That's sensible, given that new camera releases tend to come along on a calendar nowadays. And it's been a year or so since the K-5 was released.
But at the same time, it's also a recipe for paralysis
There will always be the prospect of something better coming soon.
The real trigger point for me in buying a new camera comes when one (or all) of the things below happen:
(a) the price/performance ratio of a new camera switches into 'BARGAIN!';
(b) my current camera can't deliver something
important that the new camera can;
(c) my old camera dies;
(d) I get sick of seeing 16 year old girls walking about with higher-end equipment than me.
