You seem to have forgotten about the fire in the memory factory in Japan. They used it as an excuse to raise prices 400%, and within a year they had ten other countries competing with them.

I doubt if sensor prices will go up. That would be a historic first for any electronic components. However, Pentax has demonstrated their commitment to APS format. That's the only real obstacle to FF, but it's a big one. However, APS will continue to develop, and it will undoubtedly prove quite good. Hell, it's already quite good.

at what price? i think a FF DSLR will be worse than the *istD if it has to meet your price point. sensors aren't cheap and are not dropping in price at that size. if anything, i expect sensors in that size range to go up in price.

Not trying to belabor the issue. Just trying to say I believe there is a market for such, probably with all 35mm SLR mfr's because of the abundance of legacy lenses.
