You honestly think we'll have 12 Mpixel resolution in 12 months????  I guess
your caveat is the 'or price halve', as we've already seen E10 prices nearly

General digital rules:
        - price will halve or capabilities will double if you wait 12 months
        - any purchase will be capable but obsolete in 12 months. Or less.
