Brainiac, I can\'t see how Canon could introduce a FF camera for the price of 50D, since it would need to offer at least the same as 50D in Digic IV, VF, AF, etc..., plus bear the extra cost associated with FF.
But Canon is further down the full frame sensor path than any competitor, so it should be reaping economies. The low end full frame camera could even have a sensor like that in the current 5D, but just have liveview and a couple of other updates, a cheap shutter and a slowish frame rate. I\'m thinking of a full frame version of the 1000D, perhaps in the existing 5D body style. The main goal would be to produce the cheapest full frame body they can, while getting over a couple of the obsolescenses found in the current 5D.
