High Megapixel Camera Coming in 2015 [CR3]

[Canon Rumors]

<p>We have confirmed that a high megapixel camera is coming from Canon in 2015 and it will be around 50mp. The camera will not be an EOS-1 style body, so don’t expect the price to be above $4000.</p>
<p>We have yet to confirm when in 2015 the camera is coming, as the exact date may be unknown to Canon at the time of writing this.</p>
<p>More to come once more is confirmed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/11/another-50mp-ff-dslr-mention-cr2/" target="_blank">Some of what was in this previous post has been confirmed</a> as far as resolution and body style.</p>

So let's see, if the sensor is from Sony or not and how it will perform.

I bet on it being a Canon sensor. My guess is it will have the 5DIII AF System, and probably less than 4 fps.

Hi,
I bet it won't call "3D"... hmm... unless it can also shoot 3D photo... ;D

Have a nice day.

OK! Where is my 5DMkIV with 22Mp 8fps, 65AFpoint system, 13EV DR at ISO 100 (you see I am reasonable) and 1 stop improvement in high ISO over 5D3 (you see I continue being reasonable ;D ) ??

Let´s hope the IQ is on an high level. Then I see many of us buying it.
Sir, an 5DIII AF system would be great. I could live with 4fps (maybe 5-6 I hope)...
Great new news.

But who needs this? Nikon made a 'dud' D800 according to many on CR.

Just kidding. Bring it on! Beat Nikon at its own game. Bit late, but its ok.

More megapixels is only part of the problem.

Better megapixels is the more significant problem that Canon faces.

If it simple scales up any of its current APS-C sensors to full frame then it won't address the megapixel quality problem.

On the other hand if it gets a 46MP sensor from Sony, well, all bets are off....

Sir, I do not think, that Conon will release an "bad-sensored" camerabody. Maybe the IQ is not the the IQ you get from the Nikon D800E or Sony A7 36MP. I hope - it will be on an equal level like the IQ of todays Canon products.
Just think of, what will happen to Canon if this Camera is rubbish? They will never release an under-average product.
Maybe it took so long to developa an good high MP sensor.

NOT a camera for my use. But I rejoice for those who need more megapixel. I'm glad more for shut up those who made mockery of Canon sensors in recent years, but will not buy anyway.

Same to me.
But I am interested what Canon dev. dep. can and will do and what they will need from third party (e.g. sensor?).

Landscape AND Studio body?

Same here.

Landscape AND Studio body?

It would have the same pixel density as the 7D2/70D and thus places the same requirements on holding the camera still, lens quality in the centre, etc.

Are those two cameras landscape/studio bodies?

Your first post has conjecture, your second and reply to my query is a statement. All in all neither of your comments have merit.

My post refers to areas of photography which require great detail. Also a studio body is something Canon has not produced since 2007.

Not a camera I'll be buying either, but I'll be following developments with interest!

They'll find something else to bitch about, say DR at base ISO and noise pattern.

 

[pdirestajr]

When does diffraction kick in on a 50mp 35mm sensor?! How would this be good for landscapes or studio shots where you stop down? Wouldn't scaling up a lower mp shot probably look the same?

 

[ajfotofilmagem]

If it is a Canon sensor then my bet is that the IQ will be about the same as 7D2/70D and that the graphs and measurements from DxO will be about the same for all three.

The same DXO score the 7D Mark ii?

Impossible. :-X The reason the sensors EXMOR 36 megapixel get very high scores on DXO is the down convert to 8 megapixel, which dramatically increases the theoretical DR. :

A Canon sensor with the same technology 7D Mark II, but "stretched" up to 50 megapixel, would get much better score when DXO down convert to 8 megapixel, and the theoretical DR would overcome any camera that Canon has released to date.

Perhaps it will just be a repeat of

Excellent news, same as many others not a camera for me but this is going to be very interesting!
I'm assuming that this is not going to be the 5DIV though! that I think would be really bad news.

Canon Rumor's link to the post from November says the new camera will be placed above the 5D line.
