not at all, no, but their sensor division has fallen asleep since years back
Sorry, I wasn't aware that Canon sold sensors. I thought they sold cameras.
of course canon entered the graveyard long time ago..
The most revolutionary Canon product ever was 5D mark 2 back in 2007-2008. Canon died after that.
If that's true, Canon is market-dominating zombie.
Hope technology = significant improvements in sensor architecture and designNikon uses their own sensors as well as Sony sensors. however, Glass is far more important than bodies, and the photographer is far more important than either.
been seeing a lot of that from competing brands like Sony and Nikon, wait Nikon's using Sony's sensor right? So I guess it's just Sony??
I would not worry about a tiny difference in sensors.

Yes, as far as I know sensor technology is from Sony. Nikon is limited to provide electronics and software in addition to Sony's sensor. That must be fairly limiting on a development side (i.e. not to be able to design/control the entire setup), but Nikon is still able to provide something good in this situation, which is quite impressive.
For the Same sensor in Sony Cams and in Nikons... the Nikons seem to extract better DR and noise for the same analog sensor... Tells me Nikon's AD and amplification algo's are perhaps superior...
In some ways, Canon is like Intel... Nikon like AMD... AMD once beat Intel to the 1Ghz mark, caught it napping, because Intel was both arrogant and lazy... but then it came back with a Bang and AMD is still playing catch up after a decade... so there is precedent in the tech industry for catching up and reversing the lead. AMD is now slashing prices to make it's products interesting.... Nikon is already feeling the pressure and competatively pricing it's products trying to get back market share...
This year Nikon sensors have been good. Lets see what Canon brings to the table with the 180uM process...

lol yeah new technology for canon, ancient for other brands..
Can you please enlighten us as to what might be ancient technology for you? Are you talking about medium format or Nikon's D800? If yes, what's your point? Canon has been told not to push the megapixels for years. Nikon has been told to do the exact opposite. Both vendors reacted to the demands of their customer base.
Should they rather focus on the point and shoot consumer market and leave the high end stuff to professionals?
That would surely be one-way a ticket to the graveyard, since the competition from mobile phones is steadily eliminating the entire consumer P&S market.....they are going to continue losing market share to Nikon in my opinion.
So, you're saying that Nikon is going to continue their trend of gaining market share from Canon. A trend that has lasted for exactly the one most recent quarter of the last four years. Okay-dokay, we'll see...
Unlikely. It's not exactly a consumer product. I asked my Zeiss rep about Christmas specials on confocal microscopes - he laughed.
If you should have the double resolution then you need 72 Mp
I think there is a big difference in resolution , look at X and the text authentic beers
Look who cares about the labels below the name? Only pixel peepers care about those. Viewers only look at the image for like 2 seconds and move on. What matters is the actual composition and exposure, not silly things like resolution or detail.
what about a Canon 1DX vs Nikon D4 comparison??? If D800 is on pair with 1Dx that means D4 is way ahead...
