Originally posted by redrockcoulee I would not write off APS-C too fast. Everyone I know that has a FF also has a cropped senor of the same brand and some of them bought their current cropped sensor camera after buying a FF. Abandoning APS-C will be great for m 4/3 and the better compact cameras as many will turn there instead of FF with its larger bodies and lenses.
I do not know if the market will move towards FF only, perhaps the professional market and the amatuers who need the best equipment but for most people including many serious photographers there are too many advantages for APS-C for this format to disappear.
Nowhere in my comment I've written off the APS-C cameras. I am sort-of a sure they will be with us for a long time, but as with any other electronics, in time, the market will move towards "better" - and in this case is FF.
Untill now, costs and size was an issue ... but time always solves that and as it seems, those times are slowly coming...
That's why I have mentioned that I see the "APS-C" cameras to be "the future of small format" ... or P&S and advanced P&S.
