5D S coming soon perhaps?

[Dave Throgmartin]

I've spent plenty of money on camera stuff. I don't want to spend more money.

What will the 50 MP camera offer that today's 20 MP cannot - a nearly imperceptible gain in sharpness for most of my uses? It seems like a photographic arms race -- buy this camera and then even more expensive lenses are required to maximize it.

No thanks.

I'm sure many will enjoy it, but the current full frame offerings certainly check the "good enough" check box IMHO.

I already have the 500mm L and it will maximize it (maybe). I know from using the 7D II increased resolution that the gain will be there and it will be over the entire sensor now.

However, most people will never realize the gain at their fingertips with this camera. Whether it be due to equipment limitations or chosen technique.
I suppose that is why there is a rumored 5D IV coming. It will fit the masses.

I hear that, but it is one of my chosen hobbies and it is expensive.

Based on what HDNitehawk posted as specs, I'm now reconsidering. For me, it's also too much money for just a little gain.

Your comment about a photographic arms race is pretty funny, and it's true.

It seems that the curve is approaching the asymptote.
