If it got 20mpix or smaller sensor it cant do 6k video . no need even discuss about this matterTo be REVOLUTIONARY instead of just 'our best version yet because we improved a few things' it would need to offer 6k video.
Everyone mastering in 4K wants to be able to crop in. Shooting video in 4k is the past, not the future.
Sorry, but I could not resist responding. Maybe you need to learn ho to move the AF with your nose? I've never seen a "nose operated camera" as a feature, but who knows, that jaut may be the new way of "interactivity" of the future photography. Or you just need to flip the screen when you use the view finder for taking pictures.I'm hopeful, but somewhat skeptical of an AF trackpad, given how bad the M-fn bar on the EOS R is... Would love to see something better than a joystick. I like using the touch-screen on my R to move the AF point, but hate how easy it is to accidentally move it with my nose (or, how you can't even use it if you have your screen flipped in).
The price of the 1Dx didn't change since the day it came avaliable, the only time the price is reduced is when the next model is in the horizon. I am not sure you will waif 4 years.The camera sounds fantastic and I bet the 4K will be around 450mbps and not the 100mbps or so that Sony files are, so grading should be fantastic.
I'll get one a year or so after it comes out, when I can get it a lot cheaper.
There's life in the old mirror yet!
As physiscist I always like to have the best data with fine graininess ... but most old movies are around 2 ... 2.5 k resolution except those 70mm movies like e.g. 2001 A Space Odyssey. 4k or 6k wouldn't make the movies much more attractive because we see great acting, have well designed sound just without fancy surround effects, great use of light, perspectives, composition.To be REVOLUTIONARY instead of just 'our best version yet because we improved a few things' it would need to offer 6k video.

At first I couldn't find a use for it, but then Viggo told me how I could use it to turn the level on and off, and also the histogram. Love it.The EOS R touch bar isn't bad .. just that some photographer's lack the knack to implement it. I've seen scores of posts and videos where people have put it to good use. And it can also be ignored.

Most people don't buy a 1Dx. If you were talking about a 5D or EOS-M camera, I would agree. But this is the top-of-the-line camera and it's going to be used in big productions. So 6K wouldn't be really ridiculous to have on this camera, if the sensor has enough pixels. We don't know yet.Agreed, 6k and all those numbers are buzzwords, and they sound great, but when you actually try to edit these files or ask what is the final audience most people will shoot in 1080 if not 4k. I like 4k because you can do scale down 3840x2160 to 16:9 2400 x 1350 for youtube then export for ig 1080 x 1350 - but I think 6k would be excess for the average target audience. 6k and all that jazz is more so for individuals who are shooting in the industry or indies but in that case they opt for cinema cameras anyways.
How would battery life improve significantly if 1) it takes the same batteries as the 1DXii, and 2) the camera is so fundamentally similar to the 1DXii?
That sounds good for future mirrorless also.The 90D is ”fundamentally similar” to the 80D and shares the battery, yet it has something like 50% improved battery life. Canon’s new generation of electronics seem to be very energy efficient.
Thats not true. I paid $4,750 each for my two 1DX MkII's less than a year after they were released, I got the free CFast cards and readers too, I also got a 3 year extended third party warranty as well as the 'real' Canon 12 month warranty, the price was the same if you bought one or more so no discount for getting two. Back then the B&H price was $5,995.The price of the 1Dx didn't change since the day it came avaliable, the only time the price is reduced is when the next model is in the horizon.

And I also prefere to SEE the image I am picturing than let an electronic device SHOW me what it see.
The 1Dx camera is a top-of-the line camera, but I don't know how often it will be used in big video productions, or how many big video productions will be shot in 6K. High end video cameras might be preferable to a 1DX for that work.Most people don't buy a 1Dx. If you were talking about a 5D or EOS-M camera, I would agree.

I believe he was referring to the MAP price set by Canon. Of course it’s possible to negotiate a better price from an individual retailer beginning on Day One, But that is solely the decision of your retailer. In your case, you got a good deal on the bodies, but by your own admission the price you paid was not reflective of the typical price at the time.Thats not true.

Personally, I won’t buy one unless it supports 6K black-and-white at a variable 16-18fps.Here we go again
I don't believe he was referring to the MAP, which we all know Canon took a much closer interest in a few years ago. I believe the context of masterpix's comment was telling Bennymiata he would have to wait four years to get a good deal on a MkIII, I pointed out that probably isn't the case.I believe he was referring to the MAP price set by Canon.
