Does anyone know of a camera that does not use 8 character file names? Every one that I have ever had or used (Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus, Apple, GoPro, Panasonic, and even Kodak), from 1994 to present, has had 8 character file names....

Yup, plenty of cameras! All my Android phone have - as far as I remember - used more than 8 characters.
In fact, the image files are named "IMG_<YYYY><MM><DD>_<HH><MM><SS>.jpg"
So 3 chars for "IMG", 8 chars for YMD, 2 chars for underscores, 6 chars for time-of-date and 4 characters for ".jpg" = 23 characters.

There are a more than one billion Android devices out there, BTW.

Changing the subject, whats the chances of Canon matching the D5 on price or specs. The D5 looks pretty good to me. Anybody want 2 very used 1dx's....... (Obviously waiting to see what Canon comes up with)

Yes, but the real question is "does the D5 use more than 8 character file names"

I doubt Canon will be satisfied if they are not matching or beating most/many of these specs. So Nikon now has 12 FPS and an RF flash. This is getting exciting cause except for a price that's totally crazy this is going to be my first and only new pro camera purchase.

And the Canon 1D X still manages to duplicate the DOF preview button and multi-function button 2 on both the horizontal and vertical grip while Nikon still cannot figure out why this is important even on their new D5? Sometimes ergonomics and layout are equally as important as the latest electronic advancements.
