New Canon full frame?

I'm still unsure on this rumour.

Surely an entry level Full-Frame will cannibalise sales of the 5D mkii, the mkii that is still selling and the 7D and 60D... obviously those two might also be replaced though.

The fact that the 5Dmk2 is still on sale proves there's a market for a cheaper, lower spec FF camera than the 5Dmk3. If such a new body were introduced, it'd presumably replace the 5Dmk2.
 
Thing is, at this price point, is there really any point comparing Canon with Nikon?

Once you're in the market for a £1500 body, you've most likely already bought fairly heavily into one system or the other and aren't likely to change.
 
You are wrong, in film SLRs there was such a thing as a crop sensor, it was called APS-C, funnily enough the same standard that was then used by Pentax, Nikon and Sony to make their APS-C crop cameras. Before digital cameras even existed Film SLRs were tanitioning to a crop format!

Were there any APS SLRs? I know there were compacts and even bridge cameras that used the APS system, but full SLRs?

I had a APS-C film camera, it came in a cartridge, it was convenient to load but the photo quality are rubbish. It's no where near as good as Fuji Reala or NPH or Velvia.

Still have my APS camera, an Olympus Centurion, in the cupboard :) If you want old though, my first proper SLR was a Ricoh KR10, circa 1980 - that's how ancient I am :p
