Interesting, but I think you have a point. Though, for at least the regular photographer (aka, one's not printing their works on billboards etc), is there a need for higher resolution cameras (to an extent)? Curious what your thoughts are on that.

Absolutely not, I don't expect to see innovation there as I really think those days are gone, even for those printing (all but billboards maybe!) I'm not sure what I WANT to see from the industry really, maybe just options that cut out all of the crap. I'm a wedding and portrait photographer, I really have no use for Video capabilities and I could probably do without WiFi, certainly without GPS, yet I've essentially paid for those things regardless. I suppose it's all marketing really anyway!
I got you man, I completely understand. I'm both a videographer and a photographer (mostly photo), so I benefit from having cameras that have both. But I also completely understand where you're coming from as well, since you don't need any of that other fancy stuff.
I guess there is a market, but I just wish someone like Panasonic, with their GH5s announcement would just think about things a bit more in terms of practicality. Take a Sony or a Panasonic for instance, they are built like stills camera's and the ergonomics favour that kind of shooting, yet the GH5s has gone down to a 10.28MP sensor. NOBODY is buying a GH5s at $2500 for photography, so what's the point dressing it up as a photography camera? Just all feels a bit pointless to me!
