However, if you look at the pixel pitch of Canon's sensors, it's not particularly large and it's even getting smaller as they increase MP over the same sensor size. So, I do not know, but Nikon seem to be saying that over time, current issues with APS size sensors would be solved and farther improved. Just like film, the larger the better principle begins to come into the equation. So, if one wants a larger sensor, go to 645 is also a valid point, just like film.
