Well... No more talk about a MP war. Canon just destroyed that war and put themselves on top.

So the 5D gets a 50MP sensor.... They'll stick the 120MP in a 1D and call it the 1DXs and also have a 1DXsR model.

Somehow they feel that MP will still win the sales.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there is nothing close that can touch this on a 35mm sensor correct? What is the previous best? The 5DS? and then the 36mp sony?

Canon also has a 250megapix APS-H CMOS sensor as well and Darpa has created a 1.8 gigapixel sensor. There are a couple of other ones out there. Making them is pretty easy it seems. Making them practically a different story. But if you look at the Canon 250 mp sensor, each photo site is about the same size of a mobile phone sensor so it really is taking mobile camera technology and placing it on a larger sensor.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

250mp on an APS-H sized sensor? Completely useless. Go ahead and stuff 400mp in it. Medium format sensors and Red's amazing Dragon sensor will still produce photo and video that blows this out of the water with far less pixels. I doubt it even beats images off some FF sensors. I thought Canon was smarter than this. They need to be working on something that matters, like FF mirrorless cameras.

Heh heh,

I can't wait to see the initial 120MP shots of sink faucets, cats and random junk around people's houses.

;)

Very best,

This is for security applications and other areas and not aimed for photography.

Very best,

I need to see a 120MP shot of a duck before I can decide if I would want it.

I think diminishing returns start to really play a hand in this. Besides a.) what is the noise level on this especially on higher-iso levels? b.) the resolving capabilities of the lens will have a lot of say in this.

I can't imagine a need for such a sensor in a camera. It will really be a difficult technical camera to use.

I don't need to take a photo and be able to zoom into 100% and see these:
