Or may be not... Who really knows? For now it seems unlikely that FF will ever be popular. Demand is low and thus production too hence price high... And it seems that pros prefere cameras as good photographics tools - that's why APS-C sensor based D2X is and was selling much better than FF Kodaks even though their price was very similar.
