Most of us remember when Leica's went up in value; I knew one gentleman that would buy two of everything leaving one in an unopened box. After 5-10 years would sell the pristine one to pay for both. Digital has pretty much ruined that as you called out. I am waiting for the day when a body has enough technology to be good enough for ten years; 40+mp, built in IS, ISO good to 50,000. Surely that would be sufficient to be competitive for ten years.
