Also:

"JPEG images are captured at the selected crop setting while RAW files are captured full-frame with the crop shown in DPP, allowing for fine adjustment afterwards".

Maybe the reason for max 5fps.

"The sensor’s design also enables the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R to offer the same wide dynamic range as the EOS 5D Mark III" ;D

Looks like someone is hoping to land a job as script writer for a sitcom. :'(


(on a side note, it's odd that they go on about noise reduction at high ISO and improved sensitivity but then declare the ISO range to be 2 stops lower, 1 stop could be due to 2x MP count and viewing at 100% view but what about the other stop?)

Hmm. That would explain it, but wow that would make the cropped mode a near useless joke!
The whole point was to get improved buffer, fps and storage reductions and they blew all three cases! (unless you actually shoot jpg only, in which case the buffer wasn't a problem to begin with and the storage space wasn't quite as bad either).

Such a shame. I've been a Canon shooter for ages, but man I'm starting my move. (owning super tele makes it very tricky though since I got themback when they were 'cheap' so I may have to do it piecemeal and start with a hybrid Canon+Sony mix for now before managing to go to Nikon, speaking of Nikon they should put 100% of engineering into making an EF mount version ;D)

"the design priority of these cameras was to produce the highest possible stills resolution, therefore some video functions were sacrificed. "

The weird thing is that engineer in the other interview claims that they improved the video quality and got rid of the 1080p softness that had plagued prior Canon releases. So what is going on? SOmething is not adding up. And what does stuff like zebras or focusing aids have to do with stills? That is just marketing decisions.

I mean seriously the fact that they somehow thought people wanted crop modes just for JPG, the fact they try to trick users into thinking that you get a free TC out of switching to JPG+crop, the fact that they consider it a brag that they managed to equal 5D3 dynamic range despite adding 50MP.... :'(

I guess this is the final push to get those trying to hope Canon would change, to give up and swap systems.

Ah, I see now. Nice to have it confirmed.

Although it would have been nice to give the user the choice to capture fully-cropped RAW at a smaller filesize TBH.
