Canon EOS R3 to have a 30mp sensor? [CR1]

[neuroanatomist]

When we do studio work for Sports and Swimwear Fashion we're shooting at 100mp. And you can clearly see the difference. It is substantial and detailed beyond any 20mp camera.

The earth is round. 1 + 1 = 2. Shall we share a few more completely obvious bits of information?

What makes me laugh is Canon are not, despite many peoples opinions, idiots. Even up until the 1DX III they were pretty sure the pro sports market, which for us is an indeterminate size, was pretty happy with the 20mp sensor.

For all the faux outrage lets not forget the Nikon D6 is 21mp and the Sony A9 II is 24mp. Canon have said quite clearly they made the 1DX III 20mp after speaking with their target market.

I've done plenty of pro studio sports shoots with 20mp. The images have been turned into banners and reproduced at all kinds of sizes with no issue at all. Now I know I am not everybody, and I am not saying because I don't have a need for it nobody should, but I'd like to see the uses for 100mp studio sports images where the increased resolution is actually adding to anything other than the file size and a few behind the scenes peoples egos.

I heard that the number of eyelashes an athlete has is an important predictor of performance. Maybe that's why 100 MP is necessary.

Actually, at that distance with a good lens I bet FF 20mp isn’t far off resolving the eyelashes.

That’s a great shot Private, but in all honesty I prefer Martin Elliott’s
(God rest his soul poor guy).

Thanks.

I've got hundreds of them from a series I did with the same lighting a few years back. Though I'd agree some of the subjects are easier on the eye than others...

Just wondering, how many announcements do we need about the announcement?

At least one more.

Maybe if someone asks if the exif data was manipulated on the protos we can eeek out another 100 posts....

Forgive me for answering the (implied) question with a question.

I was only joking.

The DR. Why isn't anyone talking about DR anymore? What the hell is happening?!

Pay attention. This whole thread and several others have been all about Digital Resolution.

Or maybe you meant something else?

I loved my visit to the DR, especially meeting the people as we drove around and their sharing the mamajuana. Google it, before you jump to conclusions. I shot with an M5 while there btw.

Hairy eyes rule, dude. The 100mp is for the pits... and the Norwegian handball team.
