One possible compromise between tilty-flippy and more physical controls would be a display that merely tilts. I would find that quite acceptable; vlog people would probably disagree though!

I'm not sure I'd use the word 'certainly'. Release cycles aren't what they use to be.I meant more in the sense that we're certainly a 1yr+ from a 5DV, and Canon doesnt traditionally use firmware to upgrade major features (like 4k60), so itd be odd for a 90D to be on market for a year before any canon full-frame does it.
Though I guess if a pro R model did it, that'd cover their usual segmentation bases.
With the ongoing decline in sales and the growth of the mirrorless market, one question is how many high end aps-c DSLR models Canon is going to roll out. If there is only going to be one high end aps-c DSLR, my guess is the feature set is going to be pretty robust in terms of AF and ergonomics. Not sure how close it might come to the 7DII in ruggedization. Would Canon ruggedize an aps-c DSLR or a M5II? It doesn't seem likely they would do both. The DSLR seems more likely to me, but I'm not sure why.With all this cry about more focus points, I’d like to bet that most buyers don’t need them, because they’re not shooting “action”. Canon is likely aware of who is buying their products. They seem to be better at this than other companies, which is why they’re on top. Without knowing sales numbers of the 7D vs the 80D, we can only speculate according to what we think is right, but it might not be.
Agree with you. Why fight the inevitable. It's going to be SDXC UHS-II and UHS-III for the low-mid end, and probably XQD/CFExpress at the high/pro video end.Even CFast is a dead format going forwards just like CF.
That was just one suggestion. I made another. But it doesn’t matter. Really, who cares about how they name the product? That’s the least of what we should be talking about. Besides, as we know, and Canon has themselves stated, DSLRs are on borrowed time. How long they’ll be around, we don’t yet know, but I bet that in five years, Canon will have killed the under $1,000 models in most places, and will be dragging the life of others out for longer times.The problem is 100D is already in use (called SL1 in one part of the world). As are 200D and 300D.
APS-C DSLRs are the ones declining the most. That’s happening for everyone. It makes sense to combine models, and to bias them towards the ones Canon is seeing greater life. If that’s the 80D over the 7D, so be it.With the ongoing decline in sales and the growth of the mirrorless market, one question is how many high end aps-c DSLR models Canon is going to roll out.

Well, it’s hard to say. But as DSLR APS-C camera sales for everyone are falling the fastest, we can see why Nikon hasn’t even attempted (so far, anyway) to bother with an APS-C mirrorless model. It’s as though APS-C is dying in every type. Though, canons M series seem to be doing pretty well.With the ongoing decline in sales and the growth of the mirrorless market, one question is how many high end aps-c DSLR models Canon is going to roll out.

It seems like UHS-III is also a DoA format with SDA announcement of SDexpress which moves SD cards to industry standard NVME protocol vs previous SPI protocol. With NVME protocol in use across various platforms it will certainly simplify design of both H/W and S/W.Agree with you. Why fight the inevitable. It's going to be SDXC UHS-II and UHS-III for the low-mid end, and probably XQD/CFExpress at the high/pro video end.
Little point adding anything else nowdays.
There is no real barrier (marketing or otherwise) to provide / introduce 4k60 in a 'lower' tier of Canon DSLR / APS-C mirrorless models either.
they could easily do both...
I dont mind the missing joystick if the D-Pad was set higher on body like Nikon's D7xx00 series of cameras. At current position of D-Pad is literal pain for thumb when using it in landscape orientation and in much better position when using in portrait with battery grip. Also whats bafffeling to me is that Canon has the best touch screen implementation across all camera brands yet they dont implement touch to drag Af points on EOS xxD. Nikon has been doing touch screen af point selection on their D5x00 series of cameras for quite sometime. even that would reduce the need for joystick and reduce pain in thumb from current dpad.actually, it's not that easy. something would have to give. either size or controls or ergonomics. Doesn't matter what Sony has done or Fuji,etc. it's a Canon camera with pretty set ergonomics between the two, and there's a ton of differences, not just a joystick that would have to be accounted for.

I believe that with mirrorless FF cameras getting smaller, people have decided to buy the bigger format. If the sizes aren’t too different, why go to a noticeably inferior sensor?
First, I am surprised that with dual digic 8 you only obtain 10fps.
