I would expect that at some time the Rebels are going to go mirrorless and have an EVF.... An additional crop mode, plus zooming the view on the EVF, makes a lot of sense......PhotographyFirst said:

The 5DS/R crop mode doesn't even save a smaller RAW file. It uses the same card space and therefore same buffer depth as not having the crop. All it does is tell the software afterwards to do the crop as you import. Totally useless feature. Maybe for sports shooters that are shooting jpeg it would be useful if they know they aren't using the full frame and that makes the workflow quicker to already have it cropped to 1.3 or 1.6 but for anyone shooting RAW it is a useless feature.
I don't think the 1DX with its relatively low pixel count will have the crop mode but even if it does it is useless to me.

When the 1DX was announced I was going to get one but then they announced the 5D3 which better suited my needs at the time. Having lived with the 5D3 for a few years, I would "trade up" to a 1DX2 for the focus-point metering and the very likely improvement in noise, tracking and speed of focus. This of course assumes whatever they announce for the 5D4 won't tempt me more.
No concern with clients as photography is just a hobby for me and I'm lucky that I can afford to indulge in my hobbies - you only live once and he who dies with the most toys, wins.

Yes, and non-4k non-RAW camcorder for typical consumer is perfect with 32GB, rarely there's event where 32GB is not enough and those cases you can throw in the cards.
But for 1DX2 level camera, the data transfer requirements are much higher, so even if they had internal non-volatile memory, they need to decide between combinations of size(MB), fast, expensive, hot, big (anything else?).
Size-wise it would take at least same amount than one memory card slot, assuming it's any good. And if it's any decent size (>128GB) and fast, the price goes up. And the heat too.
Although, I'd be ok if Canon has even some small 64GB micro-SD card embedded inside the body. That would be slow and all, but it'd be ok for those times when some reason all your cards are full (or home), and you need to keep shooting even at slower rate. Maybe switch to jpeg at that point. The micro-SD wouldn't take much space, heat or price.

CANON: I hobe you thought of USB-C !! No USB 3.0. USB-C is so much sturdier and faster! USB 3.0 is old technologie... USB-C

Must offer a slight qualification on the sentiment being expressed, even though I plan to make this purchase. My dear generous kind mother (father), now sleeping in her(his) grave is the primary reason I have the gear I do. As a widow in the dirty thirties, she survived with the help of others but later made sure she in turn contributed. She also taught me that while it is reasonable to "treat" yourself and enjoy the fruits of your labour, in the long run the greatest personal satisfaction/contentment in life comes from sharing.
CR is proof that we all enjoy "sharing".

I inherited nothing. Every thing I have is a result of my own efforts and labour. Which I must admit is a good feeling. Growing up we had very little and I learned to save my hard earned money for the few things that mattered the most, like my first Canon AE-1. Today I am fortunate to make enough money to buy stuff and do things that adds value to my spare time and makes me happy (what beats taking Big Vic´s portrait (the big elephant bull in Mana Pools), in the moonlight by the Zambezi?), but not enough to take away my dreams. Which is also good. I will be rather surprised myself, if I don´t buy this camera ...Jack Douglas said:IgotGASbadDude said:

Well, your "usual" computer memory. a.k.a. RAM doesn't us solid state.
The buffer in your camera doesn't use solid state either.
They use other technologies that stands for far, far more writings to each memory cell.
Solid state are only used for "non volatile memory".
ECC doesn't really have anything to do with lifetime.
But with "data corruption". (caused by other things than memory cells getting weared out).

It's most unlikely that you will be able to charge it with a power pack.
Reason is mainly voltage. USB is 5V, 1D mkIV & 1Dx uses batteries with 11,1V. Which means that you will have to transform voltage before you can charge the battery. That causes some losses in efficiency.
At top of that. newer Canon cameras uses chipped batteries, and some advanced electronics that "supervises" the charging process. Which increases the lifetime of your batteries.
What you suggest would force Canon to add quiet much electronics inside the body.
More that that, charging batteries causes heat. Another problem to handle.
With that said. I´m totally convinced this will be a really great camera.

My idea was to be in balance (0 in any currency). I told my kids that they should prepare themselves for a zero outcome of me (and my wife) leaving this world. And on top of that, we will be so old that they will be worried about there great grand children when finally it happensGuyF said:IgotGASbadDude said:

WHY doesn't they new CAnon 1DX II have a way to transfer a few pics to either ur cell in ur pocket or straight to ur client?!?! It makes no sense at the $6,000.00 price point...come on now!
Why not just stick with the old 1dx ?? Most of my shots are viewed just on the web and NEED to be transferred at a game/event and within 3 hours so how does this help the intended audience this camera is geared for?
