Sometimes after we report something, it brings about some contradictory information soon after. Yesterday we reported that a source was “80% sure” than the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III would house a 24.x megapixel sensor.
This is what makes the rumor mill fun.
Shortly afterwards we were told by an anonymous source that the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III would actually sport a 20.1-megapixel sensor, which would mean it's staying with about the same resolution as the EOS-1D X Mark II. The source claimed to be “100% sure”.
If any of our known sources could corroborate this information one way or another, we'd appreciate it.
Remember, this a rumors site, contradictions in information happen a fair bit before the truth gets nailed down.
A rumor has to be plausible somehow (especially from an anonymous source)!
The big question remains though.
As a betting man, I would look at 24.x sensor. There is a resolution war going on between Canon and Sony.
You're going to need to cut off sources that give you bogus information, this one is 100% sure? Eventually we will know, BUT if they are wrong I'd suggest deleting them from your contacts as they clearly make crap up.
