Looks almost the same custom menu as the 5dsr. Which is disappointing.

Despite having 7fps or 3fps shutter we can't pick somewhere in the middle.

The ability to switch to a shooting mode with a custom button is there but only stays within that specific setting (AV / tv or manual) rather than jumping from say, tv mode to program.

Simple stuff that would of added function and value, overlooked.

Still no spot meter AF linked to the focus point though. Also kinda a shame that they didnt utilize the dual pixel raw to automatically set the AF microadjustment.

Yey, must read.

I was going to say I wasn't sure but it seemed like it was, because it's something I really wanted and you know what it's like to be disappointed (again). This puts me one step closer to choosing this camera over the 1DX II by February, 2017. Funny how this was highlighted as a feature when the 1DX II was released but not for this camera.

It is not back. It does not have the 1DXII extra prism system. It does have the same seizure inducing mode found in the 1DX and 5DSR.....

From the manual:

That's the same illumination system as the one in the 80D, 5Ds, and others. The "seizure inducing" one according to some. It illuminates the whole LCD. Quite different from the 1DX2 implementation.

Clearly the "whole LCD" doesn't become red. Please explain exactly how these cameras do it since I only have the 6D and only learned to love the illumination on the 1D4. The manual states it's AF points lighting up in red but it also starts by saying when focus is achieved - seems semi-ambiguous.

AFAICS the whole LCD is illuminated from the side with blinking red LEDs. All the drawn (black, opaque) parts are highlighted in red, including the overlaid indicators like the level, flicker warning etc. The viewfinder image also gets a slight red tint. The light is not particularly bright - it helps in dim ambient light but not eg. when focusing on a dark/backlit subject in daylight.

That is definitely true. So if some of you with the camera will, you have until February to point me in that direction. I would love 14 fps but not at the expense of some added cropping ability compared to my 6D. That's singly my issue.

Ha i definately see how that would look. I actually ordered a 5dMarkIV when pre orders went live. Just saying that these would have been nice. Came from Nikon a few years back spot meter to af point was one feature i missed.

The AF microadjustment would have just been something cool to have that you would think would cut down on people having to send lenses back and or helped people with lens calibration which is a daunting task to some degree especially when you have to look at different configs for different lenses / focal lengths. If it just calculated that and adjusted something on the fly that would have been great. Maybee it cant be done since its only a small adjustment and some AF microadjustment needs to be modifed multiple points.

These compromises are a pain, for sure. Still we must navigate them picking what bugs us least.

Now I'm thinking I'd love to touch screen flip through shots and the 1DX II doesn't have it. Then I think, on camera, how often do I need to quickly scan a lot of photos since I often do this during idle times while waiting for my subject to show up. So, not a big deal.

OTOH, to be able to to touch focus faces in live view and not just video - much bigger deal for me.

Live view focus is a lot more accurate too. I took a photo of a Puffin off teh coast of Ireland a few years back with my 5DIII and a ef 400mm f2.8 LIS with a 2x TC attached. Wide open, the shots were a little soft. But when I engaged the live view focus...the results were spectacularly sharp. To be honest, when I got the files back to my laptop, it was hard to tell from the 100% viewing in lightroom if there was or wasn't a TC attached. It was THAT sharp, but using the normal viewfinder focus (which is far more practical and faster) the results were a lot softer. The 5DIII's ability to track is excellent, but the live view is a lot more accurate. So I'd like to try out the new touch screen live view focusing and tracking ability. I think the 5D4 has a lot more to offer than paper specs and the usability of the live view functions are a game changer for many. I can still exposure bracket easier in Canon's live view than I can with any other brand.
