How could Nikon have 36MP?!

So let me understand

You have Canon's lowest price 18 million pixel amateur camera and you are
lusting over Nikon's new D800? and asking why Canon don't have one yet?

Have I got this right?

If Canon did, would you wait for the entry level version of it?

Do u think Nikon will bring out a 550D body quality version of the D800?

If u need max Pixels and you are comparing Apples, why don't u own a 5d Mk2
then we may take your question more seriously
Okay, either you're being incredibly biased because you feel bad for shelving out thousands for whatever camera you did buy.. or you're an idiot.
Where I live there is a saying which would, roughly, translate into
"He who first called a name, he bears it"
Name calling like that is rude and does not lead anywhere.
Yes, the T2i is the most affordable 18MP Crop-Sensor Canon have released.. but to call it "amateur" is about as ignorant as one can get on these forums.
No. It is just matter of fact. With your angry outburst, you are the one who comes of as 'incredibly biased' and 'feel(ing) bad' about you camera choice.
I bought a 7D at first. I had it for.. about 5 months. Realizing it had absolutely NO ADVANTAGE over the T2i in terms of my field of photography (i.e. Gigapixels and time-lapse), I sold it and switched over to the T2i.
And? A Eos 1D mark IV would not have gained you anything either, and you still think the T2i and the 1D Mark IV are both professional cameras?
If I were to regret this move, yes, I would buy the 5D. I did not choose the T2i because it was so-called "cheap". I chose it because it has 99% the photo-quality of the 7D and 90% the photo quality of the 5D and costs 1/2 and 1/4 as much.
Again, you are just showing your own lack of understanding what constitutes a pro grade camera. It is not megapixel count, and actually not image quality at all.
Now, if Canon rolls out a 9D and a 6D, both (let's say) 48MP, and all the 9D has are extra features I don't need, then sure, I will get the 6D and laugh in the face of anyone who thinks I am "amateurish."
Well nobody said that except - interestingly - you. Which suggest you feel rather insecure about your status as a photographer. Since you are so touchy and defensive about it.
You want to make yourself feel like a big man by buying the most expensive thing on the market? Go right ahead, Mr. idiot.
Well, you called out that name the first time, and the second ... ;)

Yes, and your smug point-by-point over-analyzation of my entire post says absolutely nothing about your defensive nature and inferiority complex(es).

If you want to respond to my saying that the T2i is not an amateurish camera with "No. It's fact." then you can shove it where the sun don't shine (that's where the film goes, by the way).
It is not megapixel count, and actually not image quality at all.
No, of course not. It's the magic smoke inside, isn't it :)

Why don't you go and make yourself feel better about your shortcoming somewhere else.. Oh, maybe where they have more of those fantabulously awesome sayings.
 
Canon makes good camera. So does Nikon. And Sony, Pentax, Oly, Panasonic, Samsung ...

Well, to be precise, it does not, 36 is not twice of 21 ;)

When will it rain the next time where I live? I don't know.

Canon will release a higher MP camera when they feel they can earn money from making one. It is as simple as that.
You know what? I was wrong about you.

You are, in fact, incredibly helpful. If I ever need to hire a smug old fart who's excellent at pointing out the obvious, I will not hesitate in giving you a call.

We might argue for a long time who comes of as being most defensive and emotional here, but I honestly don't really think it would lead anywhere :-)

You seem terribly upset over the notion that a a entry level camera is not a pro level camera. Resorting to insults and foul language does not make you sound veru convincing, nor does it change simple facts.

If 'magic smoke' is the only difference you can see between a T2i and a Eos 1D Mark IV ... Well, there is not much point trying to discuss with you.

You mean like "sour grapes"? :-)

Thank you! :-)

Just to translate another of those sayings you seem to appreciate so much:
"As one asks, so one will be answered"

Or, applying it to your questions, if you ask a obvious question, you will get obvious answers. Or, in more general terms: if you behave rude, people will treat you with rudeness.

Have a nice day ;)

Do you really think that acting smug and superior is better than using fowl language?

God, you are oblivious to anything said against you, but have no problem saying the same towards anyone.

I wish I could think as much of myself as you think of yourself.
 
.. everyone else thinks I'm stupid for not getting the 5DM2.
For me it's other reasons.

Not even including coming to a Nikon forum to ask what we know about Canon's future plans.
Well, at least you've rightfully stated your obvious superiority over me.

That's something.
Not sure it had to be stated.

Anyway... if you don't get your answer here about Canon's next move... maybe the Pentax, or Olympus forums can be of more help.

Yes, but don't forget to follow me there to make sure your superiority is not forgotten.
 
Gents....

Could you not calm it down a little!

Its only a bloody view on a camera!!

He said this she said this.

By any chance did you mean "foul" language? Or are we talking about birds?

Seriously, you would be better served posting your question in the Canon forums. Less grief, and more information about Canon products.

Why would I follow you... I know where to ask questions.

So.. are you going to keep trash talking or go searching for an actual speculative guess in the right place ?

(rhetorical of course)
 
For the work he is doing he wants maximum resolution and minimum features.

Fancy AF and functions are pointless.

A cheap Canon body with the same sensor tech as a more expensive body is perfectly logical.

Even if and when Canon launch a camera with 48mp or more, a used 5D2 would make a perfect next step upgrade.

Or, even better and if he wants to spend the money, a D800E with its lack of an AA filter would produce amazing resolution to rival a medium format camera.

We seem to be going through a phase where suddenly a whole new generation of camera models are being launched after several years of inactivity. It is good for all of us !
Wow, I don't want to insult anyone here, but..

One amazing post in the midst of almost completely unheplful ones..

Yes, that is EXACTLY what I want and need - a camera with little features and a high MP count/resolution!

You're the only one who understands this.. everyone else thinks I'm stupid for not getting the 5DM2.

And yeah... totally.. the reason I'm shocked is because there is suddenly something new and interesting (and how so!) after literally 3 years of no or minuscule upgrades - like the T3i being the same as T2i (what was that?!)

I also agree about getting a used 5DM2, but only because I have 5,000$+ in Canon lenses.. otherwise the Sony 24MP cameras are a better buy.

So, topstuff, do you see any conclusive rivals to the D800 in the future?
Well, that is a good question !!

I think it is hard to argue that a used 5D2 is not the perfect camera for you. In a month or two Canon will have launched its new 5D to market and there will be lots of 5D2's to buy and prices will drop. I think the 5D2 will become a bargain for high IQ at a low price. You could probably pick up 3 low mileage 5D2's for the price of a single D800E pretty soon.

Sure, the 5D2 AF is not great - but you don't care about that. The 5D2 does not have a pro-body with weather sealing or high frames per second, but you don't need that either. For the best bang-for-your-buck when it comes to IQ, there is nothing better.

But make sure you get a good one. I have owned 3 in my photo lifetime - one was returned immediately because it was full of dust and dirt from new, another one died when it got wet and the third was OK. Watch out for banding at certain ISO's as well, especially when there is a large block of single colour in the picture - which I guess would be quite common in your area of interest. But you should find one that works fine.

Right now, unless you want to spend the cash on the D800E I don't see that Nikon has the camera for you. Canon will have a high MP rival to the D800 pretty soon and I expect Sony will also have a full frame high resolution camera coming soon as well.

Have you thought about medium format? That would be even better.

The OP started the 35mm subject...about the D800
If u need max Pixels and you are comparing Apples, why don't u own a 5d Mk2
then we may take your question more seriously
Ehhh Max Lyons shoots with a T2i http://tawbaware.com/maxlyons/ for gigapixel work.He certainly should be taken seriously.The stitching technique benefits from the APS-C sensor utilizing the sweet spot of lenses.

Yes the post probably belongs in the Nikon forums, was just pointing out that by him not using a 5dMkII for gigapixel stitching, he could still be taken seriously.Many successful gigapixel artist use APS-C sensors for reason I already stated.
