- IBIS
- Tilty-flippy touch screen (in a higher than 6D2 feature set)
- A new variant of the 5DS sensor with on-chip ADC (i.e. something resembling the 5DS2 sensor)
- +3 fps over your current FF SLR (presume fully working AF throughout)
- Thin mount design affords enough space to rear-filter EF lenses that are not front-filterable (possibly through the EF adaptor)
- Eye AF
- Ultra-light body design (more than just from mirror removal and body size changes: say, with carbon fiber instead of metal)
- AF points that almost completely fill the viewfinder -- no more central core of AF points that SLR designs typically have
For those with no interest in mirrorless, Is there a killer app that will change your mind? Is anything above so attractive to you that if mirrorless was the only way to get it, you'd do it?
In other words, if a critical thing you are interested in drops in the new FF mirrorless rig, do you bite the bullet and get the FF mirrorless rig, or just wait/hope that particular tech/feature makes it into your preferred SLR slot?
(Again, I'm specifically asking the 'never-mirrorless' camp of FF shooters. If you are interested in getting an FF mirrorless rig, you are not who I am looking for with this, thx.)
- A
IBIS - could be had in a DLSR, not a mirrorless thing per se
Tilty-flippy-touchscreen - see above
New sensor - really?
more FPS - nope
Thin mount design - I assume you mean a short flange distance rather than a thin mount. And no. But an adapter that takes filters is a good idea.
Eye AF - no
Ultra-light body - no. I had the opportunity to check out an olympus M10.2 last weekend. It felt solid and nice. Then the Sony A6300. It felt like a cheap toy. The weight of my current camera body isn't an issue, it's the weight of the lenses that gets to be troublesome.
AF-points filling the viewfinder - no
and do stop talking about "apps" in cameras when talking about features.
The one thing I want in a full frame mirrorless that couldn't be had in a DSLR is a full-on silent mode. An electronic shutter with fast read-out. This could partially be had in a DSLR in live-view mode though.
The one thing a mirrorless can never give me is an optical viewfinder that can be used when the camera is off. I'm growing somewhat tired of WYSIWYG viewfinders really though they are sometimes useful (often enough they're just another distraction though)
