I didn't buy into digital for a long time, as the sensors were improving so fast. I first got on board with a Fuji bridge camera of some description, moved to my trusty Minox DC5211 (5MP), and then the Olympus E-400 DSLR (10MP), which I didn't really get on with.
There are still constant improvements. The Pen E-P5 I lusted after a couple of years ago has now been superseded by the E-M1, which is as close to a pro camera as CSCs are likely to get. But recently, the E-M5 Mkii was launched, which had a lot of the features of the 1, while being more compact. Gosh, I never will have the money to upgrade to what I want...
However, since the 'all-important' MegaPixel count has pretty much plateaued, and been replaced by more esoteric qualities such as dynamic range etc, there isn't a FAB! NEW! EXCITING! big number for Curry's staff to wave at customers. Digital is pretty much established, but is at a bit of a crossroads now, and has lost the mass appeal.
Looking back, I recognise that film cameras went into a shocking decline (with few honourable exceptions) in the late 80s and 90s. Most offerings were plastic tat, tossed off as if the manufacturers really didn't care. And they didn't, really. APS was an expensive distraction, although the freedom of design led into digital manufacture. Digital is pretty much ubiquitous now, and getting a new film camera ever more difficult. Maybe that's not a bad thing, if it means that companies can concentrate on their digital offering and not spread themselves too thinly, although the multiplicity of similar models from most manufacturers could be a bit of a gamble.
