10D MKII = 9MP 1.5X do make some sense.
Why?
9MP at 1.5X requires the same size pixel as 8MP 1.6X. Canon can do this sensor like a cookie cutter, easy.
1.5X also makes some sense. Canon will have a 1MP advantage over Nikon's D70. It also won't eat into 1D-MK2's customer base. 8MP/1.3X is still better than 9MP/1.5X.
Economically speaking, 4 sensors would be ridiculously expensive to produce. I don't think they'd even consider it unless the new 300D is going to be a 1.5x and they're going to stop producing the 1.6x.
