Yet again another Canon FF mirrorless rumor: Photokina release and 24 MP sensor

The Canon FF mirrorless rumor keep coming back again. After being hinted for a possible CP+ release in January (didn’t happen) it’s now rumored to happen at Photokina. This of course sounds a more likely timing. LEt’s hope Canon was just fooling us when saying:

“it would be a little unrealistic to say that we will suddenly start offering a professional mirrorless camera” (article here).

Canonrumors speculates the new FF mirrorless could feature a 24MP sensor. I am not a Megapixel war fan but don’t know if from a pure marketing point of view 24Mp are enough to steal the spotlight from the future Sony A9 70-80Mp camera?
