This comment is aimed at pros more than hobbyists, but upgrading camera gear is an ecosystem upgrade. It's a back to front rethink of how you do things. Lenses may change, storage cards, computer, archiving, delivery, etc.

If you're a pro, you HAVE to think this way. Your business depends on it. Buying a new, high megapixel camera without the ecosystem to support it is like buying a new racing car without upgraded brakes.

How many people do we have shooting D700s on 1-2GB cards? Exactly.
