Why? 8K gives an uncropped 33MP image, if they have full sensor readout they only need to use a 34MP sensor.Canon was demoing 8K monitors at their last technology expo in 2015.
And yes, you can see the difference between 1080, 4K and 8K.
8K means a 50MP+ sensor.
8K needs much more CPU power which would also be available for a host of in camera stills processing operations.
This. Canon doesnt have a single camera (not in their cine line) that shoots uncropped 4k. And they're talking 8k?Hahahahaha... How about proper 4K first Canon?
Always Mañana.
And what are you lacking sensor wise? DR? The difference between the brands is so small as to be silly. IQ? Canon again is right there. Color is noted by those in the know as definitively superior in Canon. DPAF trashes everyone else.
I doubt you or anyone else can see the difference except for color science in any photo by any sensor on the market today.
PS in DR Canon generally meets or exceeds all others as ISO climbs beyond 100.

They appear to still be one stop behind Sony in raw DR at the low ISO end (if that is important to you -- it isn't to me) but they still don't seem to have really moved their AFE completely onto the chip which (IMO) limits their ability to get the data off the sensor in a hurry to minimize that stupid freeze frame in the VF in rapid shooting. Apparently, the Sony top of the line shoots rapidly without any freeze frame between shots. To really properly "ape" the DSLR in a fast mirrorless, they need to fix this.And what are you lacking sensor wise? DR? The difference between the brands is so small as to be silly. IQ?

It makes a lot of sense to make a 34MP sensor for the 1DX MkIII which could also be used in an 8K mirrorless...Ask yourself, does Canon make a 34MP sensor?
Do they already have a 50MP sensor?
Does it make sense to design a 34MP sensor or improve the 50MP one?
i would like 34mp APS-CAsk yourself, does Canon make a 34MP sensor?

Wait, is that the camera HarryFilm already has on his desk? Or is it hanging from the coat hook in the cockpit of his helicopter?I'm sure Sony will release a 16k ff mirrorless the week Canon announces, and it will have infinite DR and cost just $1200 USD. I mean, why wouldn't they? They know what people want and they can do anything.![]()
That's for a video sensor. A photo sensor has a different aspect ratio.Why? 8K gives an uncropped 33MP image, if they have full sensor readout they only need to use a 34MP sensor.
8K in 3:4 ratio is 45MP. CFast cards writing speeds are, AFAIK, just shy of 400MB/s. So lets assume Canon can make a camera that shoots 45MP at 10 fps.
What would be the usage scenario? Sports photographs cropped 50% and printed to cover a wall?

Really so where do I buy an 8K monitor or smart TV to watch the video from this camera. Being a 100% still shooter I wish they would make investments in better sensors than this Niche stuff.
Oversampling will provide cleaner & better colour gamut on 8K resized to 4K just as its doing in Cinema cameras today.Really so where do I buy an 8K monitor or smart TV to watch the video from this camera.
