I doubt they have the money to develop two separate technologies. I'm also guessing that a GOOD full frame chip is prohibitively expensive and would price the camera right out of the market. Canon makes their own chips for the 1ds II, which must be a lot cheaper than buying them from a supplier. So, it looks like we will get a x1.37 crop factor and maybe full frame down the road.
