I know--just shutting off my engineering background in order to daydream a bit :) A nice (very nice) tradeoff would be to have a full frame viewfinder, even if the picture is not full frame. It could have framelines like a rangefinder, and would let you see around the picture you're about to take... BTW, this is in my mind one of the strongest reasons to want a full frame DSLR.
