean that full-frame will get more popular (it already entered price points that are attractive to people who previously would never consider a full-frame system), and maybe even Fujifilm can finally grab some market share with their huge monsters.

Not only small smartphones are getting better, but ILCs are also getting better.
