You are still too much thinking in photo related manufacturers. Think Samsung fun, or Apple fun, HTC fun, or one of the Chinese camera manufacturers if they decide to bring their own designs instead of assembling eventually after they buy a well reputed brand. If you think of camera manufacturers think of Cosina, Sigma, (new) Polaroid, etc. Or Kodak under new ownership and management. When one of these manufacturers decides the time has come to implement totally different technology than what the photomanufacturers bring to us now. What electronics giants will add is integral media and communications modules in one piece of gear. And they do recognize the (latent) market for social media related cameratechnology. The outsiders in the photomarket like Cosina and Sigma may seek their growth opportunities by a new integration philosophy of their current business of photographic components. This could also be a new way for \'classic\' media companies like Kodak or Polaroid who recognize that the new \"film\" is Internet bits.
The lack of a vision on integration from current camera manufacturers is the threat for EOSfun, and other kinds of photofun. But who cares if one of those other companies will lead us to the new level of \"multimediafun\"
Apple buys Lytro, and creates a new camera with infinite focus that can connect to the internet wirelessly. It instantly uploads to the cloud instead of saving to SD/CF cards (no danger in losing images) and updates your FB at the same time while automatically checking in your location. Post processing is done through Instagram so all you have to do is take photos without ever bothering to go to your computer. Just delete the images you don\'t like, or hire SIRI-II (now with Photo Assistant Mode) which will check your images and mark for deletion those that have bad composition/color/levels.
I myself was also actually thinking--in camera manufacturers--that Fuji might be coming up with their new CMOS sensor technology and challenge the IQ and DR of Canon\'s field.
