They've been able to for a while. There's no reason why Canon can't make a 9-10fps 12MP FF chip just like Nikon did. However there are advantages to crop sensors. The extra pixel density for a given resolution is a win when using long lenses on small subjects. This is why Nikon's D300 is the wildlife camera, not the D3. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
