50 Megapixel Canon in 2015...

What do you guys think?

5D Mk IV
3D
Medium Format?

Who will invest in one? Will it really be so good?
I mean I sometimes even hate my 21MPx camera, when retouching

I am very interested in this if true... But I won't preorder and wait for formal reviews first (and cheaper street prices!)

imagine the file sizes.

Around 8600x5800

Invertalon, for what would one actually use (need) 50 Megapixels?

So...."CR3" is supposed to mean you can take it as fact, eh?

Yes

Why the OP mention of "MF"? This would be a FF 35mm Format from what I just read. Certainly time in the evolution of camera sensors to see this come to market.

50mp would be useful for landscapes, catalog and billboard work depending upon the client. Some Fine Art work would benefit from it. Just how big do you want to display when you get exhibited at a museum? Typical portraiture would be less needing, but technology never stays still.

EOS 2D?

Well, for Landscapes I would see a use, but on the other hand you can print beautiful frints from 21 Megapixel in the Size of 1.5 x 1 meters. So I do believe you do not really print any larger, if so, Hasselblad or Phase One is better

Not 5D Mk IV but 5DX

Plus the D800 Nikon series already exists for really large prints at a cost less than the 5D3. Can you imagine the price of a 50 MP Canon?

I'm in. Just what I wanted. Wow! Looking forward to the announcement.

Hopefully CR3 means that it will be announced sooner rather than later. February maybe?

Very interesting for me too. My 5d2 can't wait to become backup.

even if prints are good at your given sizes, they can use improvement.

sure hasselblad and phase one is better, but who wants to put money down for that? I want 50mp simply because I want to outresolve my glass. With canon, you can shoot MRaw or SRaw if you're concerned about unnecessary file size.

I lost you on this Charlie, why would that be good?
