    Not sure if someone had posted this before, but I have not seen it here. Those number just keep climbing! By the time I get a new decent digital camera they will probably by 1 gigpixel ;) http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082009canoneos1dsmarkiii.asp[^]

      I was just about to post about the 40D, the specs aren't as high as the 1Ds III, but it's an awesome camera for the cash! 40D info[^]

      I have no blog...

        21Mpixel, that's nothing. Try 22 to 39! http://www.hasselblad.com/products/h-system/h3d.aspx[^]

          and come with a bugeye lens that simultaneously takes pictures at several dozen different focal lengths so you can have your fore, mid, and background all in focus in the final image.

              Yeah, but you get what you pay for, a medium format hasselblad costs somewhere in the region of $45000, whereas the 1DSIII is $8k (US Dollars) Added to the there's no way the 'blad will do 5 frames a second Different applications entirely, just comparing megapixel counts is pretty much pointless...

              I have no blog...

                Very true. Also, when you get past a certain point in MPixel's, the optics play more of a role: upping the pixel count doesn't improve the picture quality, you need to start investing in decent lenses. I have a Canon 400D and at the moment the camera is capable of producing photo's of better quality than I'm currently capable of taking, so for now the 400D is all I need.

                    well, I always think of the 4gp camera when I hear that http://www.gigapxl.org/[^]. Of course, it is a film scanning process, not a true digital collection.... still it is amazing what a multi-gigapixel image looks like, and after seeing one you realize why someone would want it. I peeked over at Hasselblad http://www.hasselbladusa.com/products/h-system/h3d.aspx[^] because I always used there sensors when someone posted about various megapixel sizes, but they haven't grown much, still at only 39 megapixels. Still if you buy it for me, I will gladly tell you the reasons why so many megapixels are good. ;P the problem with megapixels is really they are noticeable in power scales, you might not notice 5 to 6 megapixels without a trained eye, 5 to 20 megapixels is twice the horizontal and twice the vertical resolution, quite noticeable and very nice. :)

                      I also have a 400D ('enthusiast kit here in aus is bundled with the 17-85 lens), it's going to my mother when the 40D is released :D I'll also be providing a good home to a lonely 17-55 2.8, which should be a good all round lens :D

                        40D, excellent! I'll keep my 400D for quite a while I think. Mine came with the 18-55 canon lens, I've just bought the 90-300. I like the zoom but I am finding the minimum of 90 makes it hard to take photo's of closer subjects. If I ever manage to afford a 20D or 40D I'll keep my 400D and then I've got two bodies for two different lenses.
