Actually, this is not very surprising. The megapixel race have gone to sleep until  Nikon’s D800 and the rumored 75MP new Canon woke it up again.

Surprise, Nobody Cares About MegaPixels Anymore, We Want Better Low Light Performance

Last week we did a quick poll to see what should camera makers focus on. Here are the results. I know that DIYP is not statistically a valid group, but I do think that with 1.000 votes it represents the general direction in which the wind is blowing.

With a clear 60.37% of the votes photographers want Better Low Light Performance

Coming in second with 22.05% is Improved Focusing

More Megapixels came in last with only 1.42% of the votes.

We have had 5.69% wanting better video and 10% wanted other stuff, check out the comments on the original post.
