Any news on the SL1 sensor?

[Zv]

It is sad, that a big company like Canon sells this 18MP sensor for four years in many different cameras.
Like using the same film in every camera in the analog days.
I loved the Ilford FP4, but sometimes I used a PAN F or a Fuji Neopan 1600.

Not sad at all. Quite remarkable really how they managed it! If it aint broke ...

I also handled one at my local Costco. To me it felt so small that it didn't balance well with the kit zoom lens. Not enough body to hold on to. It might feel right to me with the 40 pancake, but I have an S-90 and a T2i for those times when I need a small camera. I don't see the SL1 filling any useful role for me and since the sensor is nothing special, it's a big yawn here.
