I severely doubt it, Canon aren’t exactly renowned for their dynamic range…

Just want to know will it match the high dynamic range of a medium format.

I love it when Nikon and Canon keep pushing the envelop – I don’t feel the need to buy everything but eventually I know it’ll make its way down and we all win. But who am I kidding, I end up buying all the new stuff anyways – its part of why I love shooting!!!

If this has 7+ frames per second, I think a lot of pros will squeal like little girls… With that kind of resolution, you could shoot an entire football game from the sidelines with an 85mm lens and crop into the players’ eyes in post…

It seems people that are wary of the price forget that the idsIII was very close to this price over 3 years ago. I don’t this camera is for ‘most consumers’ I think this is for the people who have canon glass and don’t want to buy medium format equipment, people who DO shoot for billboards, pro magazine model shoots. If canon comes out with something that rivals a hasselblad for under $10 it will be a game changer. Because that sensor tech will trickle down into the 5d(4) range in a few years. It terms of where to put the money, I think canon is doing it right this way. Can you imagine the IQ using this sensor but with 30MP 5d4?

I remember when I was set to purchase my first big DSLR. I chose the D2X over the 1D MkII for 3000 reasons. I am not interested in spending that much money on a camera that will be out of date in 3 years.

Unless it’s mirror-less, it’s not gonna set the stage for much.

I think it’s a bit of a shocking price since the industry focus of late seems to be “great resolution at a great price” (D800 36MP at less than half price of D3x, D600/6D full frame cameras at $2100). So for Canon to have a $9k camera.. it really would have to be something special. But I think for the higher-end photographers there would be a demand, if they get it right. What do people want that we don’t have though?
