=Why do you and others use the term 'full-format'? Surely there 
=are many different formats, of which 35mm is just one. My 
=Nikon D100 is 24mm format. The fact that it has a body and 
=lenses that are also used for 35mm film format doesn't make 
=the 24mm format automatically inferior. The 35mm film format 
=became a standard presumably because it offered the best 
=compromise between resolution and costs of bodies, lenses, and 
=film. Similarly 24mm digital format may also offer the best 
=compromise for the future, who knows. But there is certainly 
=nothing magic about 35mm format. A photographer using MF or LF 
=formats would say that 35mm format is just a small fraction of 
=their 'fuller' formats!
