AFAIK FF EXMOR is younger ;)

Well obviously, the point was it feels like he's been moaning about it forever!
And that's why I put that emoticon ;) into that post.
You can also see my initial response in Reply #14.
Because dilberts current complains might be correct at his point of view.
But not at the time the 5D (original) and 5DII were released. They had outstanding IQ at their time at their class.

Got it . . . been a long day :)

OK, so Canon now promises there will be a 5DIV (unsurprising to say the least).

I desperately hope the teaser implies that a 5DIV is made available this year and not that Canon is trying to reassure people like me to hold out while aiming to launch some time next year.

My 5DII's really need to be replaced. And with something that delivers visually better results. Canon or not.

5D Classic the best camera I have ever own!
It gave me more inspiration than medium and large format combined in the past... Hope the phenomenon will happen again and, I don't care by what manufacture if Canon lost interest, and only cares for share holders now.

To all of those that pick on me for continually harping on about DR, read the above. I'm not the only one that wants better IQ and the primary area that Canon has fallen behind in is DR and noise at low ISO.

Lol, of course not - or else there wouldn't be an 's' at the end of DRones. ::)

There's you, a few others on this forum, and about 40 usernames for Mikael. With numbers like that, I'm shocked that Canon hasn't responded immediately. Shocked, I say. :P

The shadow noise (banding) is horrific on the 5D2/3 and this destroys any chance of good DR in the shadows.

Get over the persecution complex, everybody wants 'better' IQ. Just some are better able to realise their vision with the equipment available, they are not wrapped up in the "myth of more". http://petapixel.com/2015/05/29/the-myth-of-more-not-just-another-fuji-x100t-review/

The 5D was my first fullframe camera; got it used. It was a nice upgrade from my 10D (which I also got used). My 5DmkIII was the first camera I bought new.

There is one feature in the 5DmkIII that I will happily debase myself in gratitude for and it's having a level built into the viewfinder. So much more convenient than using a bubble level.

I think the point is that everyone knows what you think. Everyone has the seen the arguments and had time to formulate an opinion about it. Some agree with you, others don't. What puzzles many of us is quite what you think you'll achieve by, as you put it "continually harping on" other than irritating people and polarising the argument which helps no-one.

I've hired the Mark I, and have owned the Mark II and Mark III.

Since the Sony A7R came out I have only been using my MarkIII in situations where autofocus counts. When the A7RII comes out, if the A/F is sufficiently good with my 24-70 and 70-200 L-glass, then I'll be selling my 5DIII and totally getting rid of Canon for everything except lenses.

Even if the 5DIV has a fantastic sensor, it'll still be a big and bulky body compared to mirrorless, so I doubt that there would be anything that Canon could do to tempt me back, outside of going mirrorless themselves.

I had just bought a 30d when I was at a wedding and the main photographer was shooting the 5d. I was kind of in awe of the camera. Later on I finally managed to buy a 5dmk2 which has been my main camera since launch (I think it's 6-7 years now). I actually can't remember having a single issue with the mk2 and I've learnt so much using it. The mk3 just wasn't enough of an upgrade although I did like the improved autofocus, dual card slots and reduced shutter lag. I think I'll be happy with the 5dsr which should be started to be shipped today sometime. Of course like some have mentioned the 5d series has also had some negative things about it but what camera doesn't? Starting a video revolution was a major thing.
