34mm x 45mm (1.3 FOV crop for 645) Pentax has publicly stated that they see no reason why a digital SLR should be any larger than the equivalent film SLR. But we won't see 24 x 36 in a standard 35mm-size body until the sensors are much more of a commodity item. Just like what happened with the APS-C sensor in the ist-D and DS. Not going to happen until low-cost CMOS sensor fabs come on line (probably in China) and the use of two or more small sensors to substitute for a single large sensor becomes more common. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
