Canon 5Ds leaked . 50.6 MP
http://petapixel.com/2015/01/30/canon-5 … rame-dslr/ Now the question is, how may people will pay $25,000 more for practically the same thing from Phase One or Hasselblad? Jan 30 15 10:44 am Link I'd need a new computer just process the files. Jan 30 15 11:11 am Link Moving Pictures " Now the question is, how may people will pay $25,000 more for practically the same thing from Phase One or Hasselblad " If Canon (and Nikon) ever up their glass -Hasselblad and Phase One will become $13,000.- camera bodies. If they don't price accordingly, then they will have to close shop. Jan 30 15 11:26 am Link I honestly don't know how this would affect MF sales. The D810/D800e is close to being MF yet many professionals still use Hassys. It's a completely different format and it's not only about megapixels. On the other hand, I bet many use MF for things other than purely objective differences such as brand name, prestige, etc... I am very happy with my $1200 D800  Jan 30 15 08:11 pm Link moving pictures wrote: Same set of people who will shell out for Full Frame rather than APS-C even though it's practically the same thing..... same same for the guys who will pay for APS-C when 1" sensors are practically the same.

Jan 30 15 11:56 pm Link I think the medium format market will be hit by high resolution 35mm cameras, but by how much is hard to say. They are different animals. If all you want is more MP, or you don't have the money, the high resolution 35mm might suit you. However, for the ultimate in quality and also the lenses and also the DOF etc... MF will still rule. At a price. Jan 31 15 02:24 am Link Barry Kidd Photography wrote: You'll probably need a new computer just to cope with the press release, if they include images... Jan 31 15 02:44 am Link Phil Drinkwater wrote: For the Dof exist lenses brighter for full-frame lens respect what present on digital MF and if we consider only the smaller MF digital sensor, as for example the new Sony 50 megapixel Cmos, the issue could be easy fixed putting a brighter lens on a 35mm. Jan 31 15 03:50 am Link I just got a D810... Looks like I'm going to have to get one of these at some point along with a new computer system. More MP does matter when you are printing very large. Jan 31 15 05:18 am Link SWEET  I cannot wait until they release more stuff! That means I get to buy older gear much cheaper. Jan 31 15 05:32 am Link edit: dont get drawn into religious wars. Jan 31 15 05:33 am Link I have 41MP, RAW shooting, cell-phone. Once the SLR Pixel War reached double digits the race didn't really matter any more... Bring on the auto-focus war! Jan 31 15 06:42 am Link High MP FF cameras vs MF Digitals render the same differences noticeable in printed images as APS-C 35mm vs "Full Frame 35mm. Or, crop-sensor Small Format vs 35mm equivalent Small Format. Because of the smaller sensor size therefore smaller photosites, the images made by the camera with the smaller sensor with have a more "plastic-ey" look to them. Slightly more contrast, appearing to have rougher transitions of colours & lighting, etc. If your style is contrasty or if all you shoot is jpegs, a higher MP FF camera is a sweet deal indeed! But it's not a MF camera on a budget. It's just a 35mm digital with a heap of megashnitzels jammed into a Small Format CMOS sensor. One of my cameras is a Nikon D800E, btw.

Feb 01 15 04:32 am Link Is Canon using the Sony sensor? If not, no thanks. Not interested in a 10+ years old technology that has banding/shadow noise issue with DR that are still behind competitor.

Still there is no price as of yet, nor any real world tests so its all just speculation.

A cellphone for instant online images is all Joe Consumer needs if print media continues to decline. Why lug around 15 pounds of DSLR gear that costs 30 times as much for what they need for web images, along with all the cheap (free) editing apps coming out for their $700 cellphone.

That's a deal-breaker for me 
It focuses reasonably fast I find, in spite of what people are saying online. The colours are neutral compared to most FF DSLR cameras that are higher MP, but in an incredibly good way. The viewfinder is so small though, my eyelashes bend back into my eye and when they aren't poking me into my eyeball they bend over my eye and make me feel as though I'm looking through a jailed wall of black bars 
I've inquired about a larger viewfinder I could purchase as a replacement, but the dealer shuffled-feet and began talking about focus & colour rendition again.
