I have no comment on the veracity of the rumor, but I wrote a few years back that I believe that the high end cropped sensor bodies in Canon\'s line (currently the 7D) would eventually migrate to full frame, and at a price point very similar to that of the existing cropped sensor versions. While there are a few people who won\'t be please (e.g. - some BIF photographers and similar), in most other regards this could be a great decision for Canon.

In the longer term, I sort of suspect that we might perhaps eventually (a ways off!) see all Canon DSLRs move to full frame, with the smaller formats largely or completely reserved for other types of cameras, such as the new G1X and related subsequent cameras.
