As a still shooter, after watching the live discussion, I find the following new features interesting:
1) focusing points more spread out vertically and horizontally than any previously released Canon, making rule of third focusing possible. (No need to focus and recompose)
2) extracts shadow details better than any Canon we have seen (other than 1DXmk2) i.e. better dynamic range
(yes, DXOmark's number for 1DXmk2 means something
)
3) looks like dual pixel raw can give "subtle" image improvements, either in focusing or in bokeh shifting.
4) touch screen focusing in video recording is nice but it is not new.
5) better and faster noise reduction engine
6) face-detection seems to help set exposure but it is not new
7) focusing seems super accurate and sensitive on mk4... (-4EV) sounds better than the excellent mk3
8) AI-level accuracy seems to have improved too.
9) the frame rate button and the "focus area/ISO" button
10) frame-grab from 4k video in camera - real nice... talking about capturing the moment!
11) wifi, love it but not new.
12) HDR video... idea from ML??
For me, just #2 alone is a good enough reason to upgrade! (Tired of Nikon and Sony shooters who
have been able to do this for years lol!)
