Suppose Canon has plans for a sensor with a negative crop factor, i.e., larger than 36x24mm full-frame. Something like a 45mm x 30mm for a 0.8 crop, which maintains the 3:2 sensor dimensions? Around 30mp. Of course, the body would be formidable, and think of the shutter sound - at 5fps! Gear https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=635450

Or I should say, Canon can update some lenses so that the image circle is larger, because Canon lens mount has a large diameter. Remember, Nikon's lens mount's diameter is much smaller for the 35mm format, so the larger Canon mount should be able to accommodate image circles larger than the 35mm format. Canon 1D Mk III/5D2, Sigma 50mm f/1.4, Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX, Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX, Canon 85/1.8, Canon 100/2.8 IS macro, Canon 135/2, Sigma 150-500 OS, Canon 500 f/4 IS

Didn't think about the EF mount - we..need..new lenses!! No, wait..Canon will make a .8x teleconverter: 1/4" slim, ED glass, modifies the image circle before it hits the bodacious sensor. I didn't realize there was a Rumors forum. MODS: Please move. Sorry about that. lol it's a fun idea anyway Wedding Photography Melbourne
