I'm not sure what you're driving at.
You said, "I expect the 5D4 (if it comes out) or else the next RF bodies, will have the resolution desired..."
My point was that the 5D Mark IV most assuredly came out in 2016.

I'm not sure what you're driving at.
I have asked this question before and I thought it was answered in the affirmative. I don't know. I am not a technical guy. Can I not print 20% larger with 24mp image vs 20mp at 300dpi?
Remember we can not get the firmware updates with these dslr bodies that the mirrorless bodies can get.
Really? 50% of the photographers I know (for my country) that are going to Tokyo are now Sony shooters. Me I don't know yet.
I agree. I just pulled out my 1DXMKII specs and you can just lay them over these, with a few exceptions. Could this be a joke?
61 AF points?
Digic 6?????
The big draw for me and the vast majority of the sports shooters I know and work with is the OVF.
All the enhancement to focus with the LCD mean virtually NOTHING to us.
With all the fanfare and fireworks about video "and no LOG on the fire" (bad joke) but you can get a better video camera for less than half the price with so many more features and better ergonomics for video.
Why go to CFExpress for 20MP's ???? This makes no sense.
On the credibility scale I give this a "3" out of "10"
If this is true "who the heck" on the pro/agency level is going to buy a bunch of stock to replace all their MKII's ???
Canon can not be this stupid. I don't believe the specs and think it's just "Click Bait"
I'd agree, but wait till the next Olympics (Paris 2024). This is the last niche where Canon still has as a strong hold, and it is shrinking.I'm pretty sure majority of cameras at Tokyo will be Canons. Naturally can't speak for your friends/country, but I'm willing to bet <20% of the cameras we'll see at the stands will be Sonys, and >60% will be Canons.
I have spoken to resellers and the numbers are shocking. 90% less pre-order sales on this mark III compared to the mark II.
I truely hope they will regret this to their bones. Its pretty much the most important feature Canon developed in the last decade, maybe the only important one.With this camera Canon is still displaying their true colors. Switching off DPAF is now a trade mark Canon move.

When there were no real alternatives, the pro world had to put up with arrogant, monopolistic Canon who would do things like add an extra heat sink to a 1Dx, switch on better video capture in firmware, and charge US$15k for it. This is Canon's colors. Hold back their best tech and find ways to extort the market with it.
But now Sony has said with their wallet that they want the market Canon has been abusing. It takes time, but the tide is turning.

Nothing changed compared to the mark II. First specs are 100% equal. 20mp / 16fps / WTF??
You obviously haven't shot 4K60 with the 1DX2. Useless.

That's a bizarre reading of the specs. For one, the 1DXii only does 14fps with AE/AF, not 16 like the 1DXiii specs (or 20 in liveview). Second, even if the resolution hasn't increased the it's almost certainly and entirely new sensor. This is also ignoring that the camera appears to have a completely new AF system. Saying it has nothing over the 1DXii is just silly.
Many more AF points to choose from, great. What about selecting a players eye and track that eye in AI SERVO tru OVF? Haha, this AF system is so 2015. We are in 2020, unfortunately Canon is not..
It will take years for Canon to launch a mirrorless pro body, I might switch to sony too..
Yes I remember. My EOS 50E had it too. But that is not our pointThe EOS 3 had eye autofocus through the OVF, but it was whatever YOUR eye focused on!
That's his point. Why didn't Canon find a way to do this (ie using a semi-transparent mirror) instead of just adding more old tech focus points? A) because this wasn't their priority.Go troll somewhere else. No DSLR has eye tracking with mirror down.
Not really the reason. Take battery life as a reason instead, and Canon perhaps doubling the battery life with the 1dx3 compared to the 1dx2, which was already incredible compared to a mirrorless.Yea I expect mirrorless AF (and EVF) will be good enough by 2024 that lot of people have gone mirrorless by then. For now they still can't compete with 1DX (and D5/D6) series DSLR bodies on items that really matter for pro sports photographers.
