Earlier this week, Canon announced that it’s developing a new DSLR that captures a staggering 120 megapixels. If you’re interested in purchasing one if/when it hits the market, here’s a tip: start stocking up on memory cards NOW.
You’ll need a huge amount of storage space because the RAW files captured by the camera takes up 210 megabytes each.
Eric Reagan over at Photography Bay caught a glimpse of the prototype camera at Canon EXPO 2015 in New York. The company was showing off a working prototype camera that consisted of a 120MP APS-H CMOS sensor installed in a Canon 5Ds body. The prototype could only shoot at ISO 100, but it was producing high-quality RAW photos at 210MB.
At that file size, a 32GB memory card will only be able to store about 150 photos, and a 1TB hard drive will only be able to store about 4,700 photos — it’s not a tiny number, but it not a lot either if you regularly do extensive photo shoots for clients.
Pretty soon, a 512GB memory card might not seem so ridiculous large after all.
