The same things that make any computer obsolete: 1. Memory capacity 2. Storage capacity 3. Processing speed 4. Form factor 5. Paradigm
1, 2, and 3 are givens. It's why not a single one of us can do any serious image editing on a 386sx system. 4 and 5 get less consideration but are equally important. Anyone remember Micronics, or Altos? CPUs the size of a desk, 8-inch media, fix & removable platters, Wyse & Televideo terminals? In 10 years we WILL be looking at the current DSLR systems in this same light. The software and the whole environment will change so completely as the field matures, 10 years from now it will be difficult to use these cameras in the same capacity. They'll still be usable -- like a Pentax 110 Super. Neat pieces of history, but who really wants to use one. Seriously, that is.
