It looks like the next Canon EOS R Will Have Higher Resolution Than Sony a7R IV according to Canon Watch.
Canon itself has confirmed a new high res. camera this year.
The discussion is that it will be a 75-80 MP (Canon Rumors) camera. Canon says it will be "beyond" the a7R IV.
Looks like Canon is innovating in the sensor area.
This will be interesting to see.

One has to wonder why. More is not always better...

I thought the pixel wars with camera companies were over. Why in the world would a full frame digital camera need 75-80 pixels? Either their innovating their sensors or it's just plain pixel dumping.

Canon made their 51 mp cameras when the Sony standard was 36mp.

Why did Sony make the a7IV with 61 MP, just plain pixel dumping looks like.

At some point, you get to the resolution where the display, print or the human eye is the limiting factor, so the only real advantage is being able to crop greatly, and even with improvements in technology, in general, larger pixels are less noisey. And then there’s the issue with storing and processing huge images. I wonder how much of the “resolution wars” is useful and how much is a marketing...

This size “FF” does allow a crop that is larger than the current 24mp “APS-C” cameras .... I suppose that could be a justification.

"Interesting" ... is a verrrry interesting word.

The greater the mega pixels the better the dynamic resolution at the expense of higher ISO. Basically in the Nikon world the D850 which sports a 46MP sensor has better dynamic resolution than the D750 which sports a 24MP sensor, however the D750 has better high ISO performance than the D850.

The good news is you can dial in amount of raw.

I'm waiting for a pocket-size FF compact with a 100 MP sensor.

That might sound impossible, but just you wait! : )

So the files will be hybrid?

So they do process the so-called 'raw' files?

Pentax openly admits to processing 'raw' for the K-1ii, KP, and K-70 cameras.

When you shrink the RAW file it would need to be massaged.
The full RAW would not be. "Processed".

I'm looking at the edited version of a JPEG file shot with the Fujifilm FinePix F40fd in July 2007, file size 3.65 MB, ISO 200. It compares with my current shots from a Canon 6DII with the Sigma 24-105mm zoom lens mounted on it.

Granted, the shooting conditions did not challenge this Fujifilm camera. Whatever, this camera produced a keeper of a family photograph very appealing to the eye.

Ken Rockwell has argued that a file size of 6 MB suffices for doing photography. My shot supports this view, so far as it goes.
