Next time, please don't use the word "hybrid" on this forum. Call it normally like Canon does, liveview w/ DPAF, but w/ PDAF.

But these items have been know for awhile and Canon already announced the D6 competitor anyways.
More excited to see what Canon tells us about R5 this week. No leaks via Nokishita tell me it won’t be a full announcement like the RF 24-105 and new Rebel will be.
I don't think Canon and Nikon made a deal with the devil to defeat physics. For example, Canon's claim about the 1 stop improvement in the 1DX III vs the 1DX II seems to come down mostly to clever processesing and will likely be less significant if RAW files are edited on a PC:
"• New 20.1MP, Canon CMOS sensor
As mentioned above, new sensor architecture attacks high-ISO noise at the pixel level, meaning less noise before brightness signals ever reach the primary processor.
• New DIGIC X processor
Faster processing, handling even more noise-reduction calculations and algorithms for every still image processed in-camera…this applies to video, as well. The advanced noise reduction processing at the sensor is especially effective at the default ISO range, which again extends to ISO 102,400."
Exactly. I think a lot of people here are interested in news from across the photographic landscape.Its good to hear about what the industry is doing. Being here I obviously have my favourite but I personally enjoy all things photography regardless of brand. I’m currently extremely happy being a Sony and Canon user and was also a happy Nikon user too (through work) 10 years ago.
Yes, agree. Too little details from R5. Appears to become a development announcement maybe with some teaser photo from a mockup.
Isn't Nikon really slow in the mirrorless market?! It seems to me.... slow releases etc.

Quote from the white paper page 42.
Dynamic range at higher ISOs can still be enhanced though, I'm curious what we'll see there from both Canon and Nikon.
I joined CR to find out when the 7DII would be released and waited expectantly for 2 years. You missed out as it was a great camera for its time and still not bad today. I recall you bought a used 1DIV instead.Can't you just sense the pent up ... whatever it is that we collectively are exhibiting! It reminds me of when I was awaiting the final details of the 7D2 to almost certainly purchase it - but I didn't, and am not sorry (not knocking that camera, though).

BSI doesnt offer much improvement to DSLR's, especially when they are equipped with sensors with large photosites.Yeah, huge question mark: Did Canon catch up on sensor technology technology? While they might have large improvement, I doubt they can catch up without BSI.
Nothing at all to make me regret dropping Nikon for Canon late last year...
Here you go.D6 is launched. Translation is horrible here, so I'd wait for the English somewhere else:
- A
Key specifications for the Nikon D6
* 20.8 megapixel full frame sensor
* ISO 100-102400, expandable to 3.2 million
* 14 fps with full AE/AF, 10.5 FPS with silent shutter in live view
* 105-point AF system, -4.5 EV minimum for center point
* Dual CFexpress
* 4Kp30 video
* Built-in Ethernet, Wifi, GPS
* MSRP $6,499, release in April 2020
At least one the spec sheet, it looks like Canon put out a stronger camera, with higher fps (especially in Live View) and much better video capabilities for the same price.
D6 is launched.
