That may be true for the consumer, but it's not true for two other 
factors in this discussion:

1.  Working pros.  They take a LOT of shots and their cameras are 
very heavily used every day.   So in a couple of years they're ready 
for replacement.

2.  Camera manufacturers need to sell NEW stuff to stay in business.  
I bought three Nikon FM2's in the 1980's (I still have two of them).  
But once I bought those that was it - I kept using them but they 
didn't generate any new revenue for Nikon.   Nikon can't rest on 
their laurels because they need a continuing revenue stream.
