I am a professional sports photographer and I can tell you the idea of a camera at half size will not be embraced. The camera seems now the perfect size as it is a good size to hold with one hand. Remember, we are putting huge lens on this camera like a 400 2.8 or 600 4.0.
Finally, the idea of a new lens mount does not sit well at all! We have all put $20K, $30K in lens and do not want to switch.
Also, most of us don't need a 22MP camera. I have an 8MP 1D Mark II and the files are large enough doing the photojournalism work that I do.
