Please  explain further the last paragraph of your message. I don't 
understand  what you are saying there. A 1Ds full frame 24 megapixel 
equal to the  20D?

Thanks

I'm just saying that if Canon were to take the amazing performance of the  
20d's electronics, maintain the same well site pitch, and make a full frame chip 
 with it, they would have a 24 Megapixel Super-Baaaaad Big Dog SLR that they  
could advertise as having more pixels than the more expensive Medium Format  
backs.
 
Since the average resolution of premium Canon glass is 20-100% higher than  
medium format glass, they would compare favorably with the MF backs/MF cameras  
costing much more so a jump from 16 Megapixels to 24 is entirely feasible  
RIGHT NOW if they want to do it.
 
But it's all words on my part not theirs.
