One just has to face up to the fact whatever you buy will be out of date in 12 months time( or even less).

IMHO an out of date camera is only one that can't be used any more, for example, if the film type is no longer available.
Even that is often not insurmountable though, although electronic cameras do become defunct when the batteries or electronics are no longer replaceable.
Pentax currently offer three DSLRs, all of which are perfectly well useable and "up to date" compared with offerings from their competitors. There isn't anything in terms of photography that you can't do with them, so how much more do we need them to be?
I agree entirely ..so why ll the fuss when a new camera comes out and all the nit picking about specs ?IMHO an out of date camera is only one that can't be used any more, for example, if the film type is no longer available.

Why chase specs and pixels ?
Makes one wonder how Henri Bresson and Ansel Adams managed

Well, to be fair, it's not about grammar, it was more of an apparent 180 degree shift in opinion, then back again when you agreed with Mike.
I'm sure you were actually agreeing with the third paragraph of John's post, but it was just unfortunate that it could be taken out of context.
I suppose both points of view are valid anyway - the technology may be 'out of date' compared to current products, but they're still perfectly capable of taking decent shots, so not 'out of date' in that respect.
Not something I tend to worry about too often, to be honest.
