Predictions for 2010 - a blogosphere roundup

Yes, the new year is here, get used to typing and saying 2009 2010! So now it is time to round-up some of the predictions for 2010 posted around the photo-blogo-sphere. Be sure to bookmark it all and revisit on January 1st, 2011 to see who is Edgar Cayce ;-) We break them in three loosely-coupled groups.

Gear-priority predictions
Vincent Laforet's predictions serve ...video on a tablet :)

Photoxels predicts more DILs! DIL? Read on to find out - some call them EVILs.

PC World, the online magazine, has their CES priority camera predictions, grouped in six categories. I can see EVILs from my house! (via Insider's Weekend Watch).

More EVILs are in the pipeline is also in the agenda at Digital Camera Review who will be at CES 2010 with all their network of websites.

Staying at CES 2010, Photography Bay has published their show preview, with a paragraph for each of the major manufacturers.

Photography-priority predictions
Kirk Tuck has ten predictions that cover photography and surrounding areas. SLR Traditionalists may start crying if #5 comes true :)

Ten solid predictions can be found at JMG Galleries. Some bold, some logical, some both! Noise, film, trade-shows, micro-stock, DSLR-video, and more are included! And here is a bonus set for social media from a photographer-priority perspective.

Lighting Essentials does not want to make predictions, but eventually gives in :)

Photo Focus invites Debbie Downer over and predicts at least one major camera company to go out of business.

Tech predictions
And now some tech predictions. Engadget has a funny take on 2010, including idolatry, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos and more.

Apple fans may be interested in this prediction soup at the unofficial Apple weblog (TUAW).

More tech predictions, this time by tech gooroo Louis Gray who sees big acquisitions.

We stay in gooroo land with Paul Buchheit, one of the Google stars and founder of Friendfeed, looks at the predictions he made in 2000 and how they turned out ten years ago. How many did he get right?

How can you beat the Guru Predictions?
Just take a look at the cameras of 2009 and predict that each model will be replaced a year later by a similar model. You will likely beat all the expert gooroos :)
