Disappoinments! Disappoinments!! Disappoinments!!! as usual from the leader in digital imaging solutions

SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card UHS-I compatible WTF Canon?
4K UHD* at 24 frames per second
* Shooting at 23.98p is possible. Shooting takes place by cropping pixels from the center of the sensor. Contrast detection AF is used.

high-speed 120p** mode is possible in HD
** AF is fixed. Playback is 1/4 slow motion playback (29.97p).
I really don't know when these knuckleheads will catch up with the competition

Wow, no DPAF in 4K. Never mind, no longer interested. Maybe next time, Canon.

Wow, is this true?

Yep

I really should not be surprised, but I am. Why would a company make a product great by pairing their most powerful feature- DPAF- with a new feature- 4K (okay, new to Canon cameras)- that so many people wanted. They ALMOST had my money.

Because that would make it much too attractive for people ;D

The crop was kinda expected (although I think it comes out to ~ 2.5 FF equiv which is fairly heavy) but the lack of dpaf means it doesn't really have any standout video feature as a canon camera.

For the further cropping in 4K video, does it mean that it will use a small part of the censor but focal length remains the same as APS-C?

The sensor's resolution is 6000x4000 (=24mp). 4k is 3840x2160.

1.6 crop factor, if you applied it proportionately to the sensor would give you 3750x2500, but of course, the aspect ratio is different. So all 1.6 crop means is that Canon is taking the center 3840 pixels horizontally and the center 2160 pixels vertically when recording video.

The lens hasn't changed, so the focal length remains the same as APSC for the purposes of perspective. But for field of view, because you're only getting the center 1.6 out of APSC, you'll need a wider angle lens to capture the same frame.
