Here we go again, nothing more tasty than speculation threads just before the introduction of a brand new product... difficult to resist, so why not.
I talked today with a friend that is in the top of his field and shoots for the best artists and Galleries in this city. He has a Scanning back Betterlight, but most of his work was captured with the Canon Mk 2.
When we talked today he said that he just got an almost new Leaf 22MP back (Mamiya mount) at an incredible price for the conditions of the machine.
I was surprised because I knew he was thinking about the Mk3 for the last year, but he said something that makes sense: "too many pixels" in too small size sensor. The FX, --to use the format just invented by Nikon that applies exactly to Canon[-- is half the size of a 22MP DB, so the "sensels" have to be half.
It is the same thing that happens with other formats, for example all the point and shoot cameras that have 10MP are not the same as the DSLRs with same 10MP. It is true, the first are very convenient and some can be carried in the shirt pocket.
So, lets see what happens when the images are out...
What will probably will make things more interesting is when the backs begin to get closer to the 8k range of the Canon...
ah, and there is also the problem of resolving limitations of Canon glass...
