35mm format is 35mm and only relates to 35mm sensors the technology to make smaller sensors would mean that you can get more pixels onto a 35mm format sensor, the actual size of the current crop of DSLR sensors is unlikely to change because of the wide angle issue, as it is on a APS-c sensor wide angle is only possible with ultra wide lenses, making the sensors even smaller would make wide-angle virtually impossible, if DSLR manufacturers employ this new smaller sensor technology they are more likely to use it to produce larger resolution cameras rather than DSLRs with a smaller sensor. (if of course they employ any form of logic)

The Truth is Out There
