But as long that the 1Dx is current I guess that you can get by with 18. With the current premium lens lineup and the use of a tripod 60MP would be ideal for FF. The best camera is the one that you have with you and the EOS M with four lenses fits my snug messenger bag nicely and even a coat pocket solo with the 22/2.0 pancake mounted... And yes: My arms are good enough to use it now! :-)) -- teleportation kills |

With a higher resolution you get more crop ability, less sharpening artifacts and etc etc... At 50MP you'll have little need of an antialiasing filter since the sensor out resolves most but not all lenses and skipping the AA will give you even more resolution... That said: I really like my 8MP 1D2! :-)) -- teleportation kills |

I seperate the standard kit lens from it's body the EOS M3 , the body goes in one pocket and the lens in another, usually on oppersite sides of my jacket/coat. I have an extra lens or two there at times. Habit from the Leica years... Usually the FD 50/1.8 and Samy 11/2.0.

A little food for thought. How many megapixels do you need? http://www.sebastianboatca.com/how-many-megapixels-do-you-need/ Utter nonsense. How can I tell anything about image size and resolution by looking at poorly exposed, miniaturized jpegs on a web page? -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

How can I tell anything about image size and resolution by looking at poorly exposed, miniaturized jpegs on a web page? It is after all just the author expressing his opinion, as many blog authors do, and the jpegs presented are fine for viewing in the context of the blog, rather than intense pixel peeking. Hardly “miniaturized jpegs”, but sized for online blog viewing. I posted it as an article which might be of some interest to folks who subscribe to r.p.d, or a.p as it is far more on topic than much of what passes through these photo NGs these days. So take it, or leave it, and I suspect you would prefer to leave it. -- Regards, Savageduck |

My brother bought a D600 a while ago, then barely used it.
