You mentioned video "quality". So now you are knowledgeable on quality, too. Great. Which quality you are referring to?I don't believe you're up to date on the video quality achievable on mirrorless (and some DSLR) cameras.
Talking about sensor performance on these current generation full frame bodies seems a little like the car magazines talking about which sub-4-second 0-60 supercar is faster. Like what's the difference really between 3.74 and 3.79 seconds 0-60? Driver skill will be a much bigger factor, but either way they're both fast as blazes! Same with these sensors. I have no wants with the 5DIV sensor-wise. 30 MP is insane resolution for me, having been using DSLR's since they were 4 MP. I have no desire for more. Same with dynamic range, etc. High ISO performance with these things is insane, you can pull shadows up like madness creating images in conditions we could only dream of image years ago. All this measure-bating is silly. Is the Sony sensor technically better on paper? A lot of people say so, so I who am I to argue? But more importantly who cares? If you were racing down the track in a Koenigsegg CCR which you be upset that it wasn't as fast as a Bugatti Chiron? (emphasis added)
I'll point out that similar comments were made about the EOS M at launch – late to the party and underdressed, so to speak. Nevertheless, the original M was a major domestic success for Canon (#2 in sales at full price, behind only a 2-gen old, deeply discounted Sony NEX), and the M line went on to be globally successful.
I also think the RF / EF-M incompatiblity is an issue. But we should keep in mind that Canon has actual data that informed their decision, e.g. the fraction of APS-C DSLR users who bought EF lenses prior to buying a FF DSLR, etc., and so from their perspective it may have been a non-issue.
I stated, "...domestic success for Canon." Canon is a Japanese company. What needs to be defined?You really would have to define "domestic".
Not necessarily. Even the RED Super35 4-perf shoots with a sensor size (24.89 x 18.66mm) which is only a tad larger than the area that EOS R reads for 4K and definitely smaller than the FF (36x24mm).Those expensive video lenses all can only cover the Super35 sensor size not the FF. I have not heard any pro video producer saying that he/she cannot get a wide enough shot because his/her camera does not have or cannot read FF sensor!! I have never seen pro video producers operate the camera from the front, either.
I'm not sure that I'd have picked these two as "innovative" features.
- regarding the shutter : that will only be of value for a few years until mechanical shutters disappear altogether from our cameras (thanks to fast enough electronic shutters). So Canon will have, just like anyone else, to find ways to make the sensor's coverglass resistant to damage at some point. .
Totally agree, CANON isn't even on par with the current DLSR market, why would we expect them to all of a sudden stand up and be noticed in the mirrorless market.
Fun fact: if canon were to ever feel the need to get rid of the shutters for actually taking the photo, they could still just as easily, if not more so, implement a shutter like guard within the camera that only works when the lens is off. Not sure why you think this feature has to be tied directly to it being the shutter. Especially if they believe it is the best way to keep it safe.

It may be a logical way to minimize repairs but as a practical matter, I absolutely hate it. The shutter is exposed and so close to the lens mount that there is no protection to it from dust. The whole thing is a giant magnet for everything out there, lens swaps become the last thing on Earth I want to do when out in nature, especially somewhere with sand.
You mentioned video "quality". So now you are knowledgeable on quality, too. Great. Which quality you are referring to?
From both objective quality (i.e. conformance to requirements, etc.) and subjective quality (i.e. fitness for use, etc.) perspectives:
Every video recorded by a ML/DSLR is either great or crap, as evaluated by spec sheets warriors.
But in reality, every video recorded by any ML/DSLR is crap!!
There was speculation that the M would have bombed in the US and that is why it was released other places but not here.
The best move Canon made was to fire sale the original M at the end of sales cycle. It brought many reluctant buyers to the platform.
It wasn't the greatest release, but Canon did turn it around later.
Funny how some people think a statement of relevant facts constitutes a diversion.
Just saying yes Canon delivers products with features and performance that the majority of buyers find desirable is not possible for some people.
"I wish Sony had an extensive, more affordable lens lineup, a more intuitive user interface and better weather sealing,"...not possible to say for some.
Or at least be open minded that their personal desires may not represent those of the majority. Nope…they need to continually harp on base ISO DR and 4K video specifications. It is a habitual reflex for some.
Some people don´t see all the shortcomings in Canon cameras but sure some other people here won´t acknowledge benefits either (some may do with grinding teeth).
And it´s always the same arguments from both sides...for 6, maybe 7 years. They all claim they are not trolls ... LOL
you don´t create multiple new accounts or post many similar threads on the same topic on a GEAR forum when you are not a TROLL.
when the shoe fits..... exactly one of the persons i was talking about.
this is about canon and i am a canon user ... but hey... mentioning sony is a reflex from you guys.
and when they have no arguments for their idiocy they claim others trolls.
my points are valid there is no need for you to spend another 2 minutes of your life defending canon.
I guess you're trying the shoe on for size.and when they have no arguments for their idiocy
I guess you're trying the shoe on for size.
Try not to step in something foul then put your foot in your mouth (again).
