LOL, tough crowd.P series came out 2004/5, P+ came out 2007/8, IQ1 in 2011 and IQ2 in 2013.
Despite the long product cycles, not much actually changes between generations; besides usability improvements, the P65+/IQ160 and P40+/IQ140 are the same thing, as are the IQ180/IQ280.
AlwaysLOL, tough crowd.
I'm sure that something can be done, the CCD video cameras used for sports broadcasting can go up to 90fps for those slow-motion playback sequences, so I doubt that CCDs are an inherently flawed technology. Similarly, I sometimes wonder what a 2013 CRT monitor would look like, flat panels can only do now what a good Sony CRT could 12 years ago.As long as the beautiful character of the CCD sensors isn't lost, modern live view would be a fine feature. But that character is a large part of what makes these backs appealing.
My opinion only,
Matt
