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).
