Okay Theodoros, I'll play. I'm stuck in the house recovering from a total knee replacement and have time to kill
I wonder what user needs the MFD makers have to respond to? More importantly, who makes up the user base, and how is that changing? Some MFD users are represented here, but the majority certainly are not.
You have thoughtfully outlined some personal thoughts on this, but clearly they are not the same as the expressed needs of others, nor are they the same as mine. It seems you think that you speak for the MFD user base, but do you really? Or is it simply your own personal frustrations and situational needs ... which leads to prejudices for or against the specifics you outlined in some of your posts here?
I do agree that for some photographers higher resolution 35mm DSLRs like a D800 (and those that may follow) fill a need gap that they previously had to use a MFD camera to fill. In other words, they never needed all that MFD had to offer, plus they had to put up with a form factor they were not comfortable with.
The future of MFD will be determined by where photography in general goes over the next decade. Of that, we can only speculate in general terms.
I truth, each of us (professional and advanced enthusiast) has to subjectively determine what it is we want, and what fills our creative need to express ourselves, and/or engage in a pastime we enjoy just for the sake of it.
I've used a Hasselblad H camera for a really long time, and there is not much I can point to that I do not like. My only wish for many years was that Hasselblad would produce a camera with a dual shutter. As luck would have it, Leica did exactly that AND made it possible to use my Hasselblad lenses on the S2 either in FP or CS mode.
I'm now approaching a less demanding shooting agenda as I retire, and I have thought to eliminate the H4D/60 system ... yet it is such a good tool, and so much a part of my photographic life, that I'm not sure I can go through with it. There are still many pictures to make, and it is the best tool I own.
