Interesting pricing but again I ask myself why so many people buy such products on first day, without any reviews, tests etc.
Canon might be boring to some but reliability is their strength when it comes to anything in this range. The 90D will do the job, and do it well.Interesting pricing but again I ask myself why so many people buy such products on first day, without any reviews, tests etc.
For me I’ll pre-order on the assumption it’s a 4K 80D then I’ll get it as soon as possible. If for some reason it’s discovered in reviews that it’s missing important colours or only films in black and white then I’ll cancel.

It’s usually a little less. I’m hoping £999 as the 80D body was but in the current climate probably more £1099Hmmm..
That'll be 2000 quid in the UK then no doubt.
I'll wait for the grey market at £999
I am pretty close to you in my regard to the 5DS/R! The 90D fits a niche - it will have the resolution of a 5DS plus 1.3xTC, with smaller file size and bigger buffer, but it will lack the FF capabilities and superb construction of the 5DS. The 5DS at these prices is a real bargain.Not sure if I'd pick up either when a gray market 5Ds is $1,230 on eBay.
Stockholm syndrome...Interesting pricing but again I ask myself why so many people buy such products on first day, without any reviews, tests etc.
Except this is not exactly top end... the 7d Mk II is top end, both in price and features. This is a nice camera for many perhaps, but short of a top end camera. The real top end crop, the APS-H line, they nuked when they released the 1dX. The APS-C top has been the 7d line, which may not persist... but I hope it does...So for $1199 you get a choice between a top end Crop body or an entry level Full frame.
I like it!!!
This. And only this.if its got more reliable AF than the 7DII then a bargain, but if it’s still 80D class AF, a poor subsitute for the 7DII.
What Canon needs is some brilliant marketing now. Sell the sizzle of this or whatever camera they choose. I remember the AE-1 commercials they were absolutely brilliant and Canon could not produce them fast enough. Yes, there were not cell phones then. That is why some brilliant thinking needs to occur to bring the cell phone crowd over. My step daughter was totally happy with her cell phone for years but could not figure out why her photos sucked compared to mine in many ways. I got her a camera and a lens. She is now on her 2nd camera and has a full range of lenses. She even convinced her sister to start using a "Real" camera and now both seldom use the cell phone except for that impromptu snap.
This. And only this.
I'm not hopeful, fewer cross-points than the 7Dii, single processor (not that this plays into it, just showing how it's an actual downgrade from the 7Dii in a couple areas). I'm going to wait for some real world tests to come out.if its got more reliable AF than the 7DII then a bargain, but if it’s still 80D class AF, a poor subsitute for the 7DII.
First of all, cancelling a pre-order is not a big deal.Interesting pricing but again I ask myself why so many people buy such products on first day, without any reviews, tests etc.
Understood.Note: Costco is an authorized Canon dealer.
I prefer to review items myself. I am my own best judge of what works for me and what doesn't.Interesting pricing but again I ask myself why so many people buy such products on first day, without any reviews, tests etc.
A quibble but one worth mentioning: single or dual processor doesn't necessarily tell you the relative processing power. The 7D2 was dual digic 6 while the 90D is digic 8. Even with the same processor, one model might be clocked higher than the other. The only time this would be relevant is when comparing two cameras released close together.Single-processor.
It won't be. High MP = high noise is a myth.Higher MP count so the noise is almost certainly going to be worse than the 7Dii.
Of course. My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek after the similar comment about the 6D2. Naturally the 90D has its advantages and roles, and for those unwilling to consider gray market there's also a huge price difference.I am pretty close to you in my regard to the 5DS/R! The 90D fits a niche - it will have the resolution of a 5DS plus 1.3xTC, with smaller file size and bigger buffer, but it will lack the FF capabilities and superb construction of the 5DS.

I only now discovered that the 5DS/R offers in-camera crop. But does it increase the frame rate?I am pretty close to you in my regard to the 5DS/R!
