Re: HD Photo to become JPEG XR

[Alexander Georgiadis <georgiadis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some cameras currently give the option of taking each picture in RAW and Jpeg simultaneously. This is perfect for me as  Jpegs  are  good enough 90%  of the  time (but still holding a RAW in reserve). This is where I see XR replacing Jpegs for pros.

I wonder how many existing cameras will get new firmware to allow shooting in XR? And how many will become ''obsolete".

 

Wouldn't the transition be a very slow process anyway? I'm not sure how current web applications could deal with the new format, but in the past it has taken ages for new web standards to replace outdated ones.

And showing their pictures on the web or sending them by mail or MMS is a very important application for many photographers.

On the other hand, I'd think that most pros shoot raw anyway and thus it would mainly be a matter of converting raw or tif files to another jpg-format?
