Originally posted by civiletti Half-frame 35mm disappeared. It's a matter of cost/benefit ratio.
half frame never penetrated into the SLR market., it was a consumer P&S format largely, look today at P&S it is usually 8 x 10mm chips. sort of like comparing a kodak disk camera with sub 16mm frame, to a 35 mm SLR
APS C will be here because for 99% of the shooters ( no not shhooters, actual shots) it is all that is needed.
But again, if thjey made a full frame camera, with a non crippled K mount, flash support for both TTL and P-TTL, because there are times when one is better than the other, and a sensor with 50% of the high ISO noise of a K5D, and at least the saame pixel density (hence a 35MP camera) and a shutter like the PZ-1 with 1/250 sync, 1/8000 max shutter, a big bright view finder and 6-8 FPS, I might be interested, but lets see what the can do. As I said somewhere, if I really need an full frame, I take out my PZ-1 and load film. I can do a lot of shots that are full frame only type shots, for what a full frame body will cost me.
