[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 117396, member: 3903"] It's difficult to forecast this thing because there are so many factors that come into play. It's one thing to be able to produce these FX sensors, but it's something else to be able to sell them. At first, sensors were really small and the technology to make them bigger was said to be too expensive. Well guess what, now both Canon, and Nikon and Leica and others are all making and selling them. What is really complicating things is that consumers (who make for maybe about 90% of buyers of new cameras) seem to be quite happy with the actual APS size sensors. The quality is amazing (24mega pixels) nice lenses, good weather sealing so the companies have come to a stand still I think. Remember the first HD TVs, they were costing somewhere around 10,000 to 15,000 $. Now they're down to 500-1,500 $. They try to make us want 3D but it seems people think they are OK with the HD of today and 3D are not selling that much anymore. So I think I might be digressing. Today's market is all about numbers of units that they can sell. The product might have 100 times the definition from it's predecessor, if people are just looking at pictures on their HD tvs or computers and facebook, FX cameras will be for the elite photographers that will keep printing large. But, there is still that mystical wishful thinking that if I buy a better camera my pictures will become so so much better… So, only future will tell. If companies can't sell enough Full frames camera to survive while making a profit, then there is not a lot of hope to see lower prices. So, all in all, I think that DX is here to stay because of the number of units already sold that will still take wonderful pictures for years to come and FX will be for pros or advanced amateurs like myself. The way I see it, the biggest main FX advantage for me is HIGH ISO performance. For normal people, that is not that important. Let's give it a few years and then I can come back here to read myself and see if I made any sense. Enjoy your Nikons! [/QUOTE]
