So I didn't even think to clarify that I meant stills full frame :) Yeah, I was mainly just answering specifically for DSLRs since the APS-C chip the OP was inquiring about is (as far as i know) only found in DSLRs.

So far it has been very accidental and more about film makers seeing the potential in these cameras and wanting this kind of depth of field and solid state etc rather than companies like Canon designing purpose made products. This has been supported by the a flood of photographers jumping into video as the market value of photography crashes and commercial internet video production takes hold. It will be interesting to see if Canon can bring this technology into a product designed from the outset for the purpose of film making as so far they have really just been reacting to a phenomenon that has caught them by surprise. I hope he won't mind me saying but I still think Philip's work shot on DVCAM for channel 5 is the best work on his site. No big chips but there's no compromise and it shows.

Whilst the "FF" format is bigger than the main prevailing motion image formats, many of these achieved their dominance for reasons of technical practicality, economics and sufficient quality for the delivery mediums of the day. Therefore it's surely possible that aesthetically better formats will come along as things progress. After all 4:3 was dominant for many years but few are arguing that is a reason in itself for sticking with it. That all said "FF" may well prove a step too far for many, it's greatest strength, shallow depth of field, being also it's greatest weakness in many shooting situations. I think a fair few will have unfortunate experiences shooting with it. The 7D appears to have addressed a lot of the issues with the 5D and with it's perhaps more practical, and closer to movie 35mm format, will probably be a better solution for many everyday uses.

With the 7D, you get the body only for $1,699.

Tiny, tiny, tiny!!!!

It had, and continues to have, severe limitations as a "professional video camera." Which is why Canon came out now with their SECOND GENERATION HD-SLR, the EOS 7D. This new camera remedies many of the 5D2's shortcomings on the video side. However, if we wait until the fall of 2010, I am sure that Canon will be releasing their THIRD GENERAYION HD-SLR model that will likely outdoo what the 7D can now do for us.
