New 5Ds and 5Ds R

[astroNikon]

50Mp???? 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.

At least Braineck will be able to zoom into the ultra fine details of his cat's hairs
whilst his hard drive starts smoking

Can we start complaining how 50mp isn't enough ?

I have 4 HDDs; I can handle it.

With 50mp a lot of noise issues go away anyways because you can pixel bin in post down to some sensible size.

If I make the building out of cinder blocks with spray foam insulation, will that be fireproof enough and what is the best temperature do I need this building to me at?

Can I build my own cloud???

Here are few serious question
1.The lenses we have currently will not be sharp enough for 50MP sensor so is such a high MP sensor really useful ?
2.Will Canon come out with lenses that will be effecting for 50MP ?
3.How much will they cost ?
4.The 5D III was never a camera that specialized in one specific thing, it was just a very good general use all around camera so what will Canon come out with to answer this very important market need ?

I always thought the D800/D810 were impressive cameras but not directed at me because its just too much resolution. This just raises the bar even more, for sure its not for people like me...........but it is very interesting and I cant wait to hear more and obviously read reviews on it!!!

You don't have to take the full file size in raw with Canon.

No, but why wouldn't you?

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

Even as cheap as it is, it's going to add up at that rate, and unless you have a top-end computer just crunching those files is going to be a long process.

Don't be so negative. It won't take that much pc power or storage space.

They wouldn't be daft enough to make the camera if their lenses wouldn't handle it

Think about this for a second, how small are the pixels of a FF 50mp sensor when compared to the current generation of 20-24mp APS-C cameras? No on is going on about how the lenses can't handle these APS-C sensors.

Good point, the truth is and this is a shot equal to Nikon and Canon

These High MP sensors are for most users a tap to their ego's, its a feature that sells.
Yes some will really make good of such sensors but most will not really need it.
Heck I bet even my 24MP sensor is an over kill for me (even though I tell myself that its not LOL).

That's why they are having a 5D mkiv that is an all rounder

Oh, thats a piece of info I was not aware of, ok then let those who need or want such a high MP sensor buy it.

 

[gsgary]

Looks like they are copying Sony

You're right.
It is over kill for you. You should then box it up and ship it to me as a free gift .
Problem Solved !!

Yeah, the Magic Lenses Required thing seems to have been invented by Nikon to push expensive lenses.

After the arithmetic smoke clears, the new Canon sensor looks like resolving something like 90 lp/mm, by itself, discounting the rest of the optical system. This is on par with modestly good film from the 90s, and any non-crappy lens is capable of delivering this kind of resolution (again, under ideal circumstances, which means "not your circumstances")

In real terms, a 50mp sensor (and for that matter a 36mp sensor) DOES pretty much take the sensor out of the equation. While all components contribute to softness, the sensor will be a minor player in all but the most heroic testing circumstances.

50mp probably IS useful for pixel binning, which generally makes things better.

 

[goodguy]

In any ways Canon has upped the ante here and I am sure we will see an answer by Nikon sooner or later in a form of 60MP or 70MP which will just make this even more ridiculous
Soon after you will see a Sony A7RR with this ridiculous sensor too.
