Ain't happening. Not a chance.
May I ask why not?
If I had to bet, I would probably bet on something a bit lower as well, but I don't see why 9 fps would be so shocking.
Mechanically, if they can make a full-frame size mirror flip at 14fps in the 1DX, they can easily make it 9 in the 5D series.
Specs wise, it's far enough from the 14fps that there is no real threat to the product line differentiation.
It's close to the 10fps in the 7D, but Canon would be happy to sell anyone a 5D instead of a 7D, so no problem there.
Don't know the precise specs of Digic 7, but I don't imagine there would be a major data throughput problem with 28MP @9fps (28*9 is roughly equal to 50*5, so if the 5Ds can ...)
It may be a wish rather than a prediction, but it's not a completely inaccessible wish - or am I missing something?

When you look through the viewfinder you probably have the screen turned off
My old old Canon Digital Rebel had a sensor that told the camera if you were looking through the viewfinder.

Easy- proximity sensor in or around the viewfinder. The touchscreen would be deactivated when ones eye is at the VF

28MP * 9fps = 252MP/s, which is significantly higher than the ~171MP/s extrapolated from the 1DX:5D3 ratio. Sounds unlikely to me, although it could explain the switch to a newer DIGIC.
Sound logic but the change in DIGIC means all bets are off in trying to come up with a good estimate.
It may be that a single DIGIC 6 isn't enough to deliver 4K, so Canon are going to DIGIC 7 which does.
Reviewers talking about 4K video in non-video cameras are bringing up the topic of heat as an issue that cameras aren't necessarily dealing well with. Wonder how the 5DIV will go.
Oh, yes, it is strange for DIGIC 7 to be so soon after DIGIC 6 ... maybe DIGIC 7 is just late (And is why the 5DIV is late) and should have been in the 1DXII?
Yeah, me too. With the 16/41pt AF module spec, it seems that Canon is doing the same as in 1DX/5D3: putting the same AF module (but not processor) in there, so an all-f/8 would be likely.KarstenReis said:Hoping for all autofocus points at f/8 like the 1DX2.

This is what the screen of the 70D looks like when you're shooting with it (on the left) vs the screen on the 6D when you're shooting with it (on the right)
20151124_172417 by Jonathan Brady, on Flickr
If you touch ANYWHERE on the 70D except for the bottom left hand corner where the "Q" is, the screen does NOT respond. AT ALL. EVER. Once you touch the "Q", THEN the screen becomes active and you can touch any of those parameters and change them via the touchscreen. Touch the "Q" again, and the screen is, once again, dead. Holding the camera up to your face will NOT touch the "Q" area of the touchscreen unless your nose protrudes from your lips. Seriously. I'm not trying to be funny. That's where your nose would have to be to make contact with the "Q" on the touchscreen. Protruding... from... your... mouth... ...yep... Well, that is... IF you have a normally sized head. If your head is literally twice the size of the average human head, then I suppose your nose would easily press the "Q" button. Speaking of "Q"... did that last bit of information cue all the touchscreen haters who insist their nose would touch the touchscreen and change all the settings?
Anyway... That was for all of the folks who (obviously) have never used a Canon camera with a touchscreen and who either said they wouldn't use it because they're worried they'd constantly change settings with their face or said "it would be great if it could be turned off".
Now... regarding the robustness of articulating screens... Here's a thread I just posted on CR where I emailed Roger at Lens Rentals about the topic... http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=28423.0

dilbert said:jebrady03 said:It blows my mind that there's so much misinformation/misunderstanding out there about Canon's touchscreen implementation. Here's a post I wrote back in November of last year, which honestly was about 2 years after the last time any such post should ever have been written on the subject...
...
So for folks like me that never use that never have that particular screen active on the LCD, touch screen will always be and staff off because the "Q" will never be accessible![]()
j-nord said:28mpix @ 9 fps![]()
That would definitely get my attention but I don't believe either number. 28mpix maybe, 9 fps (without mirror lock up) I seriously doubt.

DIGIC 7
9fps
28MP * 9fps = 252MP/s, which is significantly higher than the ~171MP/s extrapolated from the 1DX:5D3 ratio. Sounds unlikely to me, although it could explain the switch to a newer DIGIC.
Chaitanya said:As long as it doesn't cost more than 3200$, it looks like a good camera upgrade over 5D mark III. I would like to see the SD slot upgraded to UHS-II spec just to keep it up to speed with 4k video.
ahsanford said:I think most people's disbelief with 9 fps is more 1DX2 cannibalization threat than a technical matter. The higher the fps gets on the 5D4, the more likely the cheaper 5D4 might steal 1DX2 business. Yes yes yes, there is far more to the 1DX2 than framerate, but some cannibalization will occur if the 5D4 framerate gets above a certain number.

4K or UHD @ 60fps would make a LOT of people forget about those Metabones adapters on Sony camera bodies...
