Yeah, but with film you could upgrade to a 'newer sensor' just by changing a roll of film, and 'focus improvements' were developed by improving the photographer behind the camera.
I think auto metering was a big jump initially, but today metering only improves incrementally.
Today you buy a new camera for improved high ISO, more resolution (megapickles
), and AF performance. Unfortunately that means replacing the whole shebang, but at least the old lenses are still compatible!
That said, I'll drool over the K-1 and KP, but I'm still quite satisfied with my K-3. (At least for another year or two
)
