MORE Canon Mega-Pixels, 250 of them, but none for you!

[Tinky]

Is it

A) Because it's actually an APS-HDTV sensor, not the made up APS-H format: they are going after the 70mm widescreen movie market

B) Because Canon don't see so called full frame as the be all and end all? They leave that to 5D owners.

C) Because the 1D line is going to diverge again. This chip is for the 1DV. The 1DXs gets 19MP but a stop more DR.

Love it!

The laugh is that I was has having a laugh, but with todays news I fear I might have inadvertantly hit the nail squarely on the head.

No doubt they'll use this monster sensor with their new super hi-res printing system. As long as there's a direct print button, I'll take two.
