I hope that "all new flagship model" packs a full frame sensor. I read some rumors on cnet that Nikon is planning to release a full frame model similar to the Canon 5D next year as well. Like the guy in the first post said, I'm all for more choice. More competition means better products for the consumer.
I think the speculation is that the flagship model will be slightly less than full frame due to the fact that the image stabilizer system needs the edges of the sensor to function. So even if the sensor is full frame, the edges are reserved for use by the IS system so the actual effective frame size is less unless they use a larger than full frame sensor (which is doubtful).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
