Question for those who are more technically inclined than I am...It would not surprise me at all in canon at some time upped the pixel
What is the likelihood that Canon will eventually mass produce APS-C
(ie 1.6x crop) sensors that can handle 16 megapixels? 22 megapixels?
Or will there come a point where it's no longer realistic to cram so
much on a cropped sensor, and a full-frame camera would be needed to
keep up the megapixel wars?
count to 16mp for a 1.6 crop sensor. There are many who will cry about
the added noise but in theory the noise going from 8 MP to 16 MP would
go up by the ssqrt(2) if you down sized you 16MP image to 8 MP you
would be right back to the same noise level as an 8 MP camera, assume
good low readout noise.
People have repeatedly predicted the end of pixel wars. When the
first 6MP DSLR cameras came out a number of people thought that would
be enough for anyone.
But there are two reasons why some people are going to want more
pixels, some people are going to want to make larger and larger print
and want those print to be as sharp as possible. The other reason is
for some people even more important, going from 8MP to 16MP on the same
size sensor will pretty much eliminate aliasing.
