After completely contradictory Rumors, the officially Announcement by Canon follows swiftly. 
No, his rumor was a 73 MP SUPER SENSOR that can do amazing things.Can't reveal the source, but his initials are H.F. and he lives in Canada and just bought a helicopter.
Don't sweat the details. He predicted a sensor, so that's close enough to claim YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!No, his rumor was a 73 MP SUPER SENSOR that can do amazing things.
Or new firmware/software/other hardware pieces in a 1DX Mark II with the 1D X Mark II sensor.I'd call BS on that one, if the person is in the know I'd say it is a prototype with the old sensor in the new body.
1DXIII: 2mp.1DX: 18mp.
1DXII: 20mp.
1DXIII: 22mp.
What if everyone's wrong, and Canon are keeping the last laugh for themselves?![]()
At 28MP it is a no-brainer for me. Just show me where to sign. But 20MP? Huh? Gotta think about that. At 24 MP, then it is looking good, but we gotta see what the detailed specs are.On another note, if they turned up with a 28MP sensor, they would have seen a truck load of 5D shooters converted into 1D shooters, me inclusive.![]()
But the new 5DV is romured to have something in the range of 45MP, So sensor-wise, the "gap" remains.On another note, if they turned up with a 28MP sensor, they would have seen a truck load of 5D shooters converted into 1D shooters, me inclusive.![]()
I am honestly not interested in a 40+ MP goodness.But the new 5DV is romured to have something in the range of 45MP, So sensor-wise, the "gap" remains.
And as a point of reference, the 5DIII introduced 22.3MP 8 years ago. We'll see what happens with the 1DxIII. But I am expecting that Fujifilm will refresh the GFX50s such that it has the video capabilities of the X-T3. At that point, I will forget about the IDxIII.But the new 5DV is romured to have something in the range of 45MP, So sensor-wise, the "gap" remains.
My concern is more about FPS and focus tracking than the sensor size. Most 1D users are not unterested in HUGE MP sensor for they are not producing glamour photography but more "action" which is nature, news, sports where low noise in high ISO, large FPS and fast recording is much mroe important than MP. Therefore I don't think that 5D users will switch to 1D just because the 1D will have 28MP sensor which is very close to the 30MP of teh current 5D.And as a point of reference, the 5DIII introduced 22.3MP 8 years ago.

You can't test with old sensor though. The old sensor does not have the same capabilities as the new one will. It lacks the improved dual pixel architecture, the focusing points etc etc. It isn't just a matter of resolution is it?They may test with old sensor too ,if cant be 100% sure if new is reliable enough for olympics.
Cant postpone 1dx3 like RS
