Sensors get more and cleaner sensors. Look at what was available 5
years ago and what is available now. What do you think will be
available in five more years? Prices don't dive because camera
makers need/want a profit to survive, but camera abilities continue
to go up. My lowly 8MP DSLR cost $4500 almost a year ago and now is
$700 cheaper. In another 5 years high end digital cameras will
probably still be $ 4-8000 but they will all be very clean at ISO
1600 and have WIFI built in, probably starting at 16mp, yada yada. I
doubt they will be larger than standard FF simply because neither
Canon or Nikon have a lot of lenses made for larger sensors. MF will
continue to become more truly digital as film continues to fade into
oblivion.
Will Canon enlarge sensor sizes as time goes by? I certainly hope
so, but we'll never escape the economics of silicon chip fabrication
completely.
