What's the future of digital slr cameras?

We've heard that megapixels aren't everything.

Will manfacturers start putting larger sensors on digital cameras? Will
this make digital slr's more similar to 35mm photos or do we
need to look to medium or large format cameras with digital backs to
get more of a 35mm equivalent?

Thanks for any & all thoughts!


My opinion is that until the consumers start slapping the camera
makers more mega-pixels is going to be their choice dejour for
sometime. At some point consumers will get tired of the bull,
resolution will settle to the 10MP mark or around there, sensors at
this resolution will get better, different technologies will make
this happen and then finally we will see cameras design with digital
in mind instead of cameras designed with technology based on the film
world. When digital mind sets takes off we will start to see some
very cool features features that a film based camera could never do
things like in camera HDR, I figure we will also see a very big
change in lenses as more of the work is done at the sensor level.
But, I figure we are at least 10 years away from the camera companies
waking up and moving off the MP push.

HDR is no cure for high contrast scenes.
