Re: What would you do with a 24x36 digital chip?

Computer prizes has fallen partially because they have put more into 
the same silicon area.  This will not work with digital cameras. The 
rest of the digital cameras is similar to the analog cameras so there 
is not much to gain there.

It won't always be a $7000 camera.  Digital stufff tends to decrease 
in price over time.  Look at computer prices.  Lenses may never get 
cheaper, however.  Eventually, they are going to almost give the 
cameras away to get you locked into their lenses.  For example, look 
at printer prices.  A good printer can be had for not too much cash.  
It's the ink and paper that they make the real  money from.

but then they are compromising again....  and there will be the same 
issue
with wide-angle focal lengths, etc.

Canon has a full frame sensor.  How could the Canon user-base afford 
such a
camera?  it's a $7000 camera.
