That's not true, the Kodak chip is the same ratio as APS-C ~ 35mm ~ 6x9cm (2:3). APS-H (16:9) isn't even close. Geeze these numbers are published everywhere. Adam Maas wrote: Bronek Kozicki wrote: Quoting Digital Image Studio [EMAIL PROTECTED]: B obviously hasn't looked at too

why do you think they won't bring out a ff body? And why would it be so much more expensive? If they get down to the price level which would allow the non-professional makers (ie not Canon or Nikon) to use them, then I imagine they'll be about the same price as smaller sensors, no? -- Bob
