Canon Rumors posted a very short blurb (http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/03/the-megapixels-are-coming-cr1/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+canonrumors%2Frss+%28Canon+Rumors%29). They must be hearing some at least vaguely credible info to post this. Not sure how to read that first sentence though. Is the suggestion coming from Canon?
More pixels are coming
A suggestion that a high megapixel camera is coming from Canon, and could be introduced near the end of 2012. Alongside the camera would come new ultra wide angle lens(es). It was suggested both a zoom and a prime in the area of 16mm. I warn that this sort of conjecture will be a regular occurrence going forward I think. There is a large number of people in the community that desire a 35+ megapixel camera from Canon.
NAB 2012?
Some have suggested the upcoming 4K DSLR will be the high megapixel camera. I don’t believe that to be true, as the high megapixel count is definitely a request of the photographic community, and paying for high end video features is probably not something that would make the segment too happy.

They only difference for me on more MP is that suck already at 16 MP thus would suck twice at bad at 32 MP ;D

I don't really need more MP, what I need is a lower price on the 5D Mk III

Here Here. +1
and for myself, a good wide angle lens. I have a bag full of teles and zooms.
Flat field 16mm? I'd want one until I see the price.
Lets see, we have the EOS numbers, the ##D, the 1D, The 5D and the 7D, what will it be? 3D? LOL

Yes, point-and-shoots suck at 16MP. That's why you need to step up to a big MP full frame camera. ;)

How about more MP at a lower price than the 5DMIII? Oh wait, that's a D800. :P

I'll second that. I'd rather have a pure stills camera at half the price than pay for video I don't use.
As for the "rumours community" demanding 35+MP, I bet that not one in a hundred of them would ever print anything that needs more than 12MP. It's pure measurebating.

Exactly. I hate the numbers game they play. This megapixel is bigger so you have to buy it. There are so many things I would want before higher resolution. How about an articulated LCD? Then I could angle the screen when doing low angle photos and avoid breaking my neck. It's funny how they put a feature like that on the low end rebel but forget to add it to the pro models.
