Simon I was one of those that bought the EOS 5DS and back then everyone was saying what your saying about a 100MP camera. That camera turned out to be one of the best Canon cameras I’ve ever owned which I replaced with the R5. The R5 never had as good a colour profile as the 5DS and I often regret selling it.
The EOS 5DS / 5DSr were favourites with pro studio shooters doing fashion and food and this is where I think the 100MP would be aimed at. You don’t need fancy video specs, you don’t need high frame rates but you do need good AF and now there to no mirror the camera is less likely to suffer from vibration which affects high MP cameras.
The only down side is defraction which would likely arrive at f8.

What we need is new affordable good lenses and for Canon to allow third party lenses. I’m happy with my R6 MkII and my R7 what I need is good affordable glass.

The Canon 100MP could compete with the Fuji and Haselblad. I would buy it if it came out.

[Chris_Wolfgram]

@3:30 YES !!! Fix the 7 or 9 issues with the current R7 ! I freaking love / hate this camera ! I have two of them > because I have NO freaking choice ! Their is nothing else on the market that does what this camera does. OM1.... kind of. But 20mp kind of kills that option too. I guess until Canon comes out with a more pro level APS-C, I'll just have to keep working around all the R7's issues, which of course their are many. Oh, and I absolutely could not care less about anything to do with video. I'm a photographer.

[ajbroo]

What they need to do is release a 35mm 1.2 RF Lens

Regarding the 102mp rumored camera, Canon has experience here. The 5Ds launched in 2015 as the highest resolution full frame camera on the planet. It held that spot until 2019 when Sony went to 61mp on the a7R IV. Canon positioned that high megapixel body which proportionately had the same increase over the 5D Mk III 50.3 versus 22.3 about the same as 45mp vs 102mp, above the aging 5D Mk III. Whether by design or market impulses the 5Ds failed to replace the 5D Mk III. Instead it became a niche high res landscape camera and ultimately led to the improvement of several EF lenses that could not resolve the 50.3mp sensor. Fast forward to 2024 and we could see a similar path. The question is whether the 5Ds was profitable for Canon then. If so we could see an R5s if not they would have to design a special camera to handle the increased load. The 5Ds was effectively a 5D Mk III with more pixels and slower frame rates and fewer features. I could see Canon repeating that path if again they felt that the 5Ds was profitable. Canon does like to claim industry best products and has a long history of making outlandish industry firsts just to 'flex' on the competition. 1961, 50mm f/0.95; 1976, 85mm f/1.2; 1979, 24mm f/1.4; 1986, T90 camera; 1988, 200mm f/1.8 AF; 1989, 50mm f/1.0 AF; 2002, EOS 1Ds; 2009, 17mm TSE, 2015 11-24mm f/4 and 5Ds; 2018, 28-70mm f/2; 2023, 10-20mm f/4 IS. These are not all of Canon's flex moments. They very well might do an R5s at 102mp to wait for it... flex on the industry.

Great and informative video, Simon. Hopefully the R7ii soon will come too. I am sure that if Canon made a pro 7series, it would sell very good. Put it in a mini r3 body with a 24-26mp stacked sensor. That would have been an amazing sport and wildlife camera for those that don"t want to spend 15-20000 dollar on a camera and a lens. Even if it would cost a bit more, i am 100% certain that it would sell like crazy. I for sure would have been first in the line.
Wishing you and yours a great weekend.
Cheers, Bjoern

If an R6 III is coming, when do you think the best sale on a R6 II would be?

[paulmiles]

this is great for us that do product photography. I already bought a Hasselblad X2D for this and it is perfect for what I do. Will be interesting how this compares to Fuji and others who are already in the 100 megapixel game.

[adrian_div_photography]

If canon don't release a pro style r7mk2, they are clearly not listening to the market. Has to one of the more in demand bodies required.

100+ MP with Canon/Sony level autofocus would be game changing.

[RayValdezPhotography]

I want more MP but I feel like the sensor tech should be better if it does. Right now 45 is really good for most people. 100 is good if people want to crop in even more I guess unless it offers some better image quality. Fuji and Hasselblad 100mp camera images look great because of the special sensor it has and how it handles color and noise.

[araavedianfilms]

They still don't get it. It's not about megapixels or AI… it's all about dynamic range, stabilization wobbles, and video low-light capabilities, but I guess they have to overcompensate for their lack of practical technological innovation

[brucegraner]

I hope Canon will reconsider and put out a R7 Mk2 that is somewhat bigger (the current camera is too small), offers a battery grip, and fixes the rolling shutter issues. Even coming in between $2, 500-$3, 000 I think such a camera will be a big seller for Canon. It would team beautifully with their 100-500mm zoom. All you have to do is look at all the money being spent by wildlife photographers in places like Yellowstone and the Conowingo Dam, hundreds-of -thousands of dollars of gear lined up side-by-side on tripods, to realize the R7 Mk2 would be a very popular camera.

[mrStarcKbe]

It will be the R1x or R1s like we saw with the 1D. My guess, as they are doing lots of events to get you hooked to the R1 now.

[stevesharkey]

R7 Mk II was the only camera I would have been interested in (assuming Sigma started releasing longer lenses for the rfs mount)

[scotthime]

I don't see a 100mp camera with high frames per second. Even if they solved the data throughput issues with Gen 4 cards, the sheer volume of data generated would be staggering. Nor do I see a demand for a 100mp camera for heavy video work. BUT...for landscapes and studio stills? Sure. I think there would be a lot of people eager for that camera.

When it comes to a "new segment", for Canon at least, I am seeing some incredible hype over the new Leica Q3 43. It's a 60mp fixed lens retro styled body for "only" $6, 895. There ought to be some room for profit margins in that space, especially if all the hype is at all related to impending sales. I'm not sure Canon would ever make a fixed lens body, and they might have to bring out a couple of new compact lenses to really compete, but I don't see that being a show-stopper. But then again, Leica is unapologetic about having one superior fixed lens, so I guess that's a possibility.

Neither of those cameras would need all the action-oriented autofocus. The 100mp body would really benefit from high dynamic range and 16 bit color depth. The smaller retro body would probably benefit from excellent image stabilization and superior low light capability. And I think both of those cameras could work with just a BSI sensor (not stacked) which would reduce production costs. Both could live with only moderate video capabilities, and at 100mp they might even be able to leave out video completely like the X2D did. Stills photographers need some love, too.

And maybe they could finally conquer the heat issue completely without the need for a cooling grip.

[jefferyrobbins]

Is the sharpness of Canon telephoto lenses sufficient to support a 100MP sensor.?

[Ben_Stewart]

I can't wait for the Nikon Z50ii.

[Carlos-tmzk]

Hi!
If they manage to do a High mp camera with 12 fps mechanic, that would be sweet! However, I think this would be canon’s answer to the a7rv, which is a high mp camera.
All best
