Would they all of the new lenses be rendered useless? If they were wouldn't that create a market for the line of reformulated and re packaged DFA lenses that have full frame 35mm coverage.
Is anyone asking for the same sensor density that the current cameras have to keep digital noise under control truly expecting a full frame camera any time soon? I know I'm not, but I'm not sanguine about the future based on reviews of the Sony Alpha and the Nikon D200 both of which use the same, or similar sensor. Rob Studdert did a masterful analysis of why noise levels would increase as sensor densities increased a couple of years ago. Maybe he'll repost it. That's why at this point I'd like to see a larger sensor. Physics is working against the APS-C sensor as densities get higher, and it can only get worse.
