Canon credited with intending to release over 100MP EOS R system camera

The source returned to the topic, started in December by reporting that Canon is planning to release a 90MP EOS R5s mirrorless camera. It was originally intended to be a variation of the illustrated EOS R5, which is known to use a 45MP sensor.

Recalling that this is still unofficial information, the source claims that the resolution will be higher – more than 100 megapixels. Information about this allegedly came from a “reliable informant”. However, according to him, Canon has not yet decided which image sensor to use in a high-resolution camera with an RF mount. However, it is known that the camera will act as a kind of repetition of Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R SLR models at a new stage of technology development. Recall that the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R cameras released in 2015 had the highest resolution among full-frame SLR cameras at that time, equal to 50.6 megapixels. They were positioned as an affordable alternative to medium format cameras, and the manufacturer attributed advertising, studio, portrait, landscape and architectural photography to their areas of application.

Choosing a sensor with a resolution of more than 100 megapixels will further distance the new camera from the EOS R5. The informant also said that the new camera will not just be a variant of the EOS R5 body with a higher resolution sensor. Perhaps it will have ergonomics, more tailored to the needs of landscape and studio photographers.
