I´m still looking to get APS-C resolution beast. At least 32Mpx for 8k stills, but more would be interesting. I think we don´t get either significantly more pixels or larger sensor. It´s Canon, after all...

The problem with the current APS-C 24Mpx sensor generation is that diffraction is now around f/7.1 so the ideal way up would be to maintain current density but expand the sensor a bit, as described above.

I cannot agree, as the diffraction is not the hard limit solving all issues. If you still can see moire at f/7.1, and if you still need to process images in a way it could hurt the resolution (rotation and some more), you definitely can use higher pixel density. Also, I usually shoot in the f/1.4 to f/5.6 range on my crop camera. So, pixel density is not a limiting factor here at all. Look at Old nokia 1"ish sensor at 42Mpx. If it was at APS-C size, it would totally kill any 32Mpx sensor in real output resolution. it kills many FF sensors now....

Well, more pixels comes with a price in storage, speed and compromises for video, the current 24Mpix is good enough for me, sensor size is what would make a more noticeable improvement in image quality and lens versatility by using different aspect ratios, totally doable with the current technology by just increasing the sensor size. More pixels are great for zoom/crop, but unfortunately none of the Canon ILC bodies, none, exploit this capability.

Such body would make a better justification to buy and use EF lenses because you are gaining something. Higher Image Quality.

I would appreciate both. Greater pixel density and APS-H sensor. They could already slap the 120Mpx one they have there... Done

But agree, more than likely Canon will, once again disappoint.

I would bet they do...
