Roughly Speaking: Do you want 20 MP or 40 MP in the new 5D?

Feb 12, 2012

I am a bit surprised that people continue to want more MP. I loved the announcement of the 1DX, seemed perfect. I wont go with the larger 1 series, but I would love the equivalent of that sensor with Nikon perks (AF and weathersealing) in a Canon body. However, seems that some have compared the D800 with it's high MP count to MF cameras...

What are you guys hoping for? High MP (36 or above) or lower (24 or below). Personally, 16-24 would work perfectly for me, with focus on DR, ISO, weatherproofing, and AF....
