Also 36mp was the realm of medium format digital cameras. Now you can get that for the price of a prosumer camera. The chip is slightly larger than 35mm.
My Proline 16803 is twice the size nearly yet 16.8mp. I must admit that is a hell of a lot of pixels jammed in there. It'd be like an STL11 that is 36mp.
More megapixels = potentially sharper images given good lenses??
The next step up for these cameras will be medium format size chips.
5D Mark iii will be very interesting. Canon has the lead on video so I would expect upgrades to the video to keep that lead.
Some sort of high quality autofocus would be good. I know pros don't necessarily want that with the narrow depth of field but hey, my little Sony camcorder has autofocus.
