Ha, if the new canon lenses can hold up to a 75mp sensor, then you could shoot wide portraits at 75MP and crop closeups at 20-25mp. Could sort of become for photographers what 4k is for video people delivering at 1080.

9 years ago I got an 8 megapixel DSLR and was amazed at how big the images were and the detail involved. 8 was a big thing! Now I have 18 megapixels.... it's about time for ALL DSLR's to take a jump up.... 40 is the new 20... but 75!, that sounds like an attack on medium format.

... or 75/2 = 36 million image pixels with Dual Pixel AF ...
But 75 million image pixels / 4 means roughly 18 Mpix full color (R-G-G-B) pixels - not too bad for certain situations.
Just some ideas about a product that still doesn't exist on the market, will perhaps never exist and if, it is to expensive for me.

Ugh, with a RAW file size of what? 120MB?
So? Storage is cheap, and my computers are fast.

That's true and just today I am amazed by the 10 MPix of the 40D ... just a good beamer/monitor with at least 5 or 6 MPix is still missing/not available for mortals! What a mismatch between cameras and output devices ...

I upgraded yesterday from Pentium 4 3GHz-PC to a Core i7 CPU-Machine: What a progress ... its computing power is great but data transfer might become a bottleneck during backup etc. ...

Don't forget the 70D. This may be a 37.5 Mp camera with dual pixels. Use different exposures on each half-site, and you get expanded DR 14bit or 16 (like the ML trick).
Canon could also bin the pixels normally, but for tele, if cropping is desired, the unbined version could be selected (sort of like the Nokia purview).
Another alternative is lens correction. Due to the high sampling, distortion, CA, etc. can be corrected first with little loss before downsampling for storage.
Lots of things that can be done.
