Canon make hundreds of billions of dollars a year, they should be giving putting these specs in a rebel camera not a camera this level.

My microwave from 10 years ago had these specs, get with the times Canon!

Just preparing everyone for the other brand fanboys :p seriously though it looks amazing and can’t wait to see what they can do with the 1Dx mirrorless version!

But but but - does it have IBIS? :) Well, the announcement feels almost unreal. To good for what we are used to from the Canon. Now I am scratching my head, as I was 100% sure we will skip the 5DV and go for the next R equivalent instead. Wonder which technologies find its way from the 1D X III down to 5DV ....

I suspect it does indeed have some MPs. Just unlikely to be more than the previous model's MPs if they studiously avoid the subject in the release. Remember, when the 1dx2 went to Mark II, they made a super big deal about the 2 extra megapixels.

And that rebel should be in a kit for less than 350 bucks

Wait 20fps with mechanical shutter and tracking? That is mad!

In Live View mode though. 16fps over the viewfinder.

But what struck me the most is the “new exciting feature” we we were rumoured by the CRG:

The camera will also offer a new additional control for selecting AF points, built into the AF-ON button, allowing photographers to change AF points on-the-fly for the best composition – further helping to simplify their work.

AF Joystick built in AF-ON button? Wow. So in back button focusing mode one can move AF points around and then engage AF system in one go. Nice.
