Roger Cicala’s X-Mas Wishlist (the Canon part)

The wish list is not just about Canon. However, I totally agree when R. Cicala writes

Canon: An 0.18 µm CMOS fabrication plant is what they really need, Santa. If that won’t fit in the sleigh, then maybe you could bring them a few million Sony sensors. Something around 36 megapixels would be nice.

Oh, and maybe some 200-400 f/4 IS lenses. They seem to have lost theirs. You know, the ones they announced in 2009?
