It's all rumors. Personally, however, I prefer the 16x24mm
format. Smaller, lighter, faster telephoto field of view at
lower prices, with a touch more DoF to work with. As long as
they can make 6-8Mpixel on this size imager with the quality
we're getting out of the *istD/DS, it works fine for me.
A 50/1.4 is a superb lens for this format, my second most used
focal length after the 28-31mm range.
