Hell... It would be too good to be true!
Well, the Nikon D7000 with a 16mp sensor was available in 2010, and I'm still using that sensor in my Fuji X-T1 I bought last year (different filter, but it's the same sensor at its core). Yes, that was a clearance sale, but looking at a X-T1 vs X-T2 review, the gain in image quality is subtle at best.
There are things that have improved since then: video quality, screen resolution and responsiveness, auto-focus speed and reliability. But on sensor and image quality for stills, there hasn't been a marked improvement, IMHO.
