It's not an "end" of cameras, since we are still left with image capturing
devices that are far more integrated part of our fabric. It means that
images will be distributed far more widely and far more seamlessly than it
ever was.

Of course, photography as an art form will remain, just as paintings and
classical music are still with us. It is not the tool that matters.
