A new cinema camera or a video shooting oriented camera (or both) is the most awesome and hyped news for me since the c200 release.

Canon is finished. Dead. Sony will release a beast in a few month, Apple will release a new iphone with 2x better low light capabilities and insane image computing, and by 2022 Canon will realize they actually need to do something that looks like a professional product. We’re in a world today where we talk Iphone 100MP when canon is releasing the RP without 24 frames per second. They diserve their losses

At base ISO, you need 2^14 pixels to get your 14 stops of DR. With the same scene, double the amount of pixels and that means dropping a stop of DR.
Not terribly surprised, coupled with CEO Fujio Mitarai's statement regarding their view of the market in the next couple of years. I am waiting on the M5 II (or whatever replaces it) but I've thought about what would make me buy it and frankly there's not a lot other than IBIS or BSI or a variable angle screen that are just must-haves (and even I might need two of those must-haves to reasonably think of paying full price). Mind you I'm talking realistic upgrades, not pie-in-the-sky BS. But that's the world makers and buyers are in - unless there's a breakthrough or they decide to make good with Kasey of Camera Conspiracies, Tony & Chelsea and everyone one of us and deliver a friggin' camera with all of the options that should be on a camera.... there's not a whole lot that's really, really compelling to pay full price. The environment around photography is changing rapidly while the technology is stagnating. The makers are likely going to sit back and ponder their moves towards profitability. And that might mean waiting for the world to figure out if still cameras have major seat at the table or become a 2nd tier citizen to some form of video cams or other media equipment or smartphones simply eat the marketplace.
Nope.... with a perfect sensor, 100% efficiency and no read noise, it would take 2^14 photons to produce 2^14 electrons, and that translates to 14 stops of DR. If the pixel was only half the size, then it would only be hit with 2^13 photons, so then you have 2^13 electrons and 13 stops of DR.You sure you understand how it works? 2^14 pixels = 16384, it's a picture of 128x128 pixels.
I suspect you're mixing up pixels and bits.
You have some valid points, but not this one. “Better and more compelling,” is a matter of opinion. For one thing, I guarantee that many people will find the EOS RP compelling — it’s the least expensive current-model FF camera on the market.The competitions will continue to deliver better and more compelling camera system.
Neuro, normally you are right, but this time you are wrong. Phones are going to completely replace DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. I have already given up on them for bird photography and the reason is easy to see. Just look at the following pictures!YAPODFC
Lovely pics, Don. It’s clear that your phone camera has superior animal eyeAF. I capitulate — Canon is, indeed, doomed.Neuro, normally you are right, but this time you are wrong.

I'm curious too, the 80D is only 3 years old, and it's not lacking much (other than possibly 4K). Give it a resolution bump, maybe the better AF system from the 7d Mk II, I'm not even sure what else. A few FPS?
The 7d mark ii is 4.5 years old, I wonder if there still is a chance that these lines get merged?
In your previous message you were talking about pixels and now you use 'photons' in place of pixels.Nope.... with a perfect sensor, 100% efficiency and no read noise, it would take 2^14 photons to produce 2^14 electrons, and that translates to 14 stops of DR. If the pixel was only half the size, then it would only be hit with 2^13 photons, so then you have 2^13 electrons and 13 stops of DR.
If you want that smaller pixel to get hit with more light, you need more light, and that means either bigger glass, more time, or turn up the lights..... all of which change the scene...
The same source also said that the Canon Rumors readers would be disappointed to know that a “professional level” camera such a replacement for the EOS 7D Mark II or EOS-1D X Mark II isn’t scheduled for this year.

Sure "many people" will find it compelling. It's currently #53 on Amazon's Best Seller in Mirrrorless. Sony has 4 products on the top 4 and Canon M50 as #5. We will see if that's what the market want.I guarantee that many people will find the EOS RP compelling
