You're right if this continues they won't change. Like if its not broke
don't fix it and besides we're too busy making money. But its bound to level
off.  
They will soon in the years of not months if not already months to come be
looking at other sensor options. The one they have not is the only non CMOS
but CCD out there and its a bit under the gun.. The writing is on the wall.
The future is just around the corner. Time Marches on. And some horses are
of a different color. When they introduce the next sensor what will it be?
Green? Plaid? Black and white? We don't know the sensor options being
presented to them.
