You are presumably hearing-impaired then.

Or a troll.

Are you telling me that it is impossible for canon to come out with a 23.7
megapixel camera ?

That would only require reducing the pixel pitch to 84% of what it is in
the 1DSmkII.

    Or for them to produce a Medium Format camera. :-)

If they don't make any lenses for Medium Format, that wouldn't make much
sense, because, after all, Bodies are just a hook to get you to buy
lenses.

    But this would give them the excuse to make the lenses as well. :-)

So maybe they're looking to get their hooks into you for medium format
lenses.

If you do a search on canon with 23 Megapixel it returns a few links that
mention. The following when talking about the 20d

Continuous mode capture: 5fps up to 23 frames

Perhaps this is where the confusion lay.

Next year, maybe...

Pro film is at about 26MP (or so I'm told), so I would imagine that THAT
is the benchmark that the manufacturers are working towards. Then the
DSLR will be on a par with PRO film resolution wise.

You can (almost) get a 22mp dslr now:
