I'm not an expert on Canon, but if they are going to 46MP it will be a Sony sensor in the camera (not a Canon sensor). I think Canon has been stuck realizing that they were at the end of the line as far as competing successfully with their own sensors.
So it is probably where a Pentax FF will be going eventually. Both Nikon and Canon are going to offering it sooner. Whether it performs as well in the dynamic range/high ISO department remains to be seen. I have difficulty seeing how it could. On Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 11:49 AM, P.J.
