Canon Mentions The Possibility Of A High-Resolution Sensor In Interview

The interview was conducted by DC.Watch (translated), and the topic are Canon’s new [shoplink 21282]EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM[/shoplink] and [shoplink 21480]EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM[/shoplink]S lenses.

When pointed to the fact that the resolution figures of Canon’s “L” lenses are much higher than the [shoplink 2431]EOS 5D Mark III’s[/shoplink] 22MP sensor needs, the Canon executive said (machine translated):

I to higher pixel unnecessarily is the opposite, but there is also a feeling if there is a high-performance lens that matches the number of pixels (pixel pitch), and wanting to take a look at the descriptive power of its true. By ultra-wide-angle zoom image quality is good came out to the periphery, and we look forward to the advent of high-resolution model of the EOS.

Sounds like Canon is realising that customers want higher sensor resolutions on their professional bodies.
