Canon 90D Released!

[weepete]

Canon has released the 90D, a whopping 32.5 megapixel 10fps monster with ISO up to 25,600 and 45 cross type AF points. The specs look good, now just to break it gently to the Mrs that I want to buy one

I must have one!

It looks like the dual pixel auto focus works in 4k video as well.... At least, nothing says it doesn't....

Looks good but any idea of price.....?

£1,200/$1,200 for body only

Wow! Definitely interested. May have to sell a kidney. Lol.

Let's see what the reviews are like. There's always bugs or issues.

I looked at the detailed specifications sheet from Canon UK, and the camera looks very capable. With so many megapixels I was glad to see several different image ratios were possible in raw mode or jpeg. besides the standard 3 to 2 ratio, the Camera offers 4 :3, 16:9, and 1:1.

With a 32MP sensor, that is really going to push the limits of the APS-C lenses to where they have to get the IQ up to what a L series lens would do. Or what good is more MP when the lens won't resolve at that level.

No worries. We will all be in RF mount glass in the next couple of years anyway. From everything I am seeing and hearing about RF glass it is better than the EF mount glass that we all have come to love.

 

[Derrel]

I agree, the RF Canon mount and the Nikon mirrorless lenses have been extremely good performers, better than their standard reflex system lenses. The new Nikon Z series 50 mm for example is exceptionally good at F1.8, or wide-open.

 

[Derrel]

I do not have any worries about the L-series lenses and the prime lenses that Canon has released within the past few years being good enough.

I think that Canon has done some testing and that the people who buy this camera will have adequate lenses for it, although I think that the lowest-end lenses such as the early 18 to 55 non-IS kit lens ( The one that was so bad it was only sold in North America and in certain select European markets but nowhere in the orient )Will not do well on this camera sensor. I owned a copy of that 18 to 55 non-IS and it was a very poor performer. However that lens is now somewhat close to 15 years out of date, and it is unlikely that there are that many people still using them .

I also expect Canon to redesign any underperforming models that they currently have. as megapixel counts have gone up and up over the years, the major manufacturers have re-designed certain lenses on an as-needed basis, And I expect this to continue.

 

[Dacaur]

Also consider the same thing is said every time megapixel count goes up...

Interesting that the model in the promo is wearing camouflage fatigues. To me that is a subtle way of expressing it's water sealing. A key benefit for me

I have often wondered about the benefit of shooting in a different aspect ratio versuses cropping in post.

Depending on the camera, cropping can change the firing rate (5.0 vs 8.2 fps) in Nikon D2x...

file size, buffer issues,etc..

HAHA my camera body is only 10.1 megapixels, now i feel like im living in the stone age!

 

[Derrel]

I went from 2.7 megapixels, to 6 megapixels, then to 8.2 megapixels, then to 12.2 megapixels, all on APS-C.

My first full frame camera was the 12.8 megapixel Canon 5D, commonly called the 5D classic. I used that for several years, then in 2012 I bought myself a used Nikon D3X, which was a 24 megapixel full frame.

I was extremely happy with the image quality from a 24 megapixel full frame, but two years ago I bought a Nikon D610, which used a second-generation 24 million pixel full frame sensor. The image quality even at elevated ISO
levels was very good, and about a year later I bought myself a used Nikon D800. I was extremely astounded at the difference between 24 megapixels and 36 megapixels. The noise level between the two sensors was extremely close, and I think that the 36 million pixel full frame sensor is every bit as good as medium format film used to be in the 1980s. 36 million pixels offered me an incredible ability to crop images at the computer, with almost no visible loss of quality. Compared to 18 years ago with a 2.7 million pixel digital image, the degree of crop-ability is simply staggering. Compared to 12.2 million pixels 36 million pixels offered me an incredible degree of freedom to crop.

I think that 32.5 megapixels will really be a huge step upward to people who are used to 16 and 18 and 22 megapixels or less.
