I don't think that the 1.3 sensor size will hold. If you take in consideration that Canon is developing more EF-S lenses (the 60mm macro was a true surprise) I think the logical evolution for the next gen is to take out the 1.3x cropping sensor and have only a FF "top" 1Dxxxx and 1.6 sensors for the rest of the line. But of course, only Canon knows and only time will tell... :-) ;-) -regards, Gerard. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
