Ive been VERY pleased with my 21mp... Cramming more megapixels into the same size sensor isnt always a good thing...

some saying 30mp?! wow.. my RAW files are plenty big enough as it is! lol.

Better start ordering drives now. I am up to 12 externals I think. 9 portables and 3 desktop externals to back up the portables.

People say megapixels don't matter, and they are probably true, but I do love all 21 of the 5DmkII megapixels.

+1 I think they should concentrate on getting more from 16 Mpx versus adding more. Get the noise problems solved for one thing... They all claim high iso noise control but they really haven't drastically improved.

8TB on board and 16 Tb in the NAS server... and I still have to delete TIF files...
