Yes, that's beautiful though, but you may consider abut the scale of numbers; for each R6 or R5 sold, you sell 20 of R50/R100, 50 playstation/xbox, 200 cars and 500 computers, so there's sense, and manufacturing and marketing capabilities, of differentiate the various steps, accessories and models.
8 models for 2 (pro-level) cameras is frankly laughable.
Nope, the difference between 18-24MP would not be significant. My list was supposed to show possible sensor types and should not be a proposal to sell all of them.Maybe because they are trying lots of things and in a limited market they can't offer that many options? For example, all the R bodies have slightly different layouts/ergonomics, they seem not to have settled on one "best" yet. Alternatively they may think your way would be too confusing for potential customers.
Even if it were true that lower res = better low light (which seems not to be the case for each given generation of sensor, and was never the case on an image level), do you really think the difference between 18MP and 24MP would be significant?
True and pointed out quite well, eight different models would be too much. I should have worded it differently and mention that two options would be nice and these are ideas I could think of (the eight I listed)This idea would:
The result would be a significant cost increase and thus more significant more expensive cameras
- Require Canon to manufacture 8 different sensors for the list of mp’s that you mention
- Changes in sensor (resolution) probably impact camera firmware as well
- Complicate manufacturing of 8 slightly different types of camera’s
- Impact the complete distribution chain from factory to individual retailers
- Lower sales volumes for each individual model
- Complicate the sales and marketing messages
I do believe a R5s (whatever the MP will be) could use exactly the same ergonomics as the R5.
