This topic is very interesting. 

I read, in a french magazine, that each pixel has now his minimum size 
(~9micrometers) and the sensor must become lagger than APS like size. 

So what do you think : 

- will a larger sensor be improved to accept (even through sofwares) not 
parallel light 

or 

- need the lenses be redesigned (specially WA)

or both ? 

as even this recent design C*non 17-40L is suffering this resolution drop... ?
