As was expected, Canon finally released its super megapixel cameras as well as some other surprises. Read on below to learn more about each and place your pre-order today!
Canon answer to medium format – The 5Ds & 5Ds R
Canon has finally decided to release some products to compete with Nikon’s D800 (the 5Ds) and the D800e/D810 (the 5Ds R), so if 36.4 megapixels wasn’t enough for you then here’s an extra 14.3 megapixels on top of that! While it is not a “true” medium format camera since it is still based off a 35mm full frame sensor, if you are talking number of megapixels it’s basically in the same league now.

EF 11-24mm f/4L Ultra Wide-Angle Zoom Lens
While this isn’t the 180 degree field of view of the 8-15mm that I enjoyed owning, it still offers a respectable 126 degree FOV. This lens has a much greater ability to maintain straight lines. It also offers Subwavelength Coating (SWC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC) help to significantly reduce flare and ghosting.

Conclusion
I wasn’t a big fan of the Nikon super megapixel D800/D800e because it was so easy to get blurry shots and honestly it’s more megapixels than people really need. I expect more of the same for these new Canon’s, but it will still be fun to see what they have to offer.
The new lens is a great addition to the lineup, but its nearly $3000 price tag is too much for my blood. I was pretty happy with the 8-15mm so I can’t see spending nearly twice as much for this one.
The Rebels area always where Canon innovates and offers amazing value – this is true here once again. These are awesome cameras at excellent prices. Pair one of these with the SIGMA 50mm f/1.4 Art Series and I’ll bet it will destroy most of the images people are getting with the new 7D Mark II. I can’t wait to review the T6s!
