I currently shoot with 5Diii and 5D (Classic). Original 5D is on it's last legs (>300,000 shutter), so time to upgrade is approaching - and coincidently the 5Div price in the UK (at least) is becoming very reasonable.
As I ponder whether to retire the 5D now or wait a while, my question to open out to the forum is whether to await the 5Dv (assuming it ever comes) or just get the 5Div sooner. Most of all, away from 'wish-listing', I'm wondering what a 5Dv could achieve over the 5Div simply by adopting the latest digic processor as against the 6+ in the 5Div, and adopting other existent tech (of Canon's). [I'm a photog rather than an engineer, so interested in the take of those more technically minded than me].
For background, money is not really an object, my photography is rarely time critical (so I don't HAVE to have a back-up, such as a wedding photog might desire) - I'm more curious about what a 5Dv could easily have as against 5Div, simply using existing/or coming tech.
I'm not looking for a "wish list" for a 5Dv , that thread already exists here: https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?threads/5d-mark-v-wish-list.35229/
Also, for the avoidance of doubt, I'm not eliciting responses to whether a 5Dv will ever come - you can find this here if interested : https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?threads/5d5.36756/
So: what do you think a 5Dv could have over the 5Div, and would you wait or buy 5Div now? (I'm not yet taken with mirrorless, before that is suggested - too many threads on that already! )
Thanks. Stoical.
