Budget for a new computer system as well.

Red Komodo has 6K global shutter already with good dynamic range so definitely seems doable - if they can do it Canon should be able also.Could be a case of the reality is hidden somewhere inside a bunch of specs that are true but need context to provide the full picture. As has been said. A quad pixel sensor of 21/84mp(depending on how those pixels are read) certainly sounds plausible for those of us with limited knowledge of how these things work. If Canon are the first to bring a global shutter to the market however then........whooaahhh!!!!! That will surprise the world.
That makes no sense, maybe it is going to be another terminology rabbit hole but a 21mp sensor is a 21mp sensor. Canon dual ‘pixel’ sensors have two photodiodes per pixel, the R5 has 47 million pixels and 94million photodiodes. It is not a 94mp camera.A 21MP quad-pixel sensor would have 84MP pixels of course which could in theory have a special mode that could record each sub-pixel separately. And it would seem a waste of a quad pixel set up if you didn't have a dual or quad gain set up to improve DR. So whilst there are elements that could be true but it does have the smell of a wild optimist/attention-seeker! Mind you some of R5 rumours sounded pretty wild at the start
I guess there will be people who could use a camera that switched 21/85MP, I can't see 85MP being of particular interest to the majority of the professional market though
Exactly my thoughts. Divide the MP by 4 due to someone not understanding quad pixel and you get the sort of resolution we might expect...That makes no sense, maybe it is going to be another terminology rabbit hole but a 21mp sensor is a 21mp sensor. Canon dual ‘pixel’ sensors have two photodiodes per pixel, the R5 has 47 million pixels and 94million photodiodes. It is not a 94mp camera.
If a sensor had quad pixel AF, which makes a lot of sense for orientation sensitivity, then it would have Y number of pixels and Y x 4 number of photodiodes.
Fact is 50MP at 15fps RAW is all any sports photographer would ever need even for the most extreme sports. Want smaller files then reduce them while shooting. In my opinion anything above 15fps is overkill.
yes, but video DR and stills photography DR are two different things.. they can play a little fast and loose with video. much more problematic with stills.Red Komodo has 6K global shutter already with good dynamic range so definitely seems doable - if they can do it Canon should be able also.
