Canon loves 24mp…where’s the new FF32mp?….R6 mk3!

Pics of large groups can use 100MP. Even if you have a large print, people will come up to it to see the facial expressions of each person. My wedding pic group shot was shot on 10MP camera and up close it looks like crap.

I am sure that is true, but « group shots » are « group shots ». A picture of one or two, or even three or four, people is something else. Just because you could crop down to individual faces if you have 100MP that doesn’t mean all « general purpose cameras » should be able to take 100MP « group shots ».

In thinking about it, I remember in 2015, I was in a « group shot » of 75 people at the end of a big software project, but for having taken one myself, during the last 21 years … no, I haven’t done any « group shots ». Zero times.

For a professional that does that sort of work, maybe a Medium Format camera. If they really think the customer would be ready to pay for a 100MP image.

Fair point.

I just don't see much penalty behind having a 80-100MP full frame in the future. The cost of a chip is primarily due to its physical size (determines how many fit on a silicon wafer).

I don't expect a high MP body cost much more. I have the R5 and it is incredible but once a high megapixel body comes out, I will probably buy that. I think 100MP body could have a great 2x2 bin mode to give us 25Mpix for general photography.

I also have Fuji 50R for fun experiments, but buying a whole another system is a pain.

I think ultimately two line of cameras are enough:

High Megapixel (those are for me)

High speed (I have pretty much no use for fps over 8, but I understand many do)
