Well, given that no matter how many 'bells and whistles' are added to the camera and people are still not happy, I'd say it was odds on they will. It all seems strange to me as a happy owner of an LX and an *ist D as they are. If you want photos that can be enlarged seemingly for ever in size, MF cameras are cheap enough. But this isn't really about the images captured (or compatibility or anything else), it's about having it all and having it now. It might be about time that the next generation of cameras were fitted with wheels and you programme into the camera what pictures you want; that you way you finally remove the only thing that matters, the photographer...35mm, MF, digital or disposable; cheap or expensive, the equipment doesn't take the image - you do.
