I don't really keep up with digital product, so maybe this is common 
knowledge - are the big companies even working on (affordable) 
full-frame SLRs anymore? Seems like they and most users have become 
comfortable with smaller sensors.

Alternately, have there been any plans for fast primes for the smaller 
sensor? To get something comparable to my $250-300 EOS 50/1.4, you've 
got to go to the 35/1.4L at four times the price and quite a bit 
larger.
