At the level of development we have reached today a small increase of pixel pitch (effective sampling rate -> sharpness and resolution boost) in the sensor will induce a much higher (square growth law) megapixel count, thus requiring much larger in-camera buffer memory, faster data saving channels, more powerful computers etc.
At the same time noise control becomes increasingly difficult (square growth law) due to higher amplification of the signal needed to achieve the same ISO rating; on the other side smaller pitch sensors seem to produce a much more even and defined noise, partly counterbalancing the degradation in quality (think about the terrible "pepper" grain in Canon EOS 5D compared to the smoother Canon EOS 7D).

<strong>This is an opinion with a mix of speculation
</strong>A lot has been made of the “in development†announcement of a new “Cinema†branded DSLR. Most people seem to think the camera is going to be based on the 1D X.</p>
<p>I agree with <a href=\"http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_video.html\">Keith at Northlight Images</a>, nothing was said by Canon as to what the form factor would be. I think what they showed was just a 1D X body with a red “C†stuck on it for marketing purposes.</p>
<p>I think the camera they’re speaking of will sit between the 5D Mark III and 1D X. Perhaps an EOS 3C? I do not like the name “3D†for a camera that doesn’t actually shoot 3D.</p>
<p>I also don’t think it would be a full size EOS-1 body. They just spent a few hours touting the small stature of the C300, I don’t think they’d make a cinema DSLR bigger than it needs to be. I’d have to hear from cinematographers & videographers whether or not a camera the size of the 5D Mark II is preferred to the EOS-1 body.</p>
<p><strong>What about photographers?
</strong>I know a good majority of photographers are pretty tired about hearing about video in DSLRs. A lot of the community is looking for a new “photography first†full frame DSLR that doesn’t require remortgaging their homes. I think the 5D Mark III will be that camera. It’ll probably have video features on par with the 1D X, but will be a high resolution, high image quality still photography camera.</p>
<p>I’ve said before that I think Canon plans to monetize the videographers and video DSLRs, so something like the “EOS 3C†makes a lot of sense. Â Looking at the prices of the new cinema lenses, it seems videographers have no problem spending more.</p>
<p>So don’t be worried photographers, Canon hasn’t forgotten about you and I’m sure will deliver the product we all know you want.</p>
<p>It’s going to be a very interesting 2012 to say the least.</p>

This lens has always been my go to for versatility. I always use it for races and air shows as well just for the versatility it gives me. Its able to be taken in public without too much attention where as my 600, forget about it!
A recent one:
My dream lens is a 7-800mm f/1.2 IS that weighs 1/4 pound and has perfect sharpness all over and cost $20 US. If they can make a little robot that flies to mars and drives around doing science experiments there is NO reason why my dream lens can't happen.
Sooner or later if humans don't extinct themselves first, optics will move into the field of organics and genetic engineering. Think something like, a cloned eagle eye developed in a laboratory. So sooner or later you'll likely get your wish, just maybe not in the form you originally had in mind. Don't laugh, it's probably not even as far away as we might imagine, and it would probably lend itself better to a DIY project than grinding your own glass with a dremil.
That 14.5-60 zoom would be a wondrous thing to use on a FF camera
Not really, since the image circle covers only Super35, approximately APS-C. So, while it would work on your 7D, you'd get terrible vignetting on FF. Although the new primes will work on FF, the new zooms are effectively EF-S lenses in terms of image circle.
Still happy with my 24-105!
)
And love the images you would have been missing otherwise! 
I agree. They do compliment each other.
I also agree about the ISO.. I'd never put the 7d above 640, yet regularly have the 5d at 1600.
Is this for RAW's or jpegs?
