Nikon's problem is they don't have the funds to research and design their 
own sensors and they're depending on others (Sony I believe?)

It's true the APS-C sensor size is becoming a new standard for upper 
amateur/pro entry level cameras. The FF discussions concern mostly those who 
intend to use their old glass. 

The future will show what other new/pold standards we'll have.
