Would the extra pixels be an advantage for astro work or, is it just that one can get bigger images, because I suppose if you really think about it, they have just crammed more pixels into the same space as the 5D, which is 12.8 megs.
It is a pretty pricey beast to, at about $11,000.00 for the body only.
Just wondered about the comparison to the 5D, in its capture ability for astro work.

An awful lot of money to pay for camera just to get some extra pixcels and chip that is the same size as a 35mm film frame.
I think the advantages of the 21mpix full frame chip in the camera would be mostly wider field images - getting image per exposure, the camera is fully professional so it'll be very rugged too.
