Canon EOS R body with more than 75mp on the horizon [CR2]

The Fat Fish · Nov 25, 2018

I really hope it’s not resolution for the sake of it. When the 5DSR was released I hired it alongside the D810 and always picked up the D810. You got a few less megapixels but the files were much cleaner. Better low light performance, better dynamic range and less noise.

The 5DIV was a step in the right direction and the sensor was much better than the 5DSR. Let’s hope the sensor holds up in areas other than just resolution.

I imagine that most CR readers are as unsurprised by this rumor as I am (not so much).

Exciting times ahead for photographers who have learned to trust Canon, and enticing times ahead for all of us (some non-Canon shooters) who know how to use these wonderful tools.

As I've posted previously here, I've postponed my purchase of the 11-24 EF lens--I'm looking forward to what Canon offers in the R mount wide-angle 'version'.

I just hope they don't forget equipping it with 4k recording with the appropriate crop for the video enthusiasts.

umm how bout 35-45MP Pro EOS R ALL AROUND MODEL with DUAL DIGICS something for us DO-ALL Shooters of fashion,portraits and sports 7-9fps with continuous AF and better full frame 4K video and AF and DUAL CARD SLOTS nobody cares about 75MP

Interested in this and certainly the new RF lenses. I will need to see some improvement in DR and higher ISO performance for it to really be a winner in my mind. Could also make a great wildlife camera if the FPS are anything about 4 or 5 FPS.

Another pointless megapixel race, without IBIS,high dynamic range and and flawless working Eye detection this seems overkill.

mb66energy · Nov 25, 2018

What about DPAF with horizontal AND vetical AF capabilities by alternating orientations of the dual pixel groups? Would make it much easier than Quad Pixel architectures (2 times the data compared to DP).

And essantially a 17 Mpixel camera with RGGB-Arrays for each image pixel ... if they manage to make an on-chip readout for these arrays. So maybe dual use: very high res (landscape, product) OR better low light IQ and faster tracking with lower pixel count (all types of action).

LOL. As always lots of people claiming this camera is pointless when what they simply mean is that the camera isn't the one they want. There are plenty of people, myself included, who would make great use of this.

If you have some 10500 pixel image width you can use close to 8k pixels width for video and the crop would be around 1.3: Using 2x2 R/GG/B pixels is easy to convert to RGB colors: No debayering necessary - maybe that is some idea to increase the pixel count?

Amen!

This is the camera that i have been waiting for

Rockskipper · Nov 25, 2018

Better have a fast computer processor for those kind of images, plus lots of memory. And can PS keep up?
And if you're a pixel peeper, you're *******!

I remember the year 2000 when I had a 1600X1200 pixel camera. There was no need for images of that size because they were larger than any display could show, and here we are now, 18 years later, and the same argument continues

For some people, this is true. For others, false. If the camera is not for you, so what? Don't deny others their tool.

Thirded.

I would be so grateful for a mirrorless 5DV no later than 2020 (provided it does what I'd like it to, namely: 1) has a lightning fast sensor readout, 2) dual slots, 3) incredible eye AF)

We want 75mp cat pictures Don, not some 2mp nature scene. Get on it please.

Sounds intriguing. The entry level model.... hmm that would be more my speed but what could they cut from the R?

razorzec · Nov 25, 2018

So, how would they name it?

EOS RDs? RDs R? Rs? RsR? RR?

RGF · Nov 25, 2018

interesting ... wonder if the R lenses will support this resolution?

Also would be nice to see if Canon could solve the problem of keeping AF working at high FPS in ML camera

My feeling is that the "R" is the introductory model, and that what comes next will be painfull to our bank accounts
