Thomas, I don't think you exactly understand the difference between optics and sensor technology...I would suggest doing further research. Optics will ALWAYS be needed, and aren't an outdated piece of tech.
The quick and simple : Camera's need a lens.
As for anamorphics and screen resolution....you actually gain some resolution when filming and presenting anamorphically. You lose NOTHING, and that is the biggest point of anamorphics, is avoiding cropping....instead of chopping off resolution to meet your aspect ratio needs, you film and project anamorphically, and thus never lose a thing...in fact you gain some resolution due to the fact that the pixels are being made more compact in one dimension.
Now all this talk of human perception and such is fine, but how about coming up with a workflow and equipment, and giving us a tutorial....or creating a project based on these ideas and showing it to us?
