Would like to see a full frame, larger individual sensores, and bigger file size (ie higher megapix). Reasons are not for bragging rights, but: Full frame giving full use of wide angle lenses; larger file size giving more room for cropping and also more acceptance for stock photography; and larger individual sensors for improved low light or high iso results. Having said that, I don't know why I'd feel good about switching manufacturer to Panasonic from Kodak. I like the look I get the Kodak-sensor-processed files. Plus, I always think of Panasonic as being very heavily oriented toward consumer photography vs. high end, very expensive, hopefully professional cameras. I own and love an M8.
