New Canon full-frame d-SLR!

The Canon 5D. 12.8MP

Wow. Full frame d-SLRs are coming at a much lower price. It’s not up to the level of the 1D-mkII but still.

I wonder if the APS sized sensor or the full frame sensor will eventually endure. The effect of FF size is certainly what we’ve all come to expect in traditional photography and FF for the masses (almost) will certainly help maintain it. With the flooding of point and click cams all over the place with their tiny sensors, everyone is wondering where all the limited depth of field went. So perhaps the digicam era with it’s small cameras and small sensors will eventually squeeze out the FF and it’s utter bigness. Who knows, maybe FF will become something like medium format or large format is to 35mm.
