I believe it was the CEO of Leica who said at Photokina: "These manufacturers are going too fast, pushing the customers too hard, with too many new products in too short a time. It will cause them problems." Or something to that effect.
The A9 will likely be another grand technological achievement. YAWN! I don't need another grand technological achievement. I need the time to understand and use the grand technological achievements littering my home already so that I can get what I paid for back in value.
The A7 body's capabilities opened up new areas of endeavor that I've only dipped my toe into so far. By the time I learn to really utilize it and achieve the products of those endeavors to my satisfaction, I'm sure Sony will be on the A9 Mark XX. I'll enjoy hearing your war stories of new equipment discovery through the next new twenty generations of cameras by the end of the year, but I'm going to pass and just work on my photography for the most part this year. There's one new camera I feel I ought to have, a leftover from last year's list of new tools that might make a difference, but for the rest I'm pretty happy with what's in the closet and will be more likely to sell the excess rather than add to it.
