Wonder if Canon has fixed its dynamic range, given how many MPs those cameras are.

I would assume so, considering the max ISO is 6400.
 
This should be very interesting to see if this is the actual specs.
 
That looks impressive. I wonder what the price tag will be

Damn it Canon, just take my money already.



I'll take one 5DsR please (assuming the DR issues have been addressed, otherwise I'll just pick up a Sony).

serious question: doesn't the native iso range + the pixel density suggest it's not going to be improved?

I don't know enough to answer that.

The website did mention a 5d mkIV that was designed for low light. So maybe this new camera is aimed at just a specific user.

No. Look at the 24mp Sony Exmor APS-C sensors. They have better low iso DR than Canon FF sensors and the pixel density will be about the same as the announced Canon. Assuming the rumors are true and canon will be using Sony Exmor technology. . . . . . . . . . .

okay; possibly. This is going to make a nice studio camera for sure.

I would imagine this is aimed at the studio/landscape folks.
 
50Mp???? :o Good grief; the files from my D800 at 36Mp are usually WAY more than I need and a LOT to handle computer-wise, You're going to chew up hard drive space like there's no tomorrow.

It's all about how you shoot. A still life studio shoot for me might only consist of about a dozen images being kept, and only one being processed in the end. In the same amount of time an event shooter might take a few hundred photographs. ;)

On my last vacation I averaged less than 150 images a day. :blush: Bear in mind too that Canon has options for sRaw and mRaw. You don't have to take the full file size in raw with Canon. ;)

Storage is crazy cheap. File size is a non-issue.
