Canon's new EOS-1 DX DSLR will produce the same resolution as the 21-million-pixel EOS-1 Ds Mark III despite having three million fewer pixels according to the company's senior general manager of photo products, Tsunemasa Ohara.
'We have designed the Canon CMOS sensor for the EOS 1DX so that it is much thinner than before and so that the photodiodes are closer to the surface of the sensor. This way the pixels collect more light and produce a better, clearer, signal.
'With less noise, and our new improved processing algorithms, the camera is able to reproduce more detail. While using MFT is perhaps not the best way to measure the resolution of the camera, if you did use this method the results for the EOS-1 DX and EOS-1 Ds Mark III would be very similar.'
While it is easy to see how the full-frame 12-frames-per-second camera is a replacement for the sport-orientated EOS-1D Mark IV it is less obvious how it replaces the high resolution EOS 1DS III.
