Question regarding Canon's current lens and very high MP camera

[APBPhoto]

The question is "If you were Canon and you believe that the current crop of lens would not provide a very High MP camera with the best camera / lens combination in term of image quality why wouldn't you wait a year or so until your new lens were in full production? "

No, I'd release the the camera when it's available. Offer more and better products than competitor to win in marketplace and then release superior lenses to a large base to make more profit. Repeat.

Canon produces EF-s lenses that mostly are rated lower than L lenses. Canon supplies these lenses with crop cameras with a equivalent of 40+ MP on full frame cameras. So they do think their lenses already are good enough or they must believe crop camera buyers are not critical to lens resolution.
Personally I believe a lot of complaints about image quality relate more to user error, that become visible when a sensor captures more detail, than to really poor lens quality. (I am a pixel peeper and use "old" L lenses and I am satisfied with the result. I see no problem with a 40+ MP camera for me.)

I think most of their lenses could handle a 45MP sensor. Aren't there some medium format cameras that use Canon lenses?

With my 300m f/4, I have taken good pictures using the 1.4x and 2x, which basically just zooms in on the front part of the lens. I've used the 1.4 with the 17mm TS-E and can use the 16-35mm lens hood then, so it is getting 21mp from mainly the center of the lens, not the edges.
