It became extremely common thing to see rumblings about existing cameras, and new upcoming cameras. Constant talks how Japanese guys are not innovating enough, and why we still don't have 8k RAW video camera for $300 (replace this to full metal rangefinder with 6 wheels and optical viewfinder for the photo diehards).

I can tell you this. Every thing has it's time. Ones who want all instantly will get Newton, advanced guys will get Palm, crowd with money will get iPhone, and all the rest will get $99 Chinese Android 6.0 phone with OLED screen.

The big companies producing mature products move carefully. Very carefully. Look at synths. If you call camera companies conservative, I have no words for Korg, Roland and Yamaha. May be "old fucks" come to mind. This guys regularly want to sell you new keyboards with performance, RAM and ROM sizes typical for 20th century. And they want to sell you new keybeds with each synth, other and other again. It is not because they are bad. It is because they struggle to survive in the modern pace and modern tiny margins.

Increasing chips complexity, increased design costs of complex products and thin margins lead to one thing. Modularity, standartization and huge role of software. Read - even worse economical consequences.

Just look at this guys as bunch of people on minefield. It is organic to step after each other. Copy the path. If you go another route, you can be faster and get recognition for being brave, or you could get words of your bravery recognition written on your grave.
