The internet seems to be recycling our original post about a 70+mp EOS R camera with IBIS being next EOS R camera to be released.
We haven't heard anything additional since early March about the next EOS R camera. We were told then that the camera would be 70+mp, have IBIS, two card slots (one being SD), and we'd see the return of the joystick.
It makes a ton of sense for Canon to introduce IBIS on a high-resolution EOS R, as camera stability gains higher importance as you increase megapixels and 70mp+ is a lot of pixels.
On a side note, I've experienced a learning curve for getting sharp images from the Leica Q2 and it's likely down to the doubling of resolution over the original Q. You may have experienced a similar learning curve if you've used either the EOS 5DS or EOS 5DS R.
More to come…
and yeah it's probably close enough to compare against the R at 30MP downsized, if you're intelligent about it.
but this is for people that want big files, not people that are trying to make the camera something it's not really.
I fail to see how anyone would not welcome a lower resolution and higher framerate option on a high resolution camera.
I was surprised by that as well since it has the same pixel density as an APS-C Canon camera. But I have to admit I rarely had good results with the shutterspeed = 1/focal length rule, or (f1.6) for crop. I've always needed (f2) or faster on non-IS lenses.
Exactly. High resolution has three potential drawbacks: (1) worse DR and high ISO, (2) lower writing speed that affects continuous shooting and (3) much bigger raw files. Otherwise a high-res camera is better than low-res in all regards.
The latter two drawbacks may be fixed by simple in-camera downsampling to lower-res raws; the first one is probably harder to deal with. 75mp will probably be awesome for landscapes but only in case they remove AA filter and the DR is at least on par with 5DIV. If there's something like low-res 18mp mode with better high ISO and DR, it'd be an absolute must-buy thing for me.
But given Canon's history, I won't be surprised if the DR of the prospective camera is actually worse and there's no low-res high-DR mode.
Genuine question: can it be called lossless if you're downsampling? You're losing some data by combining pixels, surely?
(1) is essentially a myth for stills, as has been demonstrated numerous times on these forums (where's dtaylor when you need them?).
Would be nice if this would also have a positive effect on higher FPS then, but I doubt that.
I'd prefer high FPS and high ISO over high MP count.
But as I mentioned before in other threads I can fully understand that the first "pro" EOS R will address the high MP market.
Studio and landscape shooters are probably easier convinced to EVF over OVF that is still preferred by sports and wildlife shooters.
Why doesn't it make sense to have a lower MP option? Not every shooting situation requires 70 MP, especially true considering we don't have it yet.
Pro sports cameras aren't even up to 30 MP yet. If I had a 70 MP @ 5 fps and a 35 MP @ 8 - 10 fps option, both raw or raw + jpg with no caveats relating to focus and exposure/etc., that would be really handy.
It definitely didn't look bad among 5DIII and 6D. But follow your own link and add Nikon D810 that was released a year before 5DS..
The 5DS(r) uses an older-style sensor (than, say, the 5D4), I understand, so it's a difficult comparison to make - in any case this is not unambiguous evidence that the resolution is the cause of any differences.
Incidentally, while the pixels are smaller, and pixel-level noise may be higher, I understand that image noise will be the same (as another FF sensor of the same generation), and since noise reduction can be carried out more finely, the finished image may actually be cleaner from a higher-resolution sensor (people seem to confuse pixel- and image- level noise in these discussions, ditto motion blur etc).
Quite. My question was merely a matter of terminology. As for in-camera versus PP downsampling, I imagine those asking for the former expect a faster fps, but since it must take extra processing power to do it, I'm not sure if that would be the case (though it would save storage space on the memory card).
Hey now...I have to sleep sometime!
