Reminds me of guy I worked with c1985 when there was a technical step improvement in film resolution. He bought a 110 camera (for younger readers : 110 frame size was about the size of a fingernail) on the basis that the 110 format now had the same resolution as 35mm format, or so he reckoned. But of course 35mm film also took advantage of the improvement, so it always stayed ahead. I notice for example that the FF Canon EOS 5DS is now up to 50 MPx. Whether such ever-increasing resolution has any point for normal prints, let alone computer screens, is arguable, and I think that if I were starting now I'd go for APS-C. However, having a collection of legacy 35mm film lenses, I have opted for FF so my old lenses can be used for the purposes I bought them for.
Originally posted by mikesbike As to lenses, it is practical to offer a lens that would satisfy both, especially for customers who have both.
Funny, but Canon have deliberately different mounts for their FF and APS cameras, to foil people from doing just that
