Hi Bill,
Yes I agree with your sentiments. I think that the time frame is probably about right too.
You say; " . . .it seems most of the chip makers are putting their recources in the larger markets such as 35mm and MF systems." - this is most likely correct but the plus side to this is that the innovations which occur here, will flow fairly quickly to LF shooters too, I would imagine. There are a lot of professional LF shooters who work outside the comfort of the studio and I'm sure the manufacturers will accomodate them too, which will in turn benefit us "landscape photographers".
But who knows, perhaps those advances in 35mm & MF will be so good that we'll give up LF all together!
- just kidding! ;-)

Kind regards
