It'd be pretty seamless wouldn't it? So maybe all the talk about lens compatibility would be moot.

Besides, some 'DA' lenses are just re badged old optical formulas anyway -- this hybrid capture (10mp instead of 20?) would only effect DA lenses that vignetted.

The camera knows what it's shooting.

So, you're effectively cropping your bigger and more expensive FF camera back to APS-C, nullifying any advantage of the larger sensor. Seems kind of... pointless?
