You cannot realistically expect that Canon will deliver a camera named xxD and priced at around USD 1400.00 to be as good an action camera as a camera from the xD-series that had a higher introduction price of around USD1700,00 in 2014?
Never fear. After the 90D comes out, I’m sure you can find some ‘reviews’ that trash it thoroughly. I’d recommend starting with DPR to provide you with some good confirmation bias.
Well the only metric DPR will not use for obvious reasons is Canon's success!I've seriously wondered what metric DPR would push if Canon were to introduce a generation of sensors with higher DR than Sony. We have to admit that this new Canon quad-pixel architecture delivers 20 stops DR vs Sony's 15, but have you seen the DxO color depth score? Sony is still 0.2 bits ahead at base ISO. We're not sure you're going to want a Canon with poor color bit depth like that.
Bleh. If they can mass market a FF camera at US $1300 (EOS RP) they sure as hell can make a decent 7D Mark III.
I'll stick with my 7DM2 for as long as I can.
This forum has documented lots of you guys are still using the original 7D every day, either for work or pleasure. My anecdotal experience confirms this.
Stepping down to a 90D does not seem like a wise choice.
Is this Canon's big August announcement? What happened to "reclaiming the megapixel crown" and "getting into the spec wars"?
I doubt it, i bet it would be the M5 mark llI would very suspicious of any camera created "immediately".
On the other hand, it would not surprise me if M6 II were the mirrorless equivalent of 90D.
Yes the joystick is very important. I have forgotten to mention it. Rumors have mentioned 10fps so I took it for granted.The main spec I'm looking forward for the 90d is the FPS number, because if 10 FPS or above are confirmed, we can assume 3 things :
- that it will have a nice and fast AF, probably as fast as 7d2
- the return of the joystick in a xxD body
- AF sensitivity set ups
That would make sense
If lower than 10, then complete different story... Can't wait to know the exact FPS number.
Just a wild idea, but - do you think it is possible Canon would merge M5 and M6 lines? Design wise M6 feels being more a "rangefinder" camera and they could just provide it with a pop-up EVF?
Its hard to see a direction with Canon's lineup strategy, it just seems so disjointed. Hopefully this isn't very accurate.
that was my hope as well - capable M5 in M6 form factor, but with built-in pop-up EVF. Does not look like it though. CR rumor says "EVF kit available" - I take this to mean an external, optional EVF. EVF-DC1 or 2 ... or a new one has to be purchased ... maybe with higher res and/or (even) less lag.
Do please let us know when the EOS M line starts outselling the ‘rebel kiss Joey’ line, will you? That hasn’t happened yet, even in Japan where MILCs are most popular. But keep on saying it, as you’ve been doing for years now. Someday maybe you’ll be right!it is very clear to see. Moving towards 2 mirrorfree product lines: EOS M (APS-C) and EOS R (FF). During transition a few breadcrumbs towards dying DSLR lines. A "rebel kiss Joey" here, a 90D there, a 1Dx III to cap it off and call it a day.
