In their "normal state", most people are conservative and their vision closed. They play safe, rely on old knowledge to understand everything in front of them. Thus the imagination of the future is very much very linear extension of the present, and goes along the complacent ideas of self-preservation. The future is barely anything else but going along the beaten track, only faster and faster.
For example, not a single Pentax user could ever predict development of the Q system, nor how good the new GR would be. Nor could they imagine that improvements of the K5IIs were of such incremental magnitude that will indeed give Pentax one more year of steady development at hand. Not just that — that K5II camera won't be easily beaten during that period in area that matters most — image quality. Doesn't that show some insight Pentax had about the coming sensor tech, which they buy and know more about than all of the users at PF together, even in 100 years?
Similarly, we can talk about advancing and innovating within the DSLR category — what is possible, where imagination can change state of things, it's best to say, folks please give up. I'm reading these threads for months already and not a single soul could add something imaginative to the pool of repetitively uninteresting statements.
If the photographs coming out your cameras are as imaginative as your predictions and imagination in general, you should give up that hobby and enrol knitting classes. Seriously.
