USB charging is still via an optional adaptor and not at all useful feature unlike with competition which can charge via any battery packs. That is a massive disappointment for this camera claiming charging via USB.
603 pages. Instant fail, as far as I'm concerned.
I won't even read this one, but from other recent ones I already know that Canon don't write succinctly, repeat information, and omit information (have they ever documented the flash compensation curve in evaluative metering?).
But more than that, the cameras are doing too much and are unnecessarily complicated to use.
There is no mention of USB-PD support anywhere in mamual. There is a chapter dedicated to optional PD-E1 charger.The R charges from anything that supports USB-PD, including powerbanks and battery packs, are you saying the RP is different?
It does not support 1080 at ~24FPS only at ~30FPS - according to a just released hand-on preview by Jared Polin at Froknowsphoto.com (search it on youtube). He makes it clear that (even though it's a 30 minute video) the video is not a review of the camera but a preview only. He is disappointed by Canon's continued designed-constraints in their video capabilities in their EOS DSLR and SLR (mirrorless) cameras. But his impression of the feel, use, and stills capabilities of the camera are very good. With video capability more designed for the "mom & pop shooters capturing the kiddos" (my paraphrase) rather than as a second ("B", or even "C") body for serious video shooters.Page 252 of the manual says 23.98fps is available when set to NTSC. Hopefully this includes 1080p!

I'm curious as to why you'd think that a good, detailed manual is indicative of a failure. I want detailed information on how to use every function on the camera.
I'm sure that there's a quick-start guide also included, that covers basic operation and features.

If you look st the Performance Data section, page 585 specifically, it only shows that for 4K.Page 252 of the manual says 23.98fps is available when set to NTSC. Hopefully this includes 1080p!

The 1DX MkII allows you to adjust the focal length/shutter speed equation for auto ISO.I haven't found any information about setting the IS effectivity (lens and myself) for Av mode
One example of my problem:
M50 chooses 1/250 sec @200mm with the EF 70-200 IS f/4 before it cranks up the ISO (IS is on) I would prefer that you can set maybe 3 stops IS effectivity to let it go to 1/30 sec before it cranks up ISO. - Or more general 3 stops below 1/<focal length * 1.25> or so.
Does anyone of you know a camera where you have control over such a setting?
