My only interest is if my dad gets one, then I can pinch his 5D2 and use some canon lenses for stuff every now and again. 50 megapixels on a sensor that small is too damn high!
50MP on a full frame camera is a little silly. Thankfully the 5DS is not the successor to the 5DMKIII
Would be nice to see the MKIV stay in a sensible MP range but with meaningful improvements in every other area. I'm hoping Canon can live up to my expectations for the MKIII successor. If not then I'll start looking at changing systems.
Technically, it's the same pixel pitch as the 70D and 7D2.![]()
Are you sure? Almost everything I've read thus far indicates that this may be the mkIV. There was rumor of them going higher resolution to get the camera 4k ready. I'm not quite certain the logic behind that since my camera has only 16mp and shoots quality 4k.
I'd personally be scared of how huge those files probably are. I'd be curious to know if they got the mp count that high and retained DR and high ISO performance. I doubt it personally and those things are far more useful for a videographer than higher resolution.
