Those of you saying the 8k spec is impossible simply don't know how Japan works. NHK sets bar for video performance and then they "assign" tasks to different manufacturers (and Canon is certainly part of the mix) to make sure that bar is crossed. The 2020 Olympics is the inauguration event for NHK 8k broadcasting, so expect to see a LOT of 8k capable equipment this year. There is nothing in this spec that is not achievable with the support of CFExpress cards. I expect this the nominal 5D4 replacement and we will later (or maybe simultaneously) see the 5DS replacement with 75 or 80 MP. 39.3 MP is the minimum 3x2 resolution needed to make 8k, so either 40 or 45 make sense as the crop would be essentially zero for 40 and very minimal for 45. The R lenses are good enough to support a hi MP camera and Canon won't let that goodness go to waste, so count on the 80MP version as well. Given that express lanes are a bit power hungry, we may see only one card slot or one CFExpress and one SD (with performance limitations), but only time will tell. The amount and quality of the RF glass introduced sends the clear message that Canon is serious about the line and they have no intention of being outflanked by the likes of Sony, so expect big things in 2020. Another note re 8k and "killing the cinema line". For decent judder performance, 8k really NEEDS 60 fps, so you can also expect the cinema line to move to 8k/60 by NAB time. It is going to be a fun (and expensive) year. Don't forget to snap up that 8k TV set
