1.5x crop - whatever, follows what Nikon said they would do.
Interesting to see if they keep the noise down and what the Canon

It's interesting to think about how this pushes lens development in a

existing lenses, but the smaller sensor reduces angle-of-incidence
problems and reduces the image circle demanded.
