    I guess it wont be long and 2TB will be considered small…

    5TB memory cards for your 100Mega Pixel camera, coming to a not too distant future near you

    There’s a lot of errors on it. Look at the CD on the far right, according to the table, it holds 7mb.

    Note: I think megapixels will remain stable for a while, save professional DSLRs. There’s a major disadvantage for jamming all those pixels in: noise. Sensors haven’t changed in size, so each photoreceptor needs to get smaller, and smaller, resulting in fewer photons hitting it. There are two fixes, longer exposure time (which sans tripod often isn’t an option anyways), or electronic signal boosting, which can increase noise.

    This is why my older DSLR runs neat little circles around most point and shoots, that and better glass. We’ll see what the future brings though.
