There is the world of hype, where reviewers and people who want to buy the newest thing live. As soon as the newest thing comes out it makes everything before it look like trash, at least until the next thing comes out. OTOH the Nikon D3S/D700 (2008, 12MP) are still selling used for $1,000+ so I guess that 12MP is plenty for whoever is buying them.
