this is my 3rd canon but I am waiting for a full sized sensor on a P&S I want a SLR but cant carry that big a rig around. I still prefer a much finer

Is there a question here? It's pretty hard to get an SLR sized sensor into a compact point and shoot. The only company that I know that puts an SLR sensor in any kind of point and shoot is Sony, who puts their dSLR sensor from the Alpha line into their H series point and shoots. The bigger cameras by Canon, such as the G9 are getting close to having an SLR-like sensor, but still may be another release before one comes out. I'd wait for Photokina, which is happening this month to see if anythings coming out. Also, I hope you're not talking about a full framed sensor; in which case I doubt any Point and Shoot will have that for at least a long time.

I was :-) but im not an expert aand wasn't sure if the size was a problem with everything getting smaller, they put the same 12mp sensor in a canon camera half the size off the 650 so I was just wondering. If I got a SLR what would be the best mid range brand aa nikon or canon??
