New Canon 3D - how much and who would

[MARKOE PHOTOE]

Just for the sake of going broke, how much do you anticipate a 40MP 3D camera body will retail for? And would you buy one?

My guess: $5,999 and 'YES!'

At least $5k...and no. The D800 at $3k most likely will be a much better value / performance ratio. $6k as you suggest would not surprise me.

My 5D3's resolution is plenty for me, so no, I have zero interest in a mega megapixel body that costs an arm and a leg

Who says if there was one it would be 40MP, it could be 27MP with 1080p @ 60 fps aimed at videographers. If so, then would be priced midway between 5D3 and 1DX, about $5,200 ( [3600 + 6800] / 2)

I may be interest in this 3d if the price is around $5000 vs my 5d3 since it:

MAYBE: intergrated flash transmitter (very big deal)
more mp.. ** i can choose medium mraw if i need it small.
better build/ weather resistance
longer shutter life cycle
longer battery cycle
5d3 cost $350 for grip and it still not same as 1d ser body.

damm.. the more i listed it. the more i want it

+1

I realised how insignificant resolution was to me when I moved from a 10MP 40D to the 22MP 5D3, and didn't really notice the change in image size (other than file size).

+2...5D III is perfect for me. I'll skip higher MP

Really?? I do a lot of cropping and printing and I notice a HUGE difference between my 5D Mark III and 1D Mark IV (22 vs 16). Guess it depends on how "far" you need to go.

if it was not a 1D body i would get one for my wife
bulky 1D form is the deal breaker for me

$4500, but only if it has killer video.

...and take a lot longer in post-pro than 22Mp files. With the brilliantly specced LR4 dragging the chain in the performance department, I'd have to put my prices up to properly process a few hundred ultra-size RAW files. Not to mention pressure on current computer hardware and data storage considerations.

Still, a 40+Mp Canon will suit a lot of photographers. And may be worth considering if the price is realistic just for those special projects. In the meantime, I'm consistently stoked with 1D4 & 5D3 files.
