they removed mic input as well
No, they kept the Mic input but removed the headphone output.
I did reply to Canon Support and told them I thought they were making a mistake with moving the uncompressed HDMI output forward into newer bodies in the 5D line. They won't listen, but the thing is, I've shot with just about every Canon DSLR they've made and the features provided in the 5Ds and sr is outstanding. They took the features of the 5DM3 (minus the uncompressed HDMI apparently), added most of the new features that debuted in the 7DM2, and then added some additional features that make it a pretty complete package and a joy to shoot with. Unless I need a higher frame rate, the 5Ds is now my "go to" camera.
I"m going with the assumption that the coming 5D4, will retain these capabilities and all...in that it will be the more video ready camera of the "5D" line....they maybe are targeting those photogs that "don't need video" with the 5DS line....and cater more to the video for the 5D4 ones.
At least that's what I would be guessing.
I'm not in a rush for anything, I love my 5D3....soon to try out Magic Lantern for RAW video out of it once I finish some projects currently on my plate...
But I'll see what the 5D4 looks like.
ON the other hand, my next video camera, may be the Black Magic URSE Mini....takes EF lenses, RAW video, I think it has about 12 steps of dynamic range..etc. Full set up with the 4.6K sensor in the $5K range fully loaded...I may get that for video, and use my 5D3 as second video camera, and full time stills camera.
Best of all worlds with that setup, IMHO.
