With CMOS there's no need for three chips. Canon's full frame CMOS DSLRs have phenomenal image quality and no CA issues. One chip means better images, less power draw, no CA issues, and cheaper/better glass.

The dream is a Canon 1920x1080 CMOS chip in full 35mm size with an EOS EF mount writing to CF/SD/Expresscard slots or firewire with an selectable 25/50/100Mbps codec.

I have been wondering if Canon is holding out till they can release an video codec chip based on the new Jpeg standard, that is said to be equivalent to Jpeg2000 (which would be similar to H264 Intra) but is an enhancement to existing Jpeg. If they switched to any of these new codecs it would be an great improvement at 100mb/s. I would love an noise free, high latitude, sensitive, 50p Canon 35mm or TX2 at 100mb/s.

I guess there is as much chance of Panasonic Lumix doing this than Canon.
