Game Changer? From which game? We already can see where pro cameras will go, the Sony's are giving a hint, but are just the beginning.
1) Sensors will get better, IQ, resolution, low light. Canon is behind here.
2) Cameras will get smaller. Canon is behind here.
3) AF will get better. Much better.
4) Cameras will become / displace video cameras at the consumer level (likely not the other way around)
5) Cameras will have more computer in them ... wifi, gps, touchscreen, etc. will all be standard
We will "soon" have a small camera, 65+ MP resolution, low noise high ISO, GPS, WIFI, massively awesome AF, high res fast movies. It will be small, light, and put the 1Dx to shame with performance. This is NOT a game changer camera, its simply where the tech is going.
Game changers?
1) Interface. Can we make it easy for photog novices to have similar level of control over their output as pros? Can we make it easier for pros to get more keepers? Creamy bokeh background portraits every time, or flip a switch and razor sharp portraits? Maybe not this exact example, but, easier to take awesome pictures interface.
2) Lenses. I agree with some earlier posters, the camera will be here. There will still be competition and room in the lens department. Canon glass is currently an advantage. ... but note the ease of manual focusing and lens adapters sony has brought to market now makes legacy lens a bit more competition for canons newer lenses .... Current L glass is also big and heavy. If canon churned out some smaller and lighter apsc / m mount type lenses, that were as good optically as their top end L glass (lighter, not as weather proof maybe) and a camera could use either the full frame L glass or the newer cheaper lighter glass, that could be a game changer, allowing easy entry into great lenses, and step up path to Pro weather sealed glass. EOS M showed the possibility of great cheap light glass, but, was almost a separate system that didn't leverage older L glass well.
3) Get there first .... well, would game change the market. Think if Canon partnered up with Sony, got exclusive sony sensors and miniturization, put their glass and user interface experience / experience with what pros really want .... think small sony nex full frame with canon interface and canon glass natively. Could game change / disrupt the market. Eos-NEX version 3 ....
4) Of course, all of this becomes moot if I get a 110MP 16mm to 500mm F1.2 razor sharp camera with awesome AF built into my android phone.
