The headline selling feature of these new bodies was an all new 50.6 MP full frame sensor a massive amount of resolution that left the competitors in the dust. The voices grew louder for Canon to answer this challenge…and that answer eventually came in the form of the 5Ds/5DsR twins. Along the way Sony pushed the bar a bit higher with is A7RII mirrorless body and it’s 42MP. Both the D800 and 5D MK3 have been very successful cameras, though the D800 formula has been tweaked a good deal more (D800e/D810) over the last four years. While the Canon had a modest bump to 22.3MP (from 21MP) the Nikon D800 jumped to 36.3MP (from the 12.1MP in the D700), and most of those who had previously argued in the Nikon camp that high megapixels were unnecessary now announced that high MP was the way to go, while many Canon apologists took the opposite tack. In the previous generation of cameras Canon had boasted the highest MP counts in most of its bodies, but when the Canon 5D MKIII and the Nikon D800 were released the roles were reversed.
Ahh, the bloody days of the MegaPixel Wars.
