Something wrong with doing my own tests on my own equipment?

No, but there is with making blanket statements and generalisations based off your testing of one body. The point of the link was to illustrate the differences in cameras of the same model.

Besides, if you use Canon flashes on Canon cameras as intended by Canon then you can't fool the sync. Start to introduce off brand triggers or cables, or pin taping work arounds, and the world becomes more interesting, use off brand flashes, strobes et al and you start to get a broad feature set that has limitations in different areas.

But the world of stills illumination is currently in a quickly expanding phase, akin to the early days of digital cameras, with a plethora of interesting and feature rich products of different qualities rolling out almost daily.

Too often we lose sight of the fact that, by definition, photography is about capturing light, if we have the ability to take control of that light then we grow exponentially as photographers. More often than not the image is not about lens speed, sensor size, MP's or AF, it is about the light.

Are you people using original Canon flashes and not the cheapest ettl cables (if any)? I'm not promoting original Canon equipment, but a shutter shadow at max. x-sync should *definitely* not be to be expected as these values obviously are rather conservative in the first place esp. on 6d. I for one never, ever experienced this, and I'm using flash all the time (though often at hss for motion fill flash).

With external flashes (on 5Dc) I had to go down to 1/160th otherwise I could see black border on one side. They were released with radio transmitter, frankly I haven't tested it on cable - maybe there would be a difference.

And yet, that's exactly what I did.
Start to introduce off brand triggers or cables, or pin taping work arounds,

Which is exactly how I did it.

Well Canonwatch.com now has another new CW3 rated rumor showing this is a Sony Sensor. That equal to a CR2 here. So 50/50. Looks like there is still life to this possibility.

I am of the opinion it is a Sony sensor.

Canon's big markets are wedding, media, sports, etc which are mostly fine with sensors in the low to mid-20 MPs - and I suspect their R&D to increase IQ, sensitivity, DR, speed, noise, is on squarely on those sizes. We'll see those R&D results in the 5D4 and next gen 1DX.

Given this is built on an existing and proven 5D3 body, the 5DS seems to be a low-effort implementation project to stuff the lastest Sony sensor into the shell; write some ne6w firmware; and get something out to to a more limited studio and landscape market. Just an opportunity for them; maybe as part of a patent trade previously suggested.

I could be pleasantly wrong; this could be a Canon sensor; but other than measuring Canons state of R&D and patents, what difference does the sensor label make it so long as it provides us great results.

Should know for certain soon!

How is this thread tracking in terms of all time popularity?
Just wait until sample RAW files show up and it only has 10 stops of DR. It will hit 1000 pages. :)

Very true. ;D

more:

If it arrives with 6 stops it will hit 38 pages (since even fanboys will be sickened a that point and everyone gives up and goes Nikon/Sony hah).

If it arrives with 10 stops it goes to 1000 pages. ;D

If it arrives with 14 stops it goes to 38 pages (everyone is happy, a few quick yays from everyone and the thread ends).

If it arrives with 16+ stops it goes to 48-100 pages (since the usual suspects (Keith Reeder, Neuro, etc.) now do a 180 and brag about how Canon is the king and Nikon and Sony are useless because they have such poor DR and how everyone knows that DR is the one and only aspect to a camera that matters and that, of course, at least 75% of all shots taken require a camera with extremely high DR and go on and on about it).

Even if some people aren't interested in this particular type of camera and it turns out to be a current DR Sony sensor, it's always a good sign to see movement in the sensor area that maybe the next cams which are more customised for their genre might end up with something different too.

This is could be just a very expensive "show-off" camera to show they can do it.

More realistically what are the chances of the rumoured 24.2Mp 750D? I think highly unlikely as it would crash the sales of the 70D. So overall (maybe) not so much progress.

FHD video, UHS-I, and UDMA7 slots?

I was hoping for dual UHS-I (or even -II) slots, and be done with the pins.

At least because of the dual Digic it should write full speed on the SD card. On the current 5D mkiii this speed is crippled down to hook it up to the internal USB port.

This much dynamic range will do, ta
