So affordable big sensors seem a way off. In the meantime, I am having fun with my 10D and buying only regular EOS lenses so that if that affordable full-frame sensor arrives, I don't have to buy new lenses. They are coming out with some digital-only lenses for the 1.6 sensor but they appear to be only zooms.
