This makes me sad, honestly. So, now that sweet juicy FF sensor is no longer a FF sensor after corrections. And, oh boy, does it have to lob off quite a thick chunk of light gathering surface area. That f2.8 aperture just got kicked in the teeth for those hoping to do astro work with the lens.

This is a hyperbolic overreaction, even by the standards of hyperbole common to forum whiners.

I fear camera companies will keep using digital corrections as a crutch in cases where doing it optically isn't too much more effort or cost.

But, at least it is cheap by Canon standards.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
