Lets hope they DON'T have the IS continuously running on this model, still haven't bothered to address peoples concerns about that on the R

At this point in the announcement timeline, we've got very little to work with so assumptions are perfectly natural on a rumors site. How that is a surprise is beyond me.Lots of assumptions being made here... What if the sensor doesn't even use DPAF, for example? There's so much we don't know—I wouldn't get your hopes up too high before we get it in our hands.
It is pretty much the same conceptual layout design as the 5D:
1. joystick - exist; improved location
2. AF-on - improved location
3. dial wheel - exist
4. programmable button between grip and lens mount - exist
5. two cards; CF and SD types
6. even the shutter button looks exactly like the 5D (R and RP does not)
I prefer the screen is fixed because I don't like moving parts, risk to failure.
as long as it can change modes in one second (without using rear lcd) i will be happy.BUT—the mode dial can function as another control dial during shooting, which I would way rather prefer.

I don’t see why 7k is reasonable based on what we know So far.
Let’s see what the final specs are but the price range for a new 5D mark sounds right
$7,000 USD?
No, that will be the price of two bodies. Who is saying that? Your reply quote was cropped like a bad Canon video....lol.
How do you know that?No. It will only engage when the release button is pushed half way.
Since I am a freelancing, fulltime photographer and videographer I would consider myself a "pro". I have a 1DX II and use it alongside the 5D IV in my daily work (though I prefer the 5D usualy and for video work the S1H).Ever wondered how pros have managed without a Mode dial since the dawn of the 1 Series?
I layed out my thinking pretty detailed, dont you think?I don’t see why 7k is reasonable based on what we know So far.

true, its an outstanding feature, but I think its a pretty specific need and not that important in like 95% of photographers daily work (unless you do highend studio/fashion shootings)A perfect camera for me would need an electronic (global) shutter so you could do flash sync at any speed. That would be a huge deal for photographers that mix ambient and flash outdoors.
Thats why I said "if the rumours are true".Lots of assumptions being made here... What if the sensor doesn't even use DPAF, for example? There's so much we don't know—I wouldn't get your hopes up too high before we get it in our hands.
Hm, this is purely anectotal, but nearly all professional video/photo guys I know try to get the best and latest equipment their budget allows for. There is a lot of GAS in my town :-DPro does not = well to do. I don’t know any well heeled photographers that do it for a living. Not a one. All the guys I know that have money to burn on gear do something else for a living. I know about 4 pros. They are as frugal as they can be when it comes to purchasing and tend to not have the latest.
Is this irony? =D I personaly want exactly the oposite. Though this is obviously just a matter of personal preferences. I like physical buttons because they are easier to click without a doubt and you get tactile feedback to be sure you actualy hit that button. Thats why I like the Nikon Fullframe Bodies - lots of different switched and buttons : )I’m gonna really miss the Touch Bar , I have no idea why the R bodies need a stupid joystick... at least there is no mechanical mode dial, excellent t. Now, pleeeeaaaase make the modes editable ...
Isn't that because, on a DSLR, such a switch is required, because to record video, the mirror needs to be locked up out of the way.But honestly the only thing I truly HATE about this camera is no easy switch mode to video like previous cameras in the DSLR line. I want my video switch toggle back!!!!! Made it easy as a hybrid shooter to shift from photos to video mode.
