Would you want an APS-C camera with an RF mount?

This is really interesting.

First of all, to explain, the reason why I and many others would think it would be good to just have one mount is because many start with APS-C then go up to 'full frame'. I'm not sure about numbers but I know many full-frame users used to shoot APS-C so being able to bring up some lenses with the 'upgrade' can save on cost. Also, many sports and wildlife photographers prefer APS-C for the reach, but may still want a 'full frame' camera for other purposes, so sharing lenses there can be nice. Same with being able to share lenses between a more compact kit and a more 'professional' kit.

However, from what I'm hearing, many would say that with a drop in 'full frame' prices and an increase in resolution (for cropping), the arguments above lose some of their value.

Thanks for entertaining my curiosity!
