When you look at the 'improvements' in camera technology most of it is focused on more features ( Many of which are rarely needed ), and more megapixels, which are only needed if you're displaying at huge sizes, which most people aren't. Older models are just as capable as they ever were, and there are no huge improvements on things like dynamic range or colour.

Some will argue that the older models are better built, or have better color, or lower pixel count renders nicer looking images. The game of manufacturers is to upsell you something you really don't need using all sorts of marketing trickery. The desire of many for a new toy they don't really need is all too apparent. If people focused on the real art of photography, instead of the latest camera, their photographs would actually improve, rather than stagnate because they blame their failings on their equipment, not their lack of application to the craft. A new camera is a quick fix that doesn't actually fix anything.

Before anyone gets too excited, l have fallen into this trap myself, but the truth of it becomes self-evident in time. Modern cameras are so capable now, and have been for some years, that if you're not producing quality photographs, it's not because of the gear you're using.
