    2. High-speed + (one-shot and Servo): 14
      High-speed (one-shot and Servo): 7
      Low-speed (one-shot and Servo): 3

      Huh?

      One mode might be 12bit instead of 14bit, like the M50 where single shot is 14bit, but faster modes are all 12bit.
    5. High-speed + (one-shot and Servo): 14
      High-speed (one-shot and Servo): 7
      Low-speed (one-shot and Servo): 3

      Huh?
      Different speed settings? Maybe for when you don't need 14 fps. I know that when my DSLR had 5+ fps (I forgot if it was the 40D or 50D), I always used the 3 fps setting in continuous shooting mode since the faster mode gave me too many pictures.
    6. there are some typos/mistakes/copy-paste errors from M6 i think...
      RAW: (3:2) 6960 x 4640, (4:3) 6960 x 4640, (16:9) 6960 x


      4640, (1:1) 6960 x 6960
      TransmissionHi-Speed USB (2.0) (Micro USB connector)

      USB charging yey! :D

      Hope so. If it's true it's pretty nice. I also don't need and can't stand too high fps. But if they have 7 fps with tracking priority that's nice.

      On another note there's no 24fps and 60fps in full HD so the internet is gonna have a field day with this one.

      Edit: Yay UHS II
    8. High-speed + (one-shot and Servo): 14
      High-speed (one-shot and Servo): 7
      Low-speed (one-shot and Servo): 3

      Huh?
      Most cameras have settings for hi and low frame rates. On some you can customize the setting for the low frame rate. The extra frames per second (above high) come with a trade off, e.g. my 1D X is 12 fps, or 14 fps with mirror lockup shooting jpg. In this case, it’s probably 7 fps with focusing between each frame, or 14 fps with the focus locked at the first frame.
    10. After seeing this, I think it's totally fake or Canon has some extremely incompetent employees writing it.

      The PD-E1 is mighty powerful for an LP-E17 battery....

      Not a single mention of 24p or any other frame rate options for video.

      Lots of typos...

      But the High Speed + option still has the One-Shot / Servo AF option.
    13. But the High Speed + option still has the One-Shot / Servo AF option.
      Good point, but in reality the whole list is filled with errors and typos. As I noted above, effective pixels exceed total pixels, and that’s plain wrong.
