Some rumors have indicated that Canon bodies in test eat batteries, which got me to thinking...
Suppose the new bodies are testing a triple-sensor design. That is, light is pushed through a trichromic prism to three CMOS sensors, one each for RGB. It is essentially a very old idea, but eliminating the Bayer sensor would improve both low light capability and effective resolution. Such a design would be bulky and would eat batteries, but it is a potential pathway to improved capabilities for high end DSLRs.
I suspect such a sensor array at around 40Mp (x 3) would be competitive with current MF cameras.
Just a thought. You may now return to your regularly scheduled rumors. ;D
