Not to mention <a href="http://www.dmxzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=14217" rel="nofollow">Adobe's 3D lens and 'computational photography' technologies</a>, which essentially grab as much information as possible and process it to produce a 3D scene around which the camera can move (within reason). The storage requirements will be vast. I was thinking about it yesterday, and I’m not so sure now.

I'd imagine the chances of photographers *ever* requiring that amount of space is slim to none. Video however is an entirely different ballgame, if they record at 25fps at the same resolution that digital photography is being shot.. then... omgwtfbbq i died.
