I guess the S stands for Surreal...

Always wanted a lens with Meso Amorphous Coat...

Contrast is dependent on air/weather conditions etc. The IQ is perfectly fine and as good as any. Especially relative to weight and price.

A Leica with a proper grip is always an improvement.

A very expensive lens cap, indeed...

F-stop ≈ f/0.63 (estimated), haven't seen any figure.

Around $50,000 if you extrapolate the price from a 77mm.

I bet my Z9 has faster AF.

Money can't buy happiness, but at least you can get Great Joy for $1189.

The expression "zoom with your feet and save money" has never felt more relevant.

@sirhawkeye64: Sure, your screaming kids can soon recharge your Tesla.

@Roland: No, but the opposite is by and large suggested in the article, which is even more absurd.

The oceans will all be dead before this camera is usable in any practical applications. How about solving the right problem for once?

It's a bit like, "I put my bluetooth camera cellphone in an orbit around earth! I've only managed to throw it 40 meters yet, but I will get there. And I got some great shots of my shoes doing it."

@vscd: Set studio comparison to "print size" and JPG instead, and see the difference in detail and acutance compared to 5D III. Using DXO or Topaz it would look even better, as the "AI" gets MORE...

@M Lammerse: 12 MP is still more than enough. But to be able to sell the next model Nikon & Canon have to come up with something "new" every time.

Canon and Nikon suffers from "medium format" complex? I find both R3 and Z9 clean enough at ISO6400 and very usable at ISO12800. My feeling is that high ISO-performance is not that much of an issue...

When I saw this I immediately put my Z9 on eBay...

Combined with AI NR more pixels do seem to lead to less noise and more detail. The processing power in-camera is not there yet though.

Excellent that Canon finally take action against the pirates with disputable environmental and work ethics.
