532155 2007-03-12 19:11:00 Yes, the next Jpeg perhaps, but not for High Def photos. Its good, but its not perfect. Personally, I'll stick to JPGs / PNG's myself for now :) Chilling_Silence (9)
532156 2007-03-12 19:57:00 I always though that PNG was supposed to be the next Jpeg

No - PNG is an open improvement on GIF which technically is copywrited to Compuserve - as I understand it they gave up since is became so widely used.

532157 2007-03-12 23:24:00 HDPhoto is more a niche market than a JPG killer if you ask me... JPG would be a hard horse to knock over! Chilling_Silence (9)
532158 2007-03-12 23:35:00 M$ will just not stop that innovation. Will they give details of the format freely... mind you, they would do that so that people can use the format and then tighten it up once the format has started to get traction. dolby digital (5073)
532159 2007-03-13 01:42:00 From Webster's Dictionary

VISTA:
Etymology: Italian, sight, from visto, past participle of vedere to see, from Latin vidEre -- more at WIT
1 : a distant view through or along an avenue or opening : PROSPECT
2 : an extensive mental view (as over a stretch of time or a series of events)
This indicates Vista is a view (or picture) albeit ,according to 2: an extensively mental view.
HD Photo is intend to compress images (or views) so they are smaller and more easily used. Perhaps someone should combine the two to shrivel the bloat out of the os and save it as vista.hdp which could be small enough to be distributed on a floppy disk.
Of course, if the thing is an illusion and not a real view, that would not work. GIGO

532160 2007-03-14 07:46:00 The question is - Will camera manufacturers take it up and run with it? Most of my pictures are in JPG because thats the way the come off the camera. I would say thats the way for most people (I'm talking the less PC enlightened people of the world).
Will there be an X-Lens? God forbid.
