Wow. Had never seen anything remotely like this coming when it comes to iso range. The rest sounds somewhat promising but it would be a surefire deal killer for me... It seems too crazy to be true. :'(

Does this mean H-range will tick in already @ >6.400 iso or is it an indication that up to iso 6400 its going to be great and acceptable up to maybe 12.800?? Grasping for a straw here.

the "gold lettering" shown on the photo at http://digicame-info.com/2015/01/eos-5ds-eos-5ds-r.html also looks somewhat strange to me. But Maybe it is reserved for the japanese/asian version of the 5Ds. :-)

Native ISO range of 100-6400 (only) also sounds "weird".

But - it is a rumor, no announcement. ;D

100-6400 should be no problem if the sensor is "ISO-less" - just shoot it at whatever you like and push the cr@p out of the file in post, right? :o

But 5fps sounds good for something like this. I wonder 2 things: what the RAW buffer is like, and if it goes any faster/longer in either of the crop modes. 1.3 = ~30Mp and 1.6 = ~19.8Mp.

Either way it sounds like a worthwhile thing but I can't see myself upgrading from the 5DIII.

It's supposed to be a medium format killer, don't you think? In that case ISO6400 is plenty. Still seems as an unlikely upper limit coming from Canon, but maybe they want to sell the lower megapixel cameras for high ISO work.

This is what I expected as a minimum but it is good news in more than one way. I expect it can do 8 fps @ 30 mpix and 10 fps @ 19.8 mpix. If so that would be a serious fps upgrade from the relatively slow 5DIII into 7DII fast shooting territory - and still with somewhat more mpix than the 5DIII.

Overall the 1.3 and 1.6 crop modes will add a lot of flexibility to the camera by offering real fast shutter speeds. I could easily see myself often go for a compromise 8 fps @ 30 mpix for action shots.

For 8-10 fps, they'd have to give it a 1-series type mirror/shutter assembly. I think it's more likely the crop modes will get you fewer MP...and that's it.

Hope not. That would make it more a marketing gimmick than a truly useful feature. Nikon 810 does 7 fps in crop mode. We'll see.
