Yes, let's be realistic. I don't know what camera company you are talking about because the company that I know as Pentax has introduced significant improvements with every new body they have released. The K-1's Function dial + setting dial is absolute genius as is the tilty-screen, pixel shift, astrotracer, TAv mode, green button, body lights, etc. etc. And now Pentax has the accelerator chip and a hand-held version of pixel shift.
From my perspective, it's Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fuji that are lagging badly on the camera performance dimensions that I most care about as a landscape and ambient light photographer.
The only realization here is that different brands suit different types of users and that the major improvements that Pentax has made in recent bodies aren't the kinds of improvements that you want to see.
