Good Point WJ.
I guess that's why with the "new" format they had to keep backward
compatability (body to lens).

For sure: having IS built in to the body sounds a clear advantage (if
it works as well).  It would make all your old lenses IS too.

Where did you hear that?
Why would anyone want a bigger sensor anyway (rhetorical) ;o)

Mmm ... you might tempt me away from Canon



I'm confused.
If Nikanolta between them can't mass produce bigger FF sensors "for
technical reasons" - how on earth could Mamiya turn out a 36x48 one
without it costing as much as a Ferrari?  Something doesn't sound
right.
