maybe for the next gen hubble or something.like someone else said, Its more than likely they did it just to do it. Learning along the way to develop cameras for us the consumer. maybe they're making something similar to the leica m9.
Canon doesn't need to learn how to make 120mp sensors, they need an experimental 24mp sensor that shoots clean low noise images at ISO 102,400. Or perhaps a 24mp sensor with 3x's the dynamic range of the current generation sensors.
Well if they can make a 120mp APS-H sensor that has clean high iso performance, then they should be able to take the technology and apply it to a smaller APS-C, APS-H, and full frame sensor with even greater results.
I mean, the government experimented with rockets, zero G space studies, and the likes of which 99.9% of the population will never get to see or experience first hand, but most of which will benefit from in their day to day lives.
