Re: 50D & SX1 Replacements Next Week?
10mp would be a mistake, but I think many would be happy to see 14-15mp if it meant 2 stops better performance than the 40D. The 50D's 15mp was a good upper limit for APS-C sized sensor but its high ISO was a let down...
There is physics that argues against too high of a density. Densities like those of the G11 would NOT BE GOOD.
unfocused said:How would the market react on a 60D with 10mp?
That's easy. Sales would drop through the floor.
Nikon is going to a 16mp sensor on the D95. Canon isn't going to put a completely new sensor in the 60D (especially one that most consumers would view as being less desirable than the Nikon's). That's not the niche the camera is meant to fill. They can use their 18mp Rebel/7D sensor and still stay ahead of Nikon in the Great Pixel Race.
