When is enough enough? Locked

I fail to understand why people are so fixated on new camera models. In the film era, photographers often kept the same body for decades. Now that we have excellent 4/3 sensors, better than any combination of film that was avialable in the film era, don't we have enough?

I mean really, the 12mp Panny sensor with the Oly JPEG engine finally equalled/surpased film quality in a camera that was as small as or smaller than a film equivaltent body. FF dSLR's were always monstrosities that never really had a place in an amature's kit bag and they are getting worse. Prices on u 4/3 cameras have finally come down to the same or less than film era equivalents.

So, what more do we need?

Isn't the GH-3 really a step in the wrong direction?

Maybe it's time to start focusing on lenses and forget about upgrading bodies?
