That sounds like false economy to me. You can crop a full frame
exposure to a 1.3 crop in PhotoShop or some other editing program and
achieve the same result. It's entirely equivalent to having a
"digital zoom."

Nothing I have heard or seen, but I will put money on the next 1D

IMO it's silly to keep a 1.3 sensor going, and as the electronics get
smarter and quicker, I think Canon will consolidate and limit the
flagship to one model.
Or am I barking completely up the wrong tree?
Or am I just barking ? ;-)
I'm torn between the full-frame and 1.3 crop of the 1D Mk II I
currently use, I love the extra "free" reach the 1.3 crop provides
me at the long end for 90% of the stuff I shoot, but there were
times I missed shots because I've backed off all the way (either to
the 100mm end of the EF100-400 or the 17mm of the EF17-40) in a
fast paste scenario and have no time to change to a shorter focal
length lens.
So even if a more affordable full frame 1D-of-some-sort comes out,
I would still want to have a body with the extra free reach of a
cropped senosor!
