R6 mk3 = 32?

R5 mk2 = 54?

R1 = 60?

Megapixels mysticism…

Just a very small percentage of photographs are printed. For a big ( A2 ) print 20mp is enough and when almost all images are viewed on max 5K PC screens a 10 mp sensor is enough in real life.

There are other reasons why some people may want higher resolution pictures such as cropping. We sometimes crop different parts of an image and process those. I don't think a common use case but I'd think the long focal length crowd would like higher density sensors.

I don't know how much the higher resolution full frames impact on business from the medium format market but I'd think a link.

Of course it feels psychologically better to have more 😇😉

Canon does not understand that amateur photographers do not understand this basic thing

I started SLR film photography in 1968. Now two systems: Fujifilm X-H1 + X-E3 and Canon FF gear 5dMkIV + R6
