Canon 50MP sensor
Canon have a new 50MP prototype sensor that's said to be twice as sensitive as nearest competitors. At 19mmX28mm, it's almost the same size as the 1D MkIII sensor, giving it a 1.3 crop compared to full frame. With the image size set to be 8000X6000 pixels (although this figure looks odd with a 3X2 crop camera), it certainly makes for an interesting look at the future of high end cameras.

If they can get that sort of resolution from a smaller sensor than a 35mm frame, imagine what pixel count there will be when they do go to the larger sizes. However, we are all after greater resolution but the trade off is file size. I teach photography in Spain, see www.photospain.org, and dealing with massive file sizes would be a bit of a challenge. While I would buy the camera for the sake of quality I could not recommend it to the average user who tends to think bigger is better.
