The DSLR market seems to be just as bad as the mirrorless sector:

I think some of this is lack of innovation.  In most cases I can not recommend an owner of a 3 year old DSLR to upgrade to the newest model.  Not many people need/want to print that large that a 12 MP model can not handle it. 

 

In the Nikon context I find it interesting that the new Coolpix A uses the same sensor as the (about to be) retired D7000.  Also they still think the D7000 AF module is good enough for the D5200. To me this is the admission that for many there are limited benefits from swapping a D7000 for a D7100.  Actually I think potential buyers of a D5200 should think about getting a D7000 instead, depending on whether they need the swivel LCD or a better optical finder.
