Canon Announces 50 Megapixel Sensor

Canon has announced the development of 50 mega pixel sensor. With a physical footprint similar to the sensors currently found in today's digital SLRs, Canon also managed to pack in 50% greater light sensitivity, too. Rumor is that Canon also wants to introduce a new file format as well.... ugh. But, still great news.

I wish, however, that the focus would switch from how much data a sensor can capture to the light sensitivity and quality of image produced. That's the frontier in digital photography right now.
