Default Canon's 120 Megapixel APS-H Sensor

http://www.photographyblog.com/news...non_cmos_sensor

Canon Inc. announced today that it has successfully developed an APS-H-size CMOS image sensor that delivers an image resolution of approximately 120 megapixels (13,280 x 9,184 pixels), the world’s highest level of resolution for its size.

Canon had a 50 megapixel sensor 3 years back that did not go anywhere, so this is more proof of concept, like what car manufacturers like to do. It's probably not going to be seen in any commercial product, and I doubt it will have any great high ISO or dynamic range capabilities, but it's a reminder that this is what sensors can go up to, if anyone really wanted it to go that far.
