That's right. I got to talk to a production president of some kind for Nikon here in Japan about a year ago and he told me that he thought the future of cameras ten to twenty years out, would be lensless machines that network a coordinate position wirelessly and utilize micro-lenses scattered all about in order to "digitize" a real 3D "photograph" of the scene. I guess detachable self-contained wireless lenses are one step in that direction. The "future" that Nikon man saw certainly doesn't sound very fun to me tho. It sounds kinda spooky to me. But 20 years ago if someone told me that the future contained a reality in which everyone carried telephones with them everywhere they went and spent more time texting than talking with others face to face and that these devices were trackable to within a few feet (besides doing hi-fi stereo, video rec/play, still photography, voice recording, and etc. etc.) I would have thought that was "Book of Revelations" grade spooky. Yet here it is and people think it's just as normal as can be.

Well it all depends what do you define as PRESENT? Present time, when we talk about photography, are mobile phones with integrated tiny lenses plus some small compact cameras with tiny sensors. But present time for us, is neither of that, it's mostly DSLR, couple of RF, big lenses and couple of high quality EVIL systems.
So while that Nikon guy might be correct about his fantasies, this doesn't mean, that photography for "photographers" will look anything like that. I don't think that the fundamentals of photography are going to be much different in 20 years.
