I will admit that there maybe somethings I don't understand about the optical behavior of the new smaller optical circle lenses used in digital cameras, such as depth of field. However, I am not stupid regarding terms like "full-frame". My comment was aimed at the fact that this is a relative term based on the historically standardized size of an image on a roll of plastic film. Someone 10-12 years old now who buys a camera in three to five years may not have any idea what "full frame" means when everything is digital just as a vinyl 33rpm LP is a museum piece to younger kids. They put 35mm lens equivalent focal lengths on the front of digital cameras for old fogies in my age bracket but 5-10 years from now it won't mean anything.
You also stated you were willing to switch systems (brands) in order to acquire your nirvana of a "full-frame" digital camera for a particular price point level. This usually means you buy lenses to match the brand of the body.
