OK, here's a question: in 10, 25, 50 years, whatever, do you think that cameras will have enough intelligence to focus and expose better than humans, even experienced photographers? I'll assume that composition is left to the person (for now). Of course, it's also possible that the cameras will simply capture so much information that these settings will be essentially irrelevant.
