That's photo enthusiast think. Average people don't care about sensor size. What they want is something to post on the web easily (cell phones with cameras) and something that will make good 8x10/12x18 prints. A Canon 20D was good enough to do this. A Olympus/Panasonic m4/3 is good enough to do this.
Nikon and Sony APS-C cameras are 1.5x, Canon APS-C are 1.6x, m4/3 are 2x and the new Nikon should be 2.5x (rumors based on patents). Compare the lens size between Sony's E-mount lenses, m4/3 lenses and what should be the even smaller Nikon 2.5x lenses. For many people smaller is better based on ease of carry. :D
You can't put a 1Ds III with a 70-200 f2.8 into even a very large pocket. :D But why would you want to, if it is in your pocket no-one would see your awesome camera :D :D
NormanBates:
I don't think you got what I wanted to say
I think canon's blindness towards the big-sensor compact market is a bad thing for canon
phones are quickly going to eat most of the point-and-shoot market; people will only buy a camera if it offers more than what they already have in their phones, and that means either superzoom (an already mature market) or big-sensor compacts
and on the other side big-sensor compacts will eat a chunk of the low-end DSLR market, as they offer similar image quality in a smaller package
Alwyn:
Market share is a cold comfort when you've just spent thousands on a new camera and it all goes South. Then to top it all instead of assistance you get arrogance. This made me take my money to Nikon. Now I am by no means a Canon hater. I just refuse to support people who have no time for me when I have issues with a product which they manufactured.
