While I think Canon need a high megapixel camera, they need to keep their eyes open towards the other end as well. Several well regarded and very popular cameras launched the last couple of years, including the Df, the A7s, the E-M1, the GH4 and all the Fujis, are 16MP cameras, the Sony only 12. This seems to be a sweet spot for most:
- Excellent low light photography
- A good size for 4K video
- Not too demanding on the lenses
- Small files
- Prints fantasticly up to A2 and sometimes larger
I don't know if this is among the reasons why Canon seem to have stopped around 20MP, but unfortunately, they haven't seemed to reap the benefits of the relatively low pixel number.
