I think FF sensors will be limited to pro/enthusiast cameras in the near future, possible for a very long time. The advantages of a FF sensor is something a very very small part of the consumers are even aware of, less so willing to pay for it.
My guesstimation is that DSLR sales are going to decline in favor for EVIL cameras, and we don\'t even have a FF EVIL today. And if someone were to announce such a camera, they basically will need a new set of lenses, possibly a new mount. On top of that, the production cost for a FF sensor is a lot more than a crop. However, there are one manufacturer which have everything they need to build a FF EVIL, including a consumer base not afraid of using the available manual focus lenses ...
Sony needs to do a lot better on the corners of the frame with wide angle lenses before advancing on to FF. Maybe they would (should?) need to increase the FTF registration distance for FF? Seeems something needs to be done for the current situation using APS-C
