That's a good point, Paul. I was thinking about that last night. Couple this with the press release and it seems that a FF camera is most likely not in the cards...at least not right away. The lens map hasn't pointed to anything much larger in sensors, that can't be argued. Unless of course they pull a new body/new lenses release thing as they done many times in the past. But I'm not holding my breath. But how about a K1D with a APS-H sized sensor like in the new Mark III? That could be cool, plus the boost in pixels. -Brendan > -------------- Original message > ---------------------- > From: Mark Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Digital Image Studio wrote: > > > > >But they just can't go on increasing the density > of APS sized sensor > > >ad infinitum, it will only end in tears. > > > > It's true.
