Exactly. It’s like HTP.In one of Rudy Winston's videos he talked about DLO then said it affected RAW only but baked the DLO settings into the raw where they will be read

Launching a €2500 mirrorless cameras with a derivative of the 5DIV's sensor, which is the cause of most of the R's controversial specifications, doesn't make me feel that they've got much better in store. This is the second time Canon seems to display a difficulty to manufacture FF sensors with a certain degree of performances for a given manufacturing cost (6DII).
It took Sony several years of iterative developments, most often starting with smaller sensor sizes, to go from the readout speed of Canon's current sensors, to where they're at now (A7III, A9, XT3 sensor, etc.). I don't think that we'll see Canon pulling a miracle.
A realistic expectation for the short term (2019, maybe even 2020) is that we may see either a mirrorless 5DS(R) with DPAF, with very slooooow fps in continuous drive with AF, and no 4K (but no pixel stripping, yeah !), and / or a camera matching the A7III's sensor readout speed, at a minimum of $4000 (of course with a completely different - and much better in most ways - body design). Anything else and you're likely to be disappointed. Stuff like the A9 or even the XT3 sensor are years away.
I would expect quite a few video-centric cameras as well, and sooner rather than later.
So DPAF is great for sports! If you’re Tony Northrup...My 5DIV’s track focus on peoples’ faces while they walk swiftly. At weddings. 95+% of photos I Shoot this way with the 5DIV are in perfect focus. It’s so consistent.
I can see the in-VF histogram, etc., being a big deal. But removing a couple stops of vignetting? Doesn’t seem impactful, unless the problem is severely magnified by the VF being compressed to 8-bit, but I doubt that’s the case.
Canon and Sony approached autofocus from two completely different points of view. It will take Canon's route longer to pay off, but it is the future.
Yes, all that is interesting and potentially feasible. But all of that is implied...none of that explains how, “Pulling the vignetting out from F/1.2 or F/2 lenses live in the EVF is a big deal.” Probably you chose not to address that because you realize that it’s not really a big deal at all.It's more along the lines of, you can see the full completed photo live. The Digic 8 processor renders out a live image for you to look through and compose. This opens the door to other creative additions, like live HDR viewing, live double exposure composing (I don't mean just a gimmicky overlay), and live image preset view. It has the ability to expand functionality going forward while also removing one more step from your workflow. This feature could have huge implications in a studio setting where a client sees a near complete and color adjusted image live on a tethered display all done on the camera.
I'm wondering if 8K may or may not produce a convergence of technologies, as we'll need both for video and photo a lot of pixels, quickly read.

Yeah I was thinking about that as well. When Canon announced the EOS R I wasn't initially put off about the single card slot fiasco, because I believed at the time that EOS R was Canon's entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera. I assumed that EOS R was simply the 6D standard (single card slot as well) for Canon's mirrorless push into the market, and a very promising offering considering the higher MP count and AF capabilities over the Sony A7 III and Nikon Z6.
But if Canon execs are reaffirming the DSLR product positioning for mirrorless by saying the EOS R is a 5D-series equivalent, and that we can expect a lower-end (6D-series) and higher-end (5DS(R)/1D X-series) in the future, then that's a serious setback for event and wedding photographers considering going into the system. Those genres of photography where tethering and wireless transfer backup isn't a feasible option has forced photographers to embrace redundant card slot capabilities. Apparently, only Sony and Fujifilm are the mirrorless system manufacturers who understand the needs of that market - and it's not a small market either.
I see a 6D EOS R equivalent camera with a single card slot as a forgivable exclusion, even though Sony is including card redundancy in their entry-level mirrorless system. I cannot see the exclusion of dual card slots as being forgivable for a 5D level camera - that just defies all forms of logic in my opinion. .
Well, this is Google ?Translate, which is terrible translating grammar, among other things.This really seems out of place to me. The portion where they mention that the EOS R is a 5D IV level camera doesn't fit in my mind. The 5D IV seems like the superior camera to me, and there's a considerable price differential between then. The EOS R seems more like a ramped up 6D II in my mind. Maybe that's splitting hairs to be fair.
I like that they're planning on building higher and lower level models, and the fact that they specifically mention high resolution bodies is encouraging for a 5D SR equivalent body. But if the EOS R is a 5D IV level camera, will the 5DSR equivalent just be an EOS R with a different sensor? I guess we'll find out.
The thing I am constantly reminding people about is that 4K is overkill 99% of hobby shooters. It requires much larger file storage, faster computing, faster editing, and time demands to render. It's a royal pain in my ass when most of the content viewed on the web or tv is still in 1080p. Even to get the advantages of full 4K 10bit output, you need an external recording device with SSD blades. That setup can easily cost more than the camera.
I don't follow your logic on it being a 'serious setback'. Whether Canon are calling this an equivalent to their 5DIV (are they?) then that still does not say they will not have dual card slots in the higher model.
And Panasonic, and Olympus....
It would be interesting to find out what feedback Canon/Nikon have received for them to omit dual cards - Thom Hogan wrote that the obsession with dual-card is very much a Western Europe/US thing and it is nowhere near the same deal in Asia. My guess is that they intend the EOS R to be a second camera rather than a pro's main camera.
That is because phones have a connectivity that no (repeat NO) camera manufacture has built in yet - which suggests there are serious technical issues to overcome. So being 'disturbed' about something that apparently is not possible seems rather....over-sensitive to me.
So you have a choice - quality photos with single back-up or phone with 5 back-ups. Care to photograph a wedding with a phone and tell the bride 'don;t worry, I have got 5 copies' ?
FYI - you have named 4 levels of redundancy, not 5
gdhWhat is the meaning of the F 2.8L text? The line immediately below my screenshot translates to 'scheduled release.'

Canon does not do roadmaps.

Well, it's certainly a 5DIV level of camera concerning video capability, plus a fully articulating screen.
