Agreed. Even after you do go full frame, it's nice to keep a second APS-C body around for telephoto and macro situations where the reach is a big advantage.

RED is proposing an interchangable system in their upcoming Scarlet and EPIC digital cinema cameras.
  • Brain (sensor and electronics).
  • Lens mount (Nikon, Canon, RED, PL, etc.: take your pick).
  • I/O module (video/audio stuff)
  • Multiple battery options (between 1 and 140 batteries).
  • Wireless remote
  • Electronic Viewfinder
  • Handles
  • Recording modules (solide state, compact flash, hdd, etc.)
  • LCD and tons of other accessories



The idea is to mix and match whatever features are needed for a given camera.
