if you're talking about moving up from a entry level to midrange or prolevel dslr
then probably iso limitations, shutter speed limitations, features such as special modes la, flash control.. you get what i mean?
to me, personally, outgrow means it cant give you want you want (as per what has been stated), so upgrading / buying newer body, the photo must improve. may not be applicable to everybody.
i just out of curiosity, everybody ask yourself this question, did it happen when you upgrade?
to tell you honestly, i don't think i've outgrown any of my cameras. my old F801 still does everything i want, so does my X700, he*k even my T3 is still very capable. but i've upgraded to a dslr because i got just a wee bit tired of sending film out for developing, scanning and post processing. with the dslr, i skip the 1st two steps.
hmmm... my definition of 'outgrow' would be when your requirements and skill can no longer be met by your current camera, then you've outgrown it.

outgrow the camera body means nothing but an excuse to buy more expensive camera.
Before i outgrow my camera i usually outgrow my wallet and bank account
but seriously, do you think it is more of "wants" than "needs"?
