It looks like the rumors were spot on. A sneak peek of the not-yet-announced Canon 5Ds full frame DSLR camera has leaked onto the Web. The photograph above shows what the high-resolution 50.6MP camera will look like.

The leaked image and specs were first published by Japanese camera site digicam-info, which also confirms that there will be a separate 5Ds R version of the camera that comes without a low-pass filter for greater sharpness at the expense of more moire.

One feature in the camera is reportedly 1.3x and 1.6x crop modes that allow you to only use a portion of the full frame sensor for lower-resolution photographs — useful for if you don’t need a 50.6MP file with every shot.

ISO range is reportedly 100 to 6400. Canon Rumors is hearing that the lower maximum ISO is due to the camera having “a much stronger CFA [color filter array] which will produce much greater color accuracy than anything currently in the Canon lineup.”

Other specs mentioned in the report are: a weatherproof magnesium alloy body, dual processor DIGIC6, 5FPS continuous shooting, 61 autofocus points, EOS iTR AF, a 150,000 pixel RGB/IR photometry sensor, and a “fine detail” picture style.

We should see the official announcement for these cameras sometime next week. Stay tuned.

50 mp images… better hope your PC can keep up!

Great. Does Canon have any lenses that can resolve anywhere near 50 MP?

Maybe this is why they can drop the low-pass filter. The lens now takes over this role.
 
Iso pretty pathetic for a modern full frame camera

Im sure they can - besides the obvious aberration in low quality lenses - most lenses can far exceed heir megapixel counterparts.

I don't know about that. Maybe in the center, but lenses generally soften out a bit towards the edges and corners. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Nikon lenses from the 50's provide sharp (and sharp-soft) images on today's camera's. I know that 35mm was a benchmark back then, which is comparable to today, but I still believe even simple glass is far superior to even the best camera sensors.
 
I'm not so sure about that. I'm Googling now, and it isn't easy to find much info but what I AM finding is that the P-MP (perceived megapixel) count is often a fair bit lower than the resolution of the sensor. As an example, the Nikkor AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G on the D800 (a 36 MP camera), the P-MP value is all the way down at 17 MP.

How so?

ISO isn't everything.

For photographing events and weddings especially in the evening, sometimes flashes are a no no, with the ISO of a crop sensor that's going to be difficult

What does that mean? :confused: IIRC the ISO of the 7Dmk2 goes up to 51200 but lets not even go there because this probably isn't the sort of body you'd want to use for events like that anyway.

Anyway - there's plenty you can do with ISO 6400.

We already have to work with 16mb images, this is just going to be a monster.

We're going to end up with out of the camera JPGs that are bigger than todays raw files! :)
