<p><strong>It’s coming, just not as soon as you’d like

</strong>A couple of known sources have finally popped up to talk about all the high megapixel rumors floating around this site and others. While most of what we’ve posted has been [CR1], there still seems to be a level of truth to it. However, I’m told that IF there is an announcement in 2012 for a high megapixel camera, it would only be a development announcement. There is nothing in the way of marketing or production for the rumoured camera.</p>
<p>Canon has done a very good job in recent months locking down the rumor mill, even going as far as giving far less NDA’s to media types.</p>
<p>I am confident the prototypes are out there, we just may not get our hands on one for a long while yet.</p>

I've been using Canon for 12 years. I had film camera, then 20D, 5D, now 5D MK II. Now i am considering to sell my camera and all L-series lenses and switch to Nikon. Never tought it could happen to me! But what Canon is doing recently is just some kind of a joke. 6D is a big dissappoint to me, less mpx than MKII, higher price, no built in flash (I know it's funny but i wanted to use it as a family camera). Canon doesn't have breaktrough developments like in the past, this brand will become follower not leader soon (maybe it is already). The next thing they would announce: "Please customers don't buy Nikon, we will do something worse for much more money somewhen in the future. These rumors about a possibly developments are just trying to slower Nikon sellings. Won't work, Canon!

Yep. Got to love people who think more megapixels will automatically make them better photographers.

"development announcement" = 1 1/2 years
Until the real announcement and from there something in between 1-3 years until it starts shipping. You will eventually hold it in your hands in about 5 years.

A person has to be somewhat optimistic

I thought 1 1/2 years was realistic, as evidence the many posts I see asking if they should buy the 200x400 or buy something else.

It is 2 years and counting.

I have to say though, Canon seems to deliver bodies faster than lenses.

Has Canon really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like about the new sensors yet?

my head exploded trying to comprehend this question.

If you eventually understood, can you explain it to me please, cos I cannot grasp it.

I'll translate for you:

" I have been drinking a lot, so I can't do anything but surf the web right now "

This rumor sounds much more realistic. According to the last wave of rumors, Canon is supposedly developing a sensor focused on greater dynamic range and megapixels that just happens to address the biggest complaints of the vocal e-whiners, dynamic range and megapixels. Plus, the rumored 46 megapixels just happens to coincide with a 18 megapixel APS-C sensor scaled up to full-frame. It was all a bit too convenient, don't you think ;D?

Well, I think Canon really has been far even as didn't decide not to use even go want not to do look still more like about the new sensor.

Heptagon, Marekjoz ,

Are you guys drinking buddies? ;)


ROFL, LMAO, fell off my chair, etc...

On a serious note- I know we all like a nice rumor and to imagine what we can get in the future- but are the 5DIII/1Dx/1DsIII so bad that the Canon shooters who need high megapixels are out of work until the 46MP comes out?
Also, it is amusing to see how much wrath the 6D incurs without even being available for use... :)

My answer was in fact directed to OP only, as I was sure that only he would understand it properly :D
