Sony and Fuji were distant nowhere when then they started NEX and XPRO1.
Lots of issues, and everyone laughed.
See where they are now in market position.
I think some R&D money must be there to dream. (and hopefully make money )
If not its the same stagnation we have seen now, just upping the megapix every other year.
Pentax has had something going a few times, but always failed to think beyond the initial product and let others eat their cake eventually.
GXR m-module - pure genius and well before the NEX, but they just dropped the ball after that
IBIS and its unique features like pixel shift - Now Sony has it and ppl even think they were the innovators who started it
Exposure composite - later Oly (and now I think Sony) has done better with real time review of the stacking (really useful for light trails shooting )
Theta - stagnated by refusing to also do better video and Gopro / Insta360 has taken the 360 video pie now.
