So, which of the big companies is going to be the first to offer an affordable 100mp camera?
Fuji is obviously already out there, but this thing is Eight thousand dollars. I suspect that when it happens (eventually) it will be Nikon.
I feel like historically they are the company which has introduced high end features at a lower price.

There would be literally zero demand, something else has to go backwards for megapixels to go to 100.
I would love to see a survey response of every person who brought a camera over 40mp and what amount ended up regretting it.

I suspect it will be Sony for the a7R line

It makes me laugh when people say "That will never happen. People don't need it. The hardware cant handle it. etc."I'm old enough to remember people saying the exact same shit about 10mp cameras when they came out in 2002-2003. I used to sell them for a living. We were told that this is the most anyone will ever need. Now FF standard is around 45mp. As basic computer specs continue to improve, camera spec expectations will go up too. There's a lot more today pushing progress. You've got Hasselblad and Fuji pushing out 100mp+ cameras, you've got camera phone specs improving, amateur film makers are using digital cameras more and more. None of these were considerations in the early 2000s. Progress was glacial by comparison.
Cameras will go over 100mp. We just have to wait for that baseline PC spec to shift up a level.

Another snapshitter cares more about grams and millimeters than image quality. Sad, but totally on brand for /p/ gearfags.

the human eye can't see more than 3mp anyway

Making 100MP capable lenses is never going to get cheaper.

For 100mp to be practical for full frame they need to find some way to get a faster readout without a massive drop in dynamic range.

>affordable
the mainstream doesn't care about mp, they take pics on their phone. there's no reason to offer affordable prices to a niche market for any product

I doubt it.
I think Nikon took a huge hit economically from the AF kerfuffle, and I feel like they are struggling bit now.
And besides, the Z6 is still kept at a (very) conservative 24mp, just like its ancient predecessor the D600 and its contemporary APS-C brother.
Even the D800 from 2012 has 36MP.

Most platforms are too restrictive to post one so you're just going to scale it down.

Just another example of how megapixel count fails to guarantee resolution, the 36mpx Nikon D800 achieves 120lp/mm, whereas the D800E achieves 140lp/mm. But the 24mpx Nikon D3x achieves a record setting 160lp/mm.

Knowing how many resolution-axing design flaws DSLRs have these could very well be real but really accidental results. But they do not represent reality, only an error rate, calibration issues, and a bogus procedure mixed with ken rockwell’s even more bogus definition of a good lens.

>remebriating that consumer cameras are a small part of Nik’s actual company.
Nikon should fucking do it already. They already make more sophisticated sensors than that, they just don’t produce them in quantity & at a cost low enough to build a camera around that isn’t priced like a fucking Leica, so they keep using Sonys boring old sensors. It was like 5 years ago they came up with some extremely fast sensor for processing shitfucktons of video as well, but as long as there are cheaper alternatives that are good enough for the market, all that stuff sits in their industrial technology divisions in devices the size of houses. Youd’ think with buying Red they’d have a use to scale some of that mfg and start ramping up pressure in the sensor market.

Canon. They just made the worlds most affordable f/1.2 FF lens. Next will be a 100mp body.

There is already 245mp in use

I used to believe the megapixels and full frame dont matter "they are only for photos you want to zoom in" which is every single thing that's worth taking a picture of with a real camera instead of your phone

Theres a bigger chance of the next iphone hitting 100MP than boomer mirrorless cameras
