Canon to release a 100mp EOS R system camera next year [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Yes , that's probably what Canon will do but hoping they'll go that bit further and use their latest sensor technology rather rehashing existing sensors
However if they just fit the 90D sensor in an R6 body it'll certainly be a great camera anyway and I'll buy one for sure

This has been answered before, but I don't think you got it. The cameras you were comparing (Sony and Canon) used a different sensor architecture, where Canon was lagging behind. With the 5D IV and all of their other cameras since (with the exception of the 6D II and the RD) they switched to on-sensor ADC technology. As soon as they switched to the new architecture, they essentially caught up. So, yes, it was fast and has continued to today.

Even so, to say that the 5DS/r has "no sensor performance" is a pretty asinine statement, unless of course English is not the poster's first language, and what he/she meant to say was "no sensor performance for me as I habitually and unnecessarily underexpose by at least two stops every time".

This is why I got the R6 over the R5. I intend to pair it with one of these. Should be an awesome combo. I have a c70 for filming anyway.

I want a 100MP sensor for a variety of reasons. Foremost, even though my default output for most images is down in the 8-12MP range, 100MP capture gives me more breathing room to shoot a little wider and crop in post without taking much of a total resolution hit. Secondly, 8-12MP output Looks better when capturing a 18MP, better at 24MP, better at 30MP, even better still at the 45MP of the R5. I have no doubts that 100MP will look even better still. What that upper limit is, who knows, all I know is when I normalize my output to -8x12 inches at 300PPI, capturing at ever higher resolutions looks better In terms of fine image detail, micro contrast, overall sharpness, and tonal gradiations. And lastly, I just want it.

That would be nice, but at the same time, they do have the very real problem of trying to make money in an ever smaller market, and if the R7 is meant as a 7D and 7DII replacement just the 90D sensor in an R6 body is a pretty significant upgrade for those users, even if it isn’t the latest and greatest. We tend to forget that a lot of photogs buy a system and shoot with it for a long time. Not everybody buys a new camera every couple of years. I know guys who are still shooting with the 5DII.

Producing the same signal doesn't mean the sum of the two is useless, you can get different values depending on that sum of equal values. You can do all kinds of clever maths to infer better detail and color by summing different parts of different 'pixels' when they are using multiple diodes.

It very much depends on the original file and the type of detail within it. I am getting some files with much better detail than Preserve Details 2.0, others not so much. I have already posted example images in a dedicated thread.
Personally I am finding it a real bonus and it saves me going outside PS for other up sizing options.

Yep , I'm shooting with my 7D ii and I won't replace it until I can find a camera that gives a very significant upgrade at a price I can afford and the 90D sensor in an R6 (at hopefully a bit lower price than the R6) would be attractive enough for me and many other 7D ii owners , but if Canon makes it a bit more advanced at a bit higher price I'd probably spend the extra money too

There is an article explaining the differences between EF and RF lens: https://petapixel.com/2019/06/17/canon-this-is-why-rf-lenses-are-outstanding/
Canon took down the video now I am not sure why.
Back in 5DS era, their strategy was to launch two almost identical cameras, one with and one without AA. If you shoot landscape most of time you won't care about about aliasing and likely you don't might slightly lower AF. For sports and indoor aliasing becomes annoying and people usually care AF speed A LOT.
For me a good landscape camera shouldn't have AA filter on the sensor. But that is just me

With lens I.S. and IBIS, I don't think good results handheld will be a problem

People get good results with the 90D and M6 mark II. I'll admit that I continue to use focal length x 1.6 on the 5Ds, held over from my crop days. That seems to work fine. A 100mp sensor might need 2x focal length, but then subtract IBIS / IS back out.

More MPIX does not add to the amount of blur as it is a pure optical function. When Nikon released the D800 36 MPIX camera in 2012 reviewers ran amok at the risk of "motion blur" when hand holding - because for the first time they could see it. Here, years later, pro reviewers understand that the number of MPIX does not matter and most reviews have stopped perpetuating this error. But myths live strong on the internet.
Here some of the myth building from DPR: "Back to resolution though. Can the D800 make good on its pixel count and provide a level of fine detail that trumps its DSLR rivals? It can. We emphasize the word can, because if you're truly after 36MP performance, be prepared to do some work. Flawless technique and top-shelf equipment (particularly lenses and a tripod) along with a low ISO are requirements not options. We've spent an inordinate amount of time in the preparation of this review getting things just so in order to reap what we feel the D800 is capable of producing."
Fortunately no such blah, blah, blah when reviewing the much higher MPIX R5. Now they write: "The Canon EOS R5 is well-suited for just about any type of photographer, whether you shoot portraits, events, weddings, sports, family gatherings, and more." And it is. Just like the 100 MPIX R will be.

They are very good resources and I do like Keith's reviews and articles as he looks at things from a practical photographer's point of view.Which of course sends us directly to Kieth who has, of course, already investigated the concept and published it ages ago

To be honest I think that if everyone's main interest was to print pictures we wouldn't see the same drive for higher and higher mp, but of course generally the complete reverse is true and people are getting larger and larger monitors, with higher and higher resolution screens and want to view their images at full size, and good for them if that is what they enjoy. In fact the old adage about not seeing the wood (forest) for the trees is applicable although now you could say 'not see the wood for the bark on the trees' !
I read people who defend the need for higher and higher mp saying 'why wasn't 8mp enough' and then 10, 12mp etc, 'why did we need 20' and so on. Well there is a perfectly reasonable answer to this; given the physical size that we humans are, and our average vision, 8mp is only enough to print very small at a high dpi, and the limit of the resolution means that if you interpolate up to a greater sized output, although the image may be perfectly 'sharp' detail is lacking. 20mp on the other hand is itself very high resolution, has a native output size of a good medium sized print, say A3 super, and has the resolution (assuming a good file) to be interpolated up much larger, to what we would consider to be a big print and still have a high dpi. So as you go beyond 20mp in FF it is diminishing returns IMO. Certainly this is what I have found in using the 5DS for a few years.
All I can say is that after four years of using 50mp cameras my next one will definitely be a lower mp, somewhere between 20 and 30. Then at least as I upgrade by computer systems I can benefit from faster processing whereas at the moment as I upgrade computers to faster machines I also end up lifting the size of the files and so from a processing speed point of view stand still.
I've been shooting digital since 2005 when the original 5D came out, and there isn't one of my 12mp pictures that I've now thought 'what a pity I didn't take that on a 5DS', at least from a resolution point of view.

So are you printing or is this for online? 8x12 would seem to indicate you are printing. Using the term PPI would seem to indicate you are using online in which case 150 would be more than suffice. If print, then the R5 would has more the twice the pixels needed to print an 8x12 at 300dpi. Would seem anything beyond that just get a good telephoto lens and take a good shot to start and avoid having to crop in. I personally would rather have another lens to go with the R5 than spend funds on a new body but if money is no object than I say have at it.
