It looks like a 7DII without pop-up flash

5d3 copy/paste

I like how Canon is mostly standardizing their ergonomics.

I does look like it is missing the AF area selection lever from the 7DII.

Indeed 5D3 copy. I'm missing the new focus mode selector on the backside like the 7D2 :'( (for so far I can see on the backside photo)

It's like as if Canon have come to the end of the road on external design.
Amazing their design team haven't come up with some sort of clever new design or alternative design.
An odd extra a button or two seems to be it.
I don't have any great ideas how to improve it and a similar button layout helps me but I would have thought they'd have a team of designers.
They could be vulnerable to be wiped away someday by a radical redesign by some more radical company when sensor improvement reaches a limit where any improvement is only minimal.
The difference between 50MP and 75MP will probably harder to detect than 22MP to 50MP.

Shame not including the new AF selector of the 7D-II. Also it will be best to put some indication of the camera name on the top plate to recognize it in a backpack with another 5D-III: they are identical.

Sooo...what happened with the gold logo? Is the very first picture of the 5Ds fake or is the gold logo only on that model and not R?

Very important question - require answers!

I personally like "no radical changes" as intuitive handling is important for me

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

They have pretty well thought-out ergonomics and their consistency allows us to migrate between bodies with little effort.

Any radical change would likely be a step, fall or plummet backwards. Why do change things for the sake of a gimmick unless there was some huge gain to be had?

Camera companies (except Sony?) are extremely conservative when it comes to changing camera operation and design for a good reason. When you use a camera a lot you start to get reflexes, and you would not be happy if buttons would move around between models. This is especially important to professional photographers that use it as a tool rather than seeing at as the latest trendy electronics thingy.

Makes sense for Canon to sit this sensor in exactly the same 5DIII body ( with the addition of the little Nikon / Pentax style finger groove running up the left hand side as you hold it).

Once the initial flurry of interest and sales is over I don't expect Canon to sell very many of these, in the scheme of things.

Where is the Direct Print button???

 

[yeahyoung]

Where is the "5Ds" logo in golden font?

That improved resolution will sell, especially to many of us who have long wanted better-than-borderline ana log 35 mm film resolution, which is what the 20-25 MP sensors produce. I have 2 5D MkIIIs that will transform themselves into 5Ds Rs or 1 5Ds R and 1 5D MK IV. Canon has done its market research....

+1. For Canon 5D3 users, and there are many out there, having a high MP camera with the same ergonomics makes a lot of sense.

Once the initial flurry of interest and sales is over I don't expect Canon to sell very many of these, in the scheme of things.

Why would you say that? I'm not trying to dive into the SoNikon Vs. Canon debate but wouldn't a higher MP / higher DR photograph be better.

I think that's the 'R' ver R for Red

Looks like a photoshop'd 5D3 to me

 

[djrocks66]

I think the body and ergo's of these Canon cameras are great. I for one wouldn't want them to change that. One of the reasons I love Canon cameras is because they feel so good in the hand and the buttons are in the right places. For me at least. I am hoping that this new sensor will compete with the Sony sensor as far as dynamic range.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it was probably Microsofts philosphy and it allowed Apple to flourish. Now Apple have the same problem with it's user interface. It's hard to improve it without a radical change whereas Android probably has alot more scope to change gradually.
This is evolution I suppose. The dinosaurs were pretty happy they way things were at some point but the small furry animals adapted and modified to the changing world.
Usually we don't spot extinction coming until it's too late.

Just wondering. What camera are you using now? Do you use a 5D III/1Dx? If so, what controls would you like to have improved or different.
