No full sized CCD's

"With regard to the sensors designed for DSLR's, even Canon still has trouble with its full frame sensors, i.e. soft edges on wide angles, mushy wide landscape shots with zoom lenses . More of an optics problem than anything, but the solution as Nikon remains insistent on is the APS sensor, "smaller is better".
I believe the largest sensor we'll see trickle down anywhere near this segment will be the APS, which will boast advantages to the full frame systems. However, we won't see this sensor implemented before they hand down a 1/2 and/or 2/3 sensor, which I say is only 1 to 2 camera cycles away". dixit Digigenic
=======================================================

I'm out of topic here, but i have to buy a digital SLR for commercial use.
Do you mean i should avoid full frame SLR ?
What is your suggestion then ?

thanks
 
@digigenic
Not quite, yes I have read the report about the UHD camera experiments by NHK because the images looked quite real people felt motion sickness (but doesn't indicate that they could'nt tell the difference, however you would still need around 576 megapixels (conservative) to equate to what we see.

PS wow, thats twice I've referenced this, well I guess its not a surprise since many people always have so many misconceptions about the eye
 
Great article Anhar... I don't think that my left eye resolves that much res though... too much staring at compter monitors in the edit!
 
think of the quality of DOF you would have with a full frame ccd/cmos?

it would be game over, and you would never have to buy a new camera. I think this is one of the reasons they will not sell one.
 
Actually more like no one could afford one. Arri has a 1 inch CCD camera. If you have $600,000 you too can have one. What you folks don't seem to grasp is it is very difficult to make larger chips. IT's cost prohibitive for professional cameras and impossible for prosumer cameras unless someone invents nanotechnology to make the CCD's.
 
Oh Walter, stop it with your excuses already!
Don't you see this is a conspiracy keeping us all down??

The only thing standing between me and the perfect movie is a 1 inch CCD chip.
But the MAN won't give me access.

As much as you joke it was actually offering better technology at cheaper prices that hurt these companies in some ways.
