I have two predictions on what 2010 will bring that I wanted to share with you as we are about to close the book on 2009:
1. 2010 will be coined the “Year of the Tablet” as different hardware and software companies offer a new platform and delivery system for the media. This will happen only if print publishers get their act together (this would be a minor miracle given their total ineptitude to date) but I’m cautiously optimistic that we may just witness a noticeable revival of the print industry as it finds a way of delivery that is not dependent on decimating forests.
There have been many rumors, slipups of some of the major print powerhouses getting ready to provide content for an unnamed “Apple Tablet” or “iSlate” - I’ve heard rumblings from The New York Times, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, Wired, GQ and others that their teams were approached by Apple more than 6 months ago…
Apple is not alone in getting tablets ready… Yet they are in a perfect position to capitalize on the print industry’s weakness right now - and become the GO TO provider for print content as they have done with the music industry (remember how they revitalized the ailing music industry? When was the last time you purchased a CD? I predict that they will do the same with print media and that we’ll be saying the same thing about purchasing a newspaper or magazine 3-5 years from now…)
Just this past week - I was making a paper mache volcano with my 5-year-old son that called for us to use newspaper and aluminum foil to make a foundation for the paper mache mix we had… I realized that I could not find a single piece of newspaper in our house. Not a single sheet of newsprint! Sure we have hundreds of magazine pages - but a quick unofficial poll around the house filled with six 16-34 year olds made it clear that NO ONE under 50 in our family reads the physical newspaper anymore. Most read it and increasingly magazines as well - online. I myself made the difficult move of canceling my New York Times subscription 8 months ago as I never read the print edition anymore - by the time it arrived on my doorstep I had already read the news more than 12-18 hours before on NYTimes.com…. so I canceled my subscription. (This was tough to do - I worked at The NYT as a staff photographer for 7 years…)
I still had money to give to support the NYT - but no one to give it to! This is a fundamental failure of the print industry that a decade ago decided to sell print ads to their clients and THROW IN ONLINE ADVERTISING FOR FREE. A Herculean oversight! Now they can no longer charge enough for online advertising and cannot sell subscriptions to their online readers - and as a result the print industry has been DECIMATED in 2009.
I’ll roll the dice here and say that 2010 will not see the death of the print industry altogether as some are calling for. In fact, I’ll predict that if they find a way to monetize their content online (see: on tablets) we might actually see the first positive growth in those markets in years (hey it won’t take much! Print is on life-support as is!)
If Magazines and Newspaper can find a way to either charge for online subscriptions or to profit from micro payments - there may be hope. These tablets may JUST be hip enough for the new generation of readers (accustomed to NOT paying for content) that they may just not notice that they are now being asked to pay for something that has been free for too long. Tablets may be JUST cool enough and the new content exciting enough to justify this pretty radical move - while you might not want to pay $20-$150 a year for you local newspaper online - how about $0.05 an article? Or $0.01 per photo or video? Maybe even a Nickel? Think about it…
The 2010’s may become known as the decade of the Tablet if things progress the way I hope they do, and all of our colleagues in the print industry may just be part of an incredible revival and REINVENTION of their industry. You should look to see a new breed of content aggregation and offering as well - forget simple still image slide shows and articles. Forget banner ads. Print will quickly become a misnomer as the line between it an television and online content become more and more blurred and in effect irrelevant.
Advertising will also see an INCREDIBLE shakeup in the 2010’s - and that’s something I’m quite excited about. Forget polished, predictable, packaged ads that have been cleared by 14 layers of creatives, executives, accountants, and lawyers - EXPECT ads that are VIRAL, and EVOLVE on the internet/blogs/twitter etc. that will come to redefine advertising as we know it. I hope.
___________
On a much smaller note in relative terms - but relevant to me and many of this blog’s readers I’m sure:
2. HD DSLR Cameras and cinematography will come of age in 2010. Surprisingly - don’t look to Canon Inc. to be spearheading this movement just yet. You should look to many mid-size and smaller companies such as RedRock Micro, Viewfactor, Marshall Electronics, Litepanels and many others that will take the charge in 2010 by releasing incredibly innovative products that could potentially alter the way many of us make films / commercials / shorts.
Some of the innovations will be relatively minor, while others will astound you. Obviously each company will be making their annoucements at their own pace and at the time of the their choosing. But if even 1/4 of the things that have been whispered into my ear prove to make it past the prototype stage - I can guarantee you (and I) will all greatly benefit as filmmakers and customers. If you simply take a step back and look at the timeline of HD DSLR cinematography - you will see that NAB 2010 lands just a little bit past the 18 month mark since the first Canon 5D MKII was announced… which just happens to be a very sweet spot for most companies to go from prototype to the announcement of important products.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
So in the end - to all of the readers of this blog - THANK YOU! To all of the nearly 4,000,000 of you that have visited this blog since it’s inception just a little over a year ago - thank you for the kind words, the few nasty comments (always from anon@anon.com - why is that?) and in general the overwhelming support and encouragement. 2009 was a year of highs and lows for all of us - that has ended on an exclamation point for me with several fantastic work related projects as well as the announcement of the Canon / Vimeo film contest that I hope you all will be a part of!
If 2010 is just half as exciting as 2009 - I’m game! My guess is that it will somehow be even MORE exciting!
Wishing you a wonderful 2010!
Happy New Year!

Congrats on the quickly achieved success on your blog, Vincent!
I agree with you on both of those points. The “Year of the Tablet” particularly holds a lot of promise and dreams made true (possibly) that I think my generation has waited for (I’m 28). The powerful, rich, media-enabled tablet will allow for powerful, rich, media-enabled content flowing right to it, from both old and new media players, but I have a feeling that we’ll see something quite astounding in this new year. Not quite PDFs, not quite websites/blogs, but a new breed of beautiful content. Content that will bring forth the beauty of the print magazine in all it’s glory, but with the speed, ease, and convenience of these here interwebs.
I can’t wait.
I also can’t wait to get myself a Canon 7D to replace my old 20D. Although by the time that I’ve saved that cash, I’m sure the 8D or 9D will be out by then haha.
Happy New Years, Vincent, I look forward to the next year of awesome content from you!
Comment by Lou 12.31.09 @ 12:11 amHappy new year to you too Vincent.
Regarding the HDSLR: We hope Managers and Executives have visionary perspective and see the huge potential that these cameras have.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II was an unexpected success and changed the roadmap of many companies, Canon included.
The most important thing is that this camera still has HUGE potential not exploited yet.
That’s why we, a Community of Photographers, Videographers and Filmmakers are so strongly requesting improvements that CAN be implemented via Firmware Update.
That will “refresh” the camera to make it even more competitive, more versatile, more powerful, keeping big sales on it at the same time.
It is a great deal from all points of view, because the difference in costs between updating a firmware to “refresh” a camera (already designed and in production) adding more features and improvements (that CAN be done), and making a whole new design is astronomical.
To end the year, we remind Canon once again what THOUSANDS of customers are requesting around the world:
Canon Firmware Updates - LIST of FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
Thanks Canon, and thanks to all those customers who picked up (and still pick up) the phone to spend 5 minutes calling Canon’s great Customers Service to register features request for this extraordinary camera (still the only Full Frame sensor camera with Full HD capabilities in the world).

@5D Mark II TEAM, I think the rise of HDSLRs combined with ” a Tablet Decade” may be the final nail in the coffins of the visonary Managers and Executives who have dragged this business (and for that matter the economy) to near extinction.
A “new” news economy based on micropayments to the folks producing the content sounds pretty exciting.
To Vincent, thanks for all the info you aggregate on this site - I’d gladly give you my.02 cents worth every time I check in. So 4 million hits = $80,000 to you, which don’t stink.
Happy New Year, thanks for the bright view of our future.
See isn’t this tablet just a bigger iphone? Why can’t people have this new print revolution on their iphones or smartphones now? And I read back that this tablet may cost a grand.
I think that is how people will see this tablet, as a large iphone…especially if it costs that much. And it can’t dial their friends numbers.
No, I think to be truly remarkable and game changing this tablet has to ACT like print, as in be able to fold and bend…….like a newspaper.
There is just something about bending and folding paper that I think most humans enjoy. And if it can fold, hell it’d be in my back pocket.
Otherwise to me it’s just a big iphone with less hardware specs then a laptop. It’s not like it can go into your pocket.
Only time will tell.

@Tim Nargi, Wayyy old school thinking - I TOO love to bend the paper - but I’d much rather have a new type of content running on a solid tablet with good processor, free internet (Via VZW not ATT!) awesome screen - then a bending gadget… just my two cents. Have you tried reading articles on the iPhone? WAY too small for me…

Trackback by Slap/Pop 12.31.09 @ 1:38 am[...] dSLR Video Leans Toward Niche Adoption vs. Broad Consumer Adoption I’m inclined to think that dSLR video will be wildly popular with a narrow audience and remain as an unused feature by the vast majority of the consumer market. Film & Television cinematographers will flock to dSLR video at a higher percentage than still photographers. The reason for this is cinematographers are already used to the extra cost of video production while most still photographers are not. Shooting production quality video with a dSLR requires a large outlay of cash for accessories, well beyond the budget of most still photographers. Thom Hogan’s recent observation (Dec. 29, 2009) highlights how low video enabled dSLRs fall on the top sellers list for camera manufacturers. Perhaps this is a sign of the tough economy limiting the number of upgrades photographers make, but in combination with random observation of friends & colleagues I’m finding that those with dSLRs that shoot video often never use the feature. If video is your thing be sure to check out Vincent Laforet’s predictions. [...]
Pingback by 10 Photography Predictions for 2010 » JMG-Galleries – Jim M. Goldstein Photography 12.31.09 @ 2:03 amVincent, your “The Cloud Is Falling” article a while back was dead on… Funny how you predicted that video may be a major channel, then the 5D2 appears in your lap and Reverie emerges out of it (I still haven’t found my socks from that first night I saw it). So there’s every reason to believe things will go as you state here. I look forward to what the support companies will come out with, and I hope the demand increases so some of the prices for rigs and rails come down, lol! Anyway, I’m still blown away what we can now do with our 5D2’s and others. Canon may produce better models, but the 5D Mark II was THE huge game changer to start all this. I’m sticking with mine for long days to come, Lord willing. Anyway, your efforts are VERY much appreciated in this new arena with all that you are doing, even this latest blog. It’s the stuff we need to know.

Comment by Szabi 12.31.09 @ 5:27 amFirstly, happy New Year, and thank you for posting and blogging and sharing your work with us in 09…and beyond.
Your comments on the newspaper industry are interesting, and somewhat depressing for those like me still favouring print. The industry practically (and stupidly) turned the gun on itself by giving away all its content online for nothing, reaping minimal advertising revenue, while decimating it’s own (profitable) print circulation. I’m certain circulation, and profits, would have remained higher if newspaper’s online content had been more carefully thought out to be supplementary to print rather than total replacement.
Only a handful of papers around the globe are big enough to become viable, highly profitable online ‘brands’. For most, the web will simply be like an extra edition.
While Vincent and many others are happy to read online, I think there is a very large section of ‘non-tech’ society who are being overlooked. The portable, easy, universal, lo-tech’ access to news, views and democracy that is a simple printed newspaper should not be disregarded so lightly.
On cameras, the rapid progress of technology is amazing. We’ve gone from fairly poor 2-3 megapixel dSLRs, to 20(ish)megapixel, HD video shooting vSLRs in only a few years. But we have yet to see the widespread use of them for general filming. At the moment, I see a lot of lovely low light, shallow DoF filming, as photographers ‘play’ with this ability of the latest vSLR. I wonder when the scene at outside courts, or at press conferences, will be of cameras, yet to be designed, shooting video and stills, seamlessly?
Interesting times!
Sorry, long comment…
all the best!

@Andrew Higgins, All newspapers have online sites these days - and ALL can provide content to a tablet and would likely LOVE to - newsprint is one of the - if not THE biggest cost for most newspapers.
Here’s the kicker - online content HAS to eventually STOP being free.
There are dozens of FREE papers available on the street these days in those boxes on the corner… do you go get them? I don’t….
I PAY for the NYT or other paper - b/c I’m happy to PAY for QUALITY.
Time is money - and I’d rather pay the reporters and editors at the NYT to edit down what is IMPORTANT for me to read in the little time that I have… the quality of their writing, photography and editing is so consistent that is is worth my TIME and MONEY to pay for it.
Often when I read local small / free papers - the quality of the information is re-hashed wire info - or poorly edited/written and I waste time…
So I no longer waste time with those FREE papers…
So I think that while there always will be FREE content ONLINE - you and I will be HAPPY to PAY for the real good stuff..
If not: guess what- those business will DIE. No one can survive by working for free very long.

Pingback by Best products of 2009 | Canon 5D tips 12.31.09 @ 9:10 amI for one could care LESS if the print media fails. Like you said, now we get our news on the web. The print media has already failed in my book. I would not buy a tablet so I could PAY for more news that I can already get for free on the web. That is the difference between print media and music… Sure you could steal music, but it’s so easy to pay per song with itunes. You don’t have to pay for news, or STEAL news now…. Why pray tell would you pay for it later?
Just asking…

@D&RFilms, you’re right, you don’t have to steal news - the blogs steal it for you. It seems to me that the online news community is dependent on reliable sources of news like print media for content to deliver digitally. I know a lot of people say that they can collect their own news and decide for themselves what is true, but I think they totally underestimate the power of public relations to influence the news we get. Further, those people who report professionally have access to things that basement bloggers do not - like the President, Congress, etc.
Hopefully, the fast approaching world of PR as news will create a new market for paid quality content online once people realize that the checks and balances that real reporting provides are .

@D&RFilms, those getting free news online are getting a free ride on a ship that is coasting to a halt. Once it stops, the news may not be there any more—at least in a disciplined, professional way (more on that later). There are some other differences between the print media and music. Prior to the internet, the bulk of the end-user cost of music was generated by agents other than the content producer—retail stores, distributors, producers, A&R agents, record companies, etc., that were made obsolete by the net. Back in the heyday of Napster, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds (supergroup of the 60s) wrote a piece saying that he saw almost nothing from the millions of records they sold and that he came to view them as primarily promotional material for his live concerts, which is how he made his living. Musical artists retain the ability to earn a living through live performances—which still retain value to music fans, independent of their recorded output. While printing and distribution is undoubtedly a non-trivial cost for the print media, the biggest costs are the salaries of the reporters, columnists, photographers, etc. and the cost to put them at locations where they can observe and investigate newsmaking events. Moving to the net doesn’t eliminate these costs and there’s no “live performance” equivalent. Hopefully, things will morph into some new form that still delivers professional content of the quality of the NY Times. And make no mistake, there’s a big difference between the writing/reporting quality you find in the Times and that of the typical blogger (VL notwithstanding!). But I worry that, as in many other cases, we may move to a new point on the efficient frontier of the quality-cost space. News will be free/cheap, but mostly crap.
I agree with what you say about the print industry. In fact, my 56 year old dad, who is complete not tech savvy, said they should all go to online subscription systems. I mean it only makes sense. If no one will buy the paper product, yet want to read your product, charge for it online.
Great post.

Pingback by The Apple Tablet | Doctor Reviews 01.01.10 @ 3:57 am[...] This blog post by Vincent Laforet is a good read and echoes my thoughts on how 2010 will be the year of the tablet and indeed just might be the medicine that puts the publishing and news industry back to health. With a global audience for your publication avaiable as an iTunes download, the advertisers would be crazy not to be involved. Perhaps then, they’ll be charging for online advertising and throwing in the print version for free…. So that brings me to the creators viewpoint and what this means to photographers? It means getting involved in the whole convergence thing and getting to grips with some of the brillient new products that are arriving, not just from people like Canon, but from the mass of independent companies such as Zacuto, GlideTrack, Miller and other small enterprises. All these products and technologies are changing the way we create content for our clients, both editorial and commercial and events like Convergence One by The Flash Centre are an important step along the way and if you thought that 2009 had been stuffed full of product announcements, I’m sure there are even more things in prototype form right now as more momentum is created. The benefits for photographers / film makers and our customers will be thrilling and I can’t wait to be part of it! [...]
Pingback by Apple tablet and video / stills convergence | Neill Watson Photographer 01.01.10 @ 5:59 amI can see newspapers charging a fee for their online content. And if 2010 is indeed the “Year of The Tablet” it will certainly be an attractive platform from which to read the online content of newspapers. The problem is that newspapers have alot of competition online now, in the form of blogs and specialized sites. If you want to follow politics, and to some degree entertainment news, you can find it at Huffington Post or other similar blogs. If you want to learn about technology, photography, film, music, etc.. there are endless numbers of sites that cater to all interests. There’s plenty of great free content online and I would be very disappointed if I ever had to pay for it. So, I’m not entirely certain that people would be so willing to pay for what they have been getting for free.

@claude etienne, I agree with that. I personally only pay for stuff online if it is exceptional and the stuff is not available elsewhere, like i.e. membership to web-sites that are targeted to my interests and hobbies. General news, no I don’t think so.
As I still flip flop on a new cam, these DLSR seems a very tasty option if they incorporate some other video options. In a nutshell we’ve gone back to traditional film making (primes, focus pullers, great DOF options) from the a crew in a camera video options which makes for an exciting opportunity for video/filmmakers to connect up with still photogs and do some amazing things.
I’m not ready to get a 5/7D but I am definitely ready to partner up with my photog friends who already do.
Time to blur the lines yet again.
BTW, if you ever want to shoot some unique coldwater surf footage. We got it right here in our backyard. Think south FLA except -5C.

Comment by mike kobal 01.02.10 @ 7:32 pmYou are correct this is a game changer! I would love to have a larger Ipod touch with more power. Imagine sitting at the television and replacing your harmony remote with this touchpad. Then Surfing the internet over wifi to check your flickr account. Then attaching it to your 5dmk2 so people can see your shots or putting it in live video mode and replacing the Marshall video screen. The final coffin drop is when your will be able to proof your final images out on the fly.
Question is will it be the slate from google or the Itablet from apple… Developers are a fickle bunch.
Why is it better to read newspapers on a tablet then on your laptop?
Comment by Andrei 01.04.10 @ 6:58 amYES YES YES To your first one!!! I have been saying this since the newspaper industry started to falter in late 2008. As a young person seeking to work as a photojournalist for a newspaper and a absolute technology nerd, I am beyond excited for these devices to save the news industry. Online as it exists now, sucks.
I for one hope that Apple uses one of those hybrid screens that can also run like the Kindle’s eInk display, otherwise I am a bit concerned about the ability to read for long periods of time.
I remember trying out NYTimes’ Adobe AIR online paper and was totally blown away with how neat it was, but worried about having to read on a laptop screen even more than I already do. I have used the Kindle 2 a ton, and LOVE its screen. No eye fatigue like reading on a backlit screen.
Bring on the (good) Tablets!

I too get most of my news online now. I also had worked for a print mag for almost 20 years before it collapsed.
But I also don’t download movies or music for “free”. I think artists should be paid for the work they do, it’s that simple.
For that matter, I also think writers should be paid for their work, but that seems less likely at the moment.
