A Canon DSLR First Coming to EOS 5D Mark IV [CR2]

[kalieaire]

The ability to lock the mirror up and put a short focal length lens like an EF-M lens inside?

 

[phigment]

Internal RAW video with global shutter

Or maybe it is only something like focus peaking lol


Sooner or later they should start adding electronic shutter as well, it would be useful even with its current limitations (although that's something where the OVF is just useless, but the Live View AF is quite decent now)

I'll second the global shutter for video!

Quad-pixel-AF CMOS
h.265 codec
6K at 25/30p
16-bit RAW

 

[George D.]

A Riddle!
"DSLR first"
"isn't major"
"a lot of shooters would be happy to have"

This could be:
A white body (to match white lenses, a lot of shooters have) ???
Some minor feature from the Powershot line (e.g. Smartphone connectivity thing)

How about a new High Dynamic Range, ISO Invariant, 48 pixel Sony-type sensor!! Nah, it would go against their "glacial innovation pace" philosophy!

Minor typo above, I'm presuming... :

- A

Sorry, I don't see any typo (got an A in Copy Editing/Proofreading from NYU!) ;-)

HOW many pixels?

 

[MARKOE PHOTOE]

How about a cup holder? ;D Seriously, articulating LCD screen is always on my list for waist level shooting. I do this now with a Super HD field monitor but it's another piece of gear to carry, charge and maintain.

There was talk before the 7DII came out that there would be an EVF overlay on the optical viewfinder so it could be VF histogram.

That actually would be pretty nice for some applications and reasonably easy to implement. Tiny LCD OLED on one facet of the prism basically like a heads-up display or eyepiece for military helicopter pilots.

Eye tracking for AF point selection? That would be pretty sweet too.

OK, and one more small thing; an integral arca-swiss lens plate built onto the bottom edge and side.

 

[ritholtz]

It is going to be epic camera with so much pent up demand, 1dx2 video and DR. Then raw video from ML soon.

 

[infared]

K-Cup compatibility!

Hey..this isn't a Rebel...I am thinking straight, real, Italian espresso?...drip.

 

[johnhenry]

Maybe 4k Video

I get sort of tired of all these dribbles of info and features.


Its like they want to get us to buy another dSLR before they make up their minds

 

[FramerMCB]

A built-in intervalometer for time-lapse possibly. I can't recall any of the Canon DSLR having this feature.

I believe the 80D has this.

OK, and one more small thing; an integral arca-swiss lens plate built onto the bottom edge and side.

I have an Arca slot, just on the bottom, of the Olympus Grip, for my PEN-F. What a fantastic, easy thing to do.
Just great...no need for a plate....it is just there! ;D
I use it constantly...and it just makes your photography more fluid. Less fiddling!

 

[JMZawodny]

An intervalometer with the built-in ability to turn the image sequence into a time lapse video.

I do like the idea of an arca-swiss plate integrated into the body though.

How about a new High Dynamic Range, ISO Invariant, 48 ____pixel Sony-type sensor!! Nah, it would go against their "glacial innovation pace" philosophy!

Dose NYU stood for Nincompoopy Yokelish University? Do they hand out 'A' grades like candykorn on Haloweeen?

I left a little hint for you up there.

 

[KeithBreazeal]

Electronic zoom
Optical/electronic viewfinder
Swappable body bayonet mount
Removable LCD screen
Record live audio stream while shooting stills.(beats taking notes)
Dual auto-focus comparator with motion prediction
programmable non-linear response curve for the imaging chip
Dual ISO alternating fields for video
Eye focus detection that nails the iris/pupil
iPhone mode
Perfection panorama mode

 

[marvinhello]

Electronic image stablisation in video mode

 

[steepjay]

Retractable strap!

 

[ScottyP]

Auto AFMA and lighted buttons as Ashanford suggested would be great. Displaying the DOF calculation in the eyepiece would be nice too.

 

[Machaon]

Hmm...focus peaking/zebra stripes type stuff, maybe?

Or does the 1D-C already have that?

Yeh, the fact they leak it as a "DSLR first" feature does suggest that it is something being imported from MILC or medium format.

Maybe something like Hasselblad TrueFocus feature, which allows subject focus & recomposition?

Or maybe sensor plane contrast-detect focussing and free focal point selection in Live View?
