It's quite possible that with content-aware autofocus we will soon see a subscription-based model. If you want your autofocus to not lag behind your neighbor's, you will need to pay monthly.
Boy, that would be awful.

We don't know either of those things to be true. (that they aren't updating the capture, or that it is capable of handling it even if they wanted to). Granted, since they didn't announce it, chances are they aren't doing it is a fair statement, if a bit speculative. However, there is no indication that the higher frame rate at the higher resolution is even possible with the tech in the camera (raw data transfer rates or CPU power does not equal the ability to do anything you want).So wait...the amount of feedback that Canon got for giving the EOS R 120fps in 720p and they're not even going to update the EOS R's 120fps to 1080p even though we all know it's capable of doing so?! Ugh...
That's what you read from my post? Interesting. I'm a fan of Canon products - just that you know it...I definitely don' t feel left alone, but I think you have a tendency to negatively oversimplify your opinion of big bad Canon...
There’s no 1:1 4K crop mode on the 90D. It’s 3:2. And the reason the M6II doesn’t have it is almost 100% certainly thermal concerns. According to Gordon Laing the 90D can shoot uncropped 4K about 6*30min without pausing to cool down, but cropped 4K only a bit over 30 min at a time. Meanwhile the M6II with its lesser heat rejection capacity could only record about 45 min of (uncropped) 4K before shutting down.
So, you’re saying that digital displays tun at 60Hz in countries that have 50Hz electrical service? That’s news to me.PAL and NTSC are pretty much obsolete artifacts of the analog era. Digital displays have their own refresh rates (typically 60 Hz) and it's a media player's job to figure out how to best reproduce whatever frame rate it is given.
I believe most notebook displays have no other option than 60Hz.So, you’re saying that digital displays tun at 60Hz in countries that have 50Hz electrical service? That’s news to me.
Look at any Apple store worldwide, standard display frequency and support is always listed at 60Hz.So, you’re saying that digital displays tun at 60Hz in countries that have 50Hz electrical service? That’s news to me.
But we are used to seeing 24fps movies shown on 60fps screens. That is what looks “cinematic“ to us. I watched old movies on what amounted to 30i starting by 1954.Look at any Apple store worldwide, standard display frequency and support is always listed at 60Hz.
Just goes to show how ridiculous the 24p meme is. It is impossible to display true 24 fps unless you are using very specialized equipment or you have an old film projector. Everything else is cadenced to make it fit in 60Hz, 2:2, 3:2 blah blah blah....
This isn't even a semantic pet peeve. This is a dangerous misunderstanding and it is surprising how few people seem to understand this. When a client asks me for 24p, I make sure to note that I will be giving them 23.98p. I mean, I can give them 24p, but they will probably be very unhappy about it. Even the EOS R can shoot actual 24p. I'm assuming this headline actually means 23.98p, but it would be funny if Canon was only supplying 24p like everybody keeps demanding.24p is not 23.98fps. They are two different and incompatible formats, and should not be used interchangeably.
That's interesting. I thought it was tied to the mains. Thanks for the bit of knowledge.Look at any Apple store worldwide, standard display frequency and support is always listed at 60Hz.

OK, I understand why adding color information for NTSC made them slow down 30 fps to 29 point something. The black-and-white sets could just ignore the color signal and it would be compatible. But I have no clue why 23.98 ever was a thing. It’s not like anybody had 24 Hz house current In the TV era as best I’ve heard.This isn't even a semantic pet peeve.

I don't know exactly how it all works. But my TV gives a notification on the bottom of the screen when the frame rate changes. As far as I can tell it matches the frame rate of the content. Sometimes it shows 24, sometimes 25, 30, 60, etc. That's off my Apple TV. I think it's playing back as per content, so the tv can play anything up the rating... But stand to be corrected.OK, I understand why adding color information for NTSC made them slow down 30 fps to 29 point something.

Also my TV says it has a 120 Hz refresh rate, or maybe 240. Are those specs right, or are those really just multiples of the NTSC slowdown rate?
I am getting so tired listening to this endless whine, about no 24p especially in those cases where there is 25 fps. NO one will see the differenceYou cared enough to post a comment. Just saying

Thanks. That makes sense. I assume that my TV just shows each frame 5 times when it is given 24p material from the Blu-Ray/DVD player.The 23.976 is for the pull down to fit into the 59.94 hz / 29.97 NTSC standard. It was the way to fit a 24p movie onto a TV. My guess is that the newer TV's can actually show a 24p movie without any pull down. Heck, maybe TV's will start showing blank frames to mimic an actual movie projector so you can really get that 24p effect that people insist is the best.
In any case, professional audio and video equipment can do both 23.98 and 24p, but way too many people shorten 23.98p to 24p without realizing the complete mess that can occur if sound and the various cameras are all recording at different rates due to a misunderstanding.
I have to agree with you Del Paso. 1. Everyone, including professionals, are consumers. 2. The idea that any consumer only buys what he "needs" is wrong headed. I buy what I "want". Personally, I couldn't care less about video. 3. The idea that "professionals" are out spending big bucks just because they are "professionals" is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Most professionals are eating hand to mouth. What makes them (some of them) unique is that their work is good enough to draw customers. My young cousin makes her living on senior pictures, engagement photos, and family portraits. However, she has to turn a large volume of customers to make a living at it. She shoots with a 70D and only pop-up flash, no "L" glass... but by definition she is a professional. The vast majority of them don't make much money at all. 4. Some "consumers" and "enthusiasts" put many professionals to shame with their work.I definitely don' t feel left alone, but I think you have a tendency to negatively oversimplify your opinion of big bad Canon...
My coworkers from the editing and marketing departments would whine all day to me if I ever deliver a 25fps for them to work with, since this format is a nightmare to blend with any 24fps content without introducing very noticeable frame skipping or time demaning tasks to fix it.I am getting so tired listening to this endless whine, about no 24p especially in those cases where there is 25 fps. NO one will see the difference
