Oh come on Canon, not even a full frame 4K 240p with DPAF? I am switching to Sony!
Oh wait I don't shoot video!

DPAF for me is much more important than the no crop. I can compensate crop with a wider lens, simple as that. But having no DPAF oh boy. Then the only FF option with DPAF is the Canon C500. Other than that you have the Panasonic S1H Full Frame that has Auto-focus in 4k60. Not as good as DPAF but very usable.
You know Canon, it cannot be the same, it will have to be less... unfortunately. They have the tech to make a killer EOS R (Pro or Sport). But they will be holding back till there is no one left to buy the gear. We are in the rarefied atmosphere still shooting real cameras. Not exactly a dying breed, just a reduced footprint of a breed.I guess we all know now that the EOS R for sport will have same specs minus the mirror.
This could be a "Make one last upgrade for the Pros that have huge EF investments, then wow them with a R sport with better features so they re-invest in all new RF lenses"You know Canon, it cannot be the same, it will have to be less... unfortunately.

That would be perfect for me. I don't really care about full frame that much for video as long as I have DPAF. For photos yes, Full Frame I like it. But for video, DPAF > Full Frame. Let's wait to see what are the final specs. After all this is a rumours site.Yes but the S1h has a super 35 crop in 4k60. Maybe the 1dx iii has both 4k60 full frame with no DPAF or 4k60 cropped with DPAF
The post has been updated with fresh translated specifications. Since Craig is on the road, I got stuck doing the updates

3 months ago we knew the MKIII was coming, and the High Rez R - but the fact that there is not just one, but 2-3 R mount cameras being announced in the first half of 2020? My guess (hope) is that Canon is sandbagging, and will unveil the specs for the Canon R sport soon.
Right. It is isn't it? lol. okay, it IS coming next year as in 2021. we're definately not going to see the specs,etc soon though.I thought this was 2020
I bet an R sport version is 2 or maybe even 3 years away. Sony really has a big lead in mirrorless camera technology and FF mirrorless market share. Making the R&D investments to match the AF performance of the A92 simply may not be possible for Canon in the near future, especially when the camera market is in freefall. Sony is big and tough. Canon is facing a steep hill."sport" assuming you mean the 1 series RF is not coming next year according to pretty reliable sources.
I've had the personal opinion that the 1 series RF camera will be the the dual RF/EF hybrid viewfinder with the movable sensor. I was surprised the new sensor is the same resolution, it seems to me that they just applied the same upgrades that were performed on the 5d IV sensor for the R. The 1d Sensor already had very fast output, on the existing 1dx II. Just optimizing and producing it on a smaller process will make it slightly faster, and more importantly won't take as extensive design time."sport" assuming you mean the 1 series RF is not coming next year according to pretty reliable sources.
I'm not sure where you see that now.Somehitng is not right in the spec, image processor dual digic 6+ is.. the MK2 sme as the 20.1MP which is also the MK2. Maybe better to wait for official anouncement.
not that steep. Canon is currently doing AF tracking at 30 fps on DPAF, exceeding even that of the A9 II. Also, compare EOS R 1.0 to EOS R 1.4 - that was 11 months from ship date, and consider a 1 series RF will probably be similar to size and function of the 1 series EF camera, which means it can support quite a few DIGIC's with one dedicated to AF processing, something the EOS R cannot. Canon came a long way with the R in 10-11 months with firmware updates and AF speed and tracking. and that's nothing to what a 1 series RF camera could do.I

Tell it to M6 Mark II buyers. Of course it will be less in some areas, more in other areas. Every camera mfg., car mfg., does it... not just Canon. Different choices at different price points.You know Canon, it cannot be the same, it will have to be less... unfortunately.
While it might have an improved AF tracking, that's not all that matters for birding; resolution is also important and 20MP is pretty lame, if you consider the need for crop and all bird photographers have that need.I

Glad to see any rumor that the 1DX3 has improved AF tracking! For BIF, AF tracking in the 1DX2 is unstable in certain circumstances and falls short when compared to the AF tracking of the D5 or A92.
Oh boy...here we go.
This can't be true... No DPAF in 4k50? So, the 1d x ii has it but the iii does not? I really hope this is an error the the rumor specs. If it's not an error, then I guess I will be keeping my 1d x ii. For raw video with no AF already have blackmagic pocket with internal raw or the panasonic s1h with ibis. Let's wait to see if it's really true. Maybe it's a mistake and it's supposed to say "no DPAF in RAW", but "no DPAF in RAW + 4k60/50p" is too much to ask for. HUGE step backwards.
we live in an era of entitled people, demanding they need to be served the best, 20mp was good yesterday but its not good today in their minds everything must keep getting better, here to read all the angry entitled comments as well
