I think it would be really cool if the lcd could display the white and black info so you could really judge exposure. Be nice if you took a shot and it told you white was 235 and black was 35. Would be useful along side the histogram and blinking indicators, no?
 
Mentioned before and I hope it's coming...

One amazing 1-series body with interchangeable sensors. That way, if you don't need the higher resolution, you don't have to pay for it. But if you do, the option is there. I see a cartridge style system. Would make for easier sensor cleaning too, wouldn't you think?

Isn't that how Medium format works? You buy the camera and digital back separately?

To me, a digital camera is like buying a camera that includes a lifetime supply of film. The only catch is that you can't change brands of film for that camera.

kinda around the same thing .... I'd like canon to change the exposure system to be configurable to meter and expose to the right based upon the scene versus try to match exposure for jpg / normal workflows. that would save me alot of work :)

Well that's true, but for those of us who have invested heavily on
lenses, a DSLR with interchangeable backs would be awesome.

Well, having $$$ in lenses, one can think about the DSLR as a kind of 'interchangeable back' anyway... e.g. 1D for ISO, 1Ds for resolution ;)

How about a lenshood that "changes" its shape as the focal length changes? The shape of all lenshoods for all lenses is obviously optimized for the lowest focal length of the zoom setting. Once you move to a higher focal length, you could have a longer lens hood (which would be desirable as it blocks more light).

One way to achieve this would be to have integrated lenshoods as the 200/2.8 Mk. I, or the 300/4L. You "activate" the lens hood by turning it until some mechanism locks it. The hood is connected to the zoom ring, and as you zoom, you "zoom" the lens hood as well.

that's the design of the 24-70 L hood actually.

A whole new camera body with its insides would be cheaper than a camera that allows its sensor to be switched. Too much intrical electronics, integration, and firmware issues to have a camera able to use a removeable sensor.

Why mess with the hassle of a removeable, and loseable, sensor when you can just switch to a 2nd body? That'd be a hell of a lot faster than switching sensors on the fly! :)
